Changing the MaxMTU for faster Downloads !!
The Hacking Souls Are BackThere are four Internet settings that can be configured, you can get greater throughput (faster Internet downloads) by modifying a few settings.They are the MaxMTU, MaxMSS and DefaultRcvWindow, and DefaultTTL1.Open RegEdit2.Go toHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlset\ Services\ Class\ net\ 000x(where x is your particular network adapter binding.)3.Right click on the right panel4.Select New\String Value and create the value name IPMTU5.Double click on it and enter then the number you want. The usual change is to 5766.Similarly, you can add IPMSS and give it a value of 536(Windows 9X)You can set DefaultRcvWindow, and DefaultTTL by adding these string values to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlset\ Services\ VXD\ MSTCPSet the DefaultRcvWindow to"5840"and the DefaultTTL to "128"Note: These settings will slow down your network access speed slightly, but you will probably not even see the difference if you are using a network card. If you are using Direct Cable you should see a sight difference.

Hide Windows Vista Hard drives !!
Back up your registry before you start!1. Open Regedit.2. Navigate to one of these strings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer - this only changes the settings for the current logged in userHKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer - this changes the settings for all users on the machine. You may have to create the key folder "Explorer" manually.3. In the Explorer key folder, create a new DWORD value by right-clicking Explorer, then choosing New DWORD value. Name the value "NoDrives" (without the quotes). This value defines local and network drive visibility for each logical drive on the computer. All drives will be visible as long as this value's data is set to 0.4. Following the table below, enter the decimal number corresponding to the drive(s) you want to hide as NoDrives value data. When you right-click on NoDrives and choose Modify, make sure you select Decimal base, not Hexadecimal.Drive Number to hideA: 1B: 2C: 4D: 8E: 16F: 32G: 64H: 128I: 256J: 512K: 1024L: 2048M: 4096N: 8192O: 16384P: 32768Q: 65536R: 131072S: 262144T: 524288U: 1048576V: 2097152W: 4194304X: 8388608Y: 16777216Z: 33554432All drives 67108863If you want to hide more than one drive, you simply add the drive amounts together for a combined total.For example, to hide the D:/ and T:/ drives, add the decimal value for the D:/ drive to the decimal value to the T:/ drive.8 (D) + 524288 (T) = 524296To disable all of your visible drives, set the value to 67108863.You must reboot your PC to see your changes.

Secret Backdoor !!
Many sites that force users to register or even pay in order to search and use their content, leave a backdoor open for the Googlebot, because a prominent presence in Google searches is known to generate sales leads, site hits and exposure.Examples of such sites are Windows Magazine, .Net Magazine, Nature, and many, many newspapers around the globe.How then, can you disguise yourself as a Googlebot? Quite simple: by changing your browser's User Agent. Copy the following code segment and paste it into a fresh notepad file. Save it as Useragent.reg and merge it into your registry.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@="Googlebot/2.1""Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html"You're done!You may always change it back again.... I know only one site that uses you User Agent to establish your eligability to use its services, and that's the Windows Update site...To restore the IE6 User Agent, save the following code to NormalAgent.reg and merge with your registry:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]@="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
