WinXP: Six undisclosed secrets

1. Support large hard disk of 137 GB or more

To use a large hard disk of 137 GB or more, you must use the 48-bit LBA mode. First of all, your motherboard BIOS must support 48Bit LBA, followed by WinXP Home and Professional must have SP1 patch installed. Then open the registry, find the "EnableBigLba" option in the path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System CurrentControlSet Services Atapi Parameter" and change its value from "0" to "1". If the item does not exist, you can create a "DWORD value" item yourself, and set it up. Finally, you can restart it.

2.Delete shared documents

If you don't need to share files, you can remove it by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer My computer Namespace DelegateFolders and deleting the key "".

3. Lock the desktop

To lock the desktop without being modified by others, you can use a lot of tools such as TweakUI, but in fact, a small change in the registry can be achieved: enter HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Policies Explorer, create the DWORD value "NoDesktop" and change its value to "1".

4.Disable "Last Access Time Stamp"

Don't want this function, you can modify it like this: enter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control File system, create new DWORD value "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate", you can change its value to "1".

5. Set "Remote Access Connection Server (RAS)"

If necessary, you can modify it: enter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion WinLogon, create a new string value "KeepRasConnections", set its value Change to "1".

6. Using a plain text password (Lain Text Password)

When accessing a UNIX or LINUX server, sometimes a plaintext password is required. This is easy to implement under XP: find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services lanmanworkstation parameter Enableplaintextpassword" and set its value to "1".
