Forgot Logon password ?.....don't worry
Forget password dont worry
Whenever u install XP, it automatically creates a built in account called "Administrator". It has administrative priviliges. Most Windows users don't use this account since its not displayed on the welcome screen. One more thing bout dis account is that it is not password protected (until n unless u have changed the password).

5. Wait for OS to load...
6. On the welcome screen you can now see the built in Administrator account. Just log in...:)
7. If you have a classic logon then in User name field type "Administrator" and press enter...
8. Enjoy...:)

how to hide a file in a image
1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. For the sake of this demonstration, I will be using
C:New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt
2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)
3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd
4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing
cd location [ex: cd C:New Folder]
5. Type [copy /b fluffy.jpg + secret.rar fluffy.jpg] (remove the brackets)
Congrats, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file.
In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take
a) Change the file extension from fluffy.jpg to fluffy.rar, then open and your file is there.
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.
C:New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as fluffy.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as New Text Document.txt
2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)

How to Remove DLL errors
Want to get rid of those DLL error messages on startup or upon opening applications? Ever had XP DLL errors that you just can’t remove in your system? You might be putting your PC into more serious trouble if you keep ignoring these warnings. You don’t have to be a computer geek to figure things out with the help of these basic guides.
XP DLL errors commonly occur on startup, usually while loading applications. Software loading might be interrupted by a warning message, indicating the missing or corrupted file that is necessary to run the program. These errors occur due to a number of reasons. First, the DLL file might be corrupted due to faulty installation that accidentally replaced the working DLL files with a corrupted one. Second, when one of the applications sharing a common DLL file with other programs is uninstalled, there is a big chance that the shared DLL file might be accidentally uninstalled, too; thus, the remaining applications that need this file might not work properly. Next, XP DLL errors commonly occur on virus and malware attacks. These harmful applications can automatically and independently alter or replace working DLL files, thus causing programs to be faulty and corrupted.
The basic step to get an overview of where the problem might be is to run your PC under Safe Mode. You can select this from boot options that will appear when you press F8 on system startup. If you have successfully entered Safe Mode, you can make a few safe changes by restoring your computer to an earlier time, when the error was still not visible. This feature can be found in Start Menu >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore.
If a DLL error occurs in a specific DLL file only, this can be resolved by reinstalling it. Secure an updated version of the missing DLL file and reinstall it carefully. You can also copy working DLL files from another computer, just make sure that it is compatible with your installed program.
Also, if the error appears after you have improperly uninstalled programs, run a clean reinstallation so that the system can properly coordinate DLL files with other applications requiring it. . Then, uninstall it once again and don’t forget to leave all associated DLL files intact.
If XP DLL errors appear during launching applications, these could be due to faulty installation of programs. It is recommended that you uninstall the program first and run a registry cleaner that will delete all the entries, both the working and the corrupted, from your Windows Registry. You can do this by installing Registry Cleaners that will scan your system for incorrect registry entries and invalid file paths. Then, do a quick and clean reinstallation of the faulty software to remove the error.
Keep your PC free from XP DLL errors by running a regular antivirus scan. You can also install registry cleaner software that can eliminate registry problems such as invalid file paths, incorrect registry entries and missing or corrupted DLL files. This can keep viruses and malwares away so that you can maintain a clean and virus-free PC while doing away with all these annoying DLL errors.

Automatic Screen Refresh
When you are working on your local computer and want to refresh any changes in your system automatically. For example some times you are watching sports results, online Stock Exchange rates and any changes to your hard drive but these changes are not usually refreshed until you press the F5 key on your keyboard.
To refresh your screen automatically you should edit your system Registry. But the best technique to edit the windows registry keys, always export or backup the whole windows registry keys on backup drive before editing. Because any mistake in Registry can cause serious problem in your computer to run properly.Follow the given steps to change the updates automatically.
First click on Start button then type Regedit in Run option.
In Registry Editor panel go to the path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet /
Control / UpdateMode
Here in right hand side panel edit the DWORD value to be between 1 and 5.
Now restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.
One Click Pc Shutdown
This is really very easy one but very effective one. Enjoy it!
First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.
But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:
shutdown -r -t 01 -c “Rebooting your PC”
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message “Rebooting your PC.” The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.
I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:
shutdown -s -t 03 -c “Bye Bye m8!”
shutdown -r -t 03 -c “I ll be back m8 !”
Switch
What it does
-s
Shuts down the PC.
-l
Logs off the current user.
-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.
-c “messagetext”
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.
-r
Reboots the PC.
