1) Sometimes when you are trying to download something on your college computer then you may not be able to do so and a error message is being displayed :
Access Denied: Error Message - Windows Update
Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download and install updates on your computer. If you believe you have received this message in error, please check with your system administrator.
For Windows XP Pro:
Start/Run/gpedit.msc. User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update. In the right pane, double click, Remove access to all Windows Update Features and set it to disabled.
For Windows XP Home Edition:
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate
Locate the value in the right pane called DisableWindowsUpdateAccess. Double click this entry and change the value to 0 (zero) or right click it and select Delete.
2)Add and Remove : Do you want to hide selective programs/applications listed in Add or Remove options in Control Panel :
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Local the program in question in the left pane. In the right pane, right click DisplayName and select rename: Add Quiet so it will read:
QuietDisplayName. No reboot or refresh needed. Open Add or Remove - the listing is now gone. To revert, rename back to DisplayName.
3) How to use Address Bar in Microsoft Internet Explorer with your keyboard :
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, use Alt + D to highlight the address bar. This allows you to enter a URL without the
mouse. And if you're still typing "http", "www", and ".com" as part of the address -- don't. It's just not necessary.
