Registry Tweaks to improve your Windows 7 Experience
Windows 7, like earlier versions of Windows operating systems allow users to edit registry entries to customize system settings. Below are some of the tweaks that you can use to do this.
Warning: Remember to backup the registry before implementing any of these tweaks. You can do this from the Registry Editor utility or by using a Windows 7 compatible registry tool.
How to Apply these Tweaks?
To make your task simple I have compiled all the tweaks into a Registry file which you need to Run by double clicking on it. The changes that this script is going to make are given below. If you don’t want all the changes to be made just edit the file and remove the part that you don’t want to happen. In case of any doubts you may write it in comment.
1. Adds “Copy To” and “Move To” options in files and folders context menu, so that you can easily copy and move them to other locations.
2. Sets Windows to automatically end task of programs which are either hanged or taking longer time than expected to exit.
3. Decreases menus show delay time, it’ll show the sub-menus fast when you select their parent menu.
4. Disables the low disk space check so that you don’t get the annoying low disk space notification in system tray.
5. Sets Windows to not waste time in searching for a program which no longer exists in your system when you try to open its shortcut.
6. Disables “search on Internet” prompt in “Open with” window so that it directly opens the program list.
7. Speeds up the Explorer navigation.
8. Adds “Take Ownership” option in files and folders context menu so that you can easily take ownership of files and folders in case you want to replace them for customization purpose.
I assure you it’ll not harm your system in any condition and its completely safe to apply. You just need to download the script and double click on the script.

How to Secure your Private Folders?
Do you have any private stuff that you would to hide from your friends and relatives? Would you want it to be Invisible so that it remains unnoticed by the normal users? But there are software which can display all the folders that are present on the Disk. So What if you can even password protect your folder? I guess having your private folder password protected as well as invisible should be secure enough. But you might think that you may need to have a software for that. Well here is a way to do that without using any additional software and you can show off in front of your friends by making their folders invisible as well as password protected. Here is is step by step procedure to create a password protected folder.
How to create a Password Protected Folder
1. Create a new folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder) and give it any name of your choice. For instance I name it as ABC.
2. Now in this folder place all the important files, documents or any folders that you want to password protect.
3. Now Right-click on this folder (ABC) and select the option Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
4. Now a new compressed zipped folder gets created next this folder (ABC) with the same name.
5. Double-click on this compressed zipped folder and you should see your original folder (ABC) here.
6. Now goto the File menu and select the option Add a password.
ie: File -> Add a password
Now a small window will pop up and here you can set your desired password. Once the password is set, the folder will ask for the password every time it is opened. Thus you have now created the password protected folder.
How to make it Invisible
1. Now Right-click on this password protected folder and select Properties.
2. At the bottom select the option Hidden and press OK. Now your folder gets invisible (hidden).
3. In order to unhide this folder go to My Computer – >Tools -> Folder options. Switch to View tab, scroll down and under Hidden files and folders you’ll see the following two options
* Do not show hidden files and folders
* Show hidden files and folders
Now select the second option and press OK. Now the invisible folder becomes visible in it’s location. To access it you need the password. To make it invisible again repeat step -1 through step-3 and select the first option and click OK. Now the folder becomes invisible once again.

Disable Autorun of Usb & Cd drives
I find it very annoying when I go home from work and plug my laptop into my external hard drive… The autoplay window always pops up and asks me what I want to do with the files, which may be fine the first time, but definitely isn’t after a year of that.
To get to the configuration screen for this setting, go to Start Menu \ Run and type in:
gpedit.msc
You will see the Group Policy window. You should select Administrative Templates \ System in the tree view:
You will see an item in the right side pane called “Turn off Autoplay”
Double click the item, and set the radio button to Enabled, and change the “Turn off Autoplay on” to All Drives.
Now you should be safe from the autoplay monster.
