To convert a FAT partition to NTFS:
Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt.
In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.
Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.
NOTE: Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command. It is also recommended to verify the integrity of the backup before proceeding, as well as to run RDISK and update the emergency repair disk (ERD).

SET the SEARCH screen to the classic look!!!
When I first saw the default search pane in Windows XP, my instinct was to return
it to its classic look; that puppy had to go. Of course, I later discovered that a
doggie door is built into the applet. Click "Change preferences" then "Without an
animated screen character." If you'd rather give it a bare-bones "Windows 2000" look
and feel, fire up your Registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \
CabinetState.
You may need to create a new string value labeled "Use Search Asst" and set it to "no".
How to make your Desktop Icons Transparent
Go to ontrol Panel > System, > Advanced > Performance area > Settings button Visual Effects
tab "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"
Remove the Recycle Bin from the Desktop
If you don't use the Recycle Bin to store deleted files ,
you can get rid of its desktop icon all together.
Run Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Wi
ndows/CurrentVersion/explorer/Desktop/NameSpace
Click on the "Recycle Bin" string in the right hand pane. Hit Del, click OK.
How to Rename the Recycle Bin
To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).

DOS tricks!!
here are two additional switches that can be used when doing a DIR
1. /B - Shows only the long filename, no details
2. /Z - Shows the short filename, with details
3. /B /Z - Shows only short filename, with no details
DOS Command History
If you use DOSKEY in either your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or as part of the properties of your
you can show and recall the history of commands you enter and the DOS prompt.
* To recall previous commands, use the up arrow key.
* A complete list of previous commands can be shown if you press the F7 key
* To use one, press F9 and the number of the command you want to use
* To clear the cache, press Alt+F7
Changing a File's Date and Time Stamp
You can change the Date and Time stamp of a file to the current setting.
Type:
COPY filename /B + ,, /Y
Removing the Microsoft Copyright from a DOS Prompt
By default, when you open a DOS window, the Microsoft Copyright notice shows.
To disable it, add the /K switch in the Program tab
For example: C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /k
Setting the Number of Lines in a DOS Window
To set the number of lines displayed when you open up a DOS window:
1. Create a shortcut for the MS-DOS Prompt
2. Right click on it
3. Select Properties
4. Click on the Program tab
5. In the Batch file:, line enter mode con: lines=xx (where xx is the number of lines you want displayed)
6. Valid numbers for xx are 25 or 43

Starting DOS Fast
Want to start DOS fast outside of the START button? Drag it to your desktop.
Want to start it even FASTER without the mouse?
1. Change the shortcut properties of the DOS icon to something unique, like Ctrl-Alt-Z.
2. Then to start DOS from within Win95/98?/NT just enter C-A-Z and poof! it's there.
3. If you toggle away, and hit the shortcut sequence again, you'll get the "old" DOS box, not a new one.
Long Filenames in a DOS Box
More long filenames in DOS paths...
You don't need the close double quote when entering long folder names in DOS.
CD "\program files
works as well as
CD "\program files"
You can use long file names in a MS DOS Box.
All you have to do is pu the long file name in quotes.
Example: cd "program files"
Expanding Full Path or File Name
NT 4.0 Only
Expand full path/file name with defined char using Command Prompt in Win NT 4.0
You can expand the full name of a file or directory using a character of your choice.
1. Close all Command Prompts
2. Start the Registry Editor
3. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
4. If not present, add Key: CompletionChar
5. If you like to use TAB-Key for expand: set value (REG_SZ): "9"
You can test it:
1. Open up a DOS window
2. Type: CD (followed by TAB)
3. The first available directory will appear
4. Press TAB again, the next one will appear
5. The same can be done with the DIR command
Adding DOSKEY to your DOS Window
One way to have DOSKEY available when you open a DOS window would be to have it in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
This takes away conventional memory, even when you don't have a DOS window open.
To only use DOSKEY when you open a DOS window:
* Right click on your DOS shortcut
* Select Properties
* Click on the Program tab
* Add DOSKEY > NUL to the Batch File field
* You can also add /INSERT if you prefer
Showing DOS Error Codes
If you want to see what error codes are being generated by DOS programs,
start your DOS session with the addition of a /Z parameter to the COMMAND.COM program.
Changing Directories in DOS
Normally, you can move up one directory level by typing CD ..
The DOS with Windows95 allows you to continue moving up beyond the first directory by simply adding more periods
For example, to move up two levels, type CD ...
Entering Long Paths in a DOS Window
If you have to enter a long path and program name in a DOS window,
1. Open up the Explorer
2. Go to the folder you want
3. Drag it to the DOS window
4. The path will be inserted into the window
This can come is useful with the long path names and all the ~'s you would normally need to type.
If you need to change directories, type in the CD before you drag the directory.
Having DOS Programs Prompt for Input
When you normally create a shortcut for a DOS program, it does not prompt you for any input and just runs the program
To change that, simply add a ? after the program name in the CMD field.
For example:
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EDIT.COM ?
will start the DOS editor and prompt you for a file name to edit.
Verbose Directory Listing
To see your free memory and other useful info in detail:
1. Open a DOS box
2. Go to the directory that you want to get specific info about, or if you just want to see memory info go to any directory (I use the root).
3. Type DIR /V
4. The /v argument stands for "verbose".
5. All sorts of good information comes up.
Easy way to open up DOS prompt in a specific directory
With the advent of long directory names, it can be difficult to open up a DOS box and CD to the directory you want
particularly if it is several layers of long names deep.
An easy way is to:
1. Open up Explorer and highlight the directory you want to be in
2. Select Run / Command from the Start Menu
3. Your DOS prompt will now be in the directory you highlighted in Explorer
1. /B - Shows only the long filename, no details
2. /Z - Shows the short filename, with details
3. /B /Z - Shows only short filename, with no details

AUTOMATING the installation of XP!!!
You can create a CD that can install Windows XP automatically, putting in all the details and answering all the dialog boxes.
The secret behind this is the answer file, which tells Windows what to do while it's installing. The answer file can be created using Windows setup manager.
Using this tool, you can make the answer file so powerful that you can even tell Windows to include or exclude individual components, set the display resolution, and more.
Here's the Steps involved in creating XP Automated Installation Disc :
Step 1: To begin with, insert your Windows XP installation CD into the drive and copy the entire contents of the CD to a new folder on your hard disk.
Step 2: Navigate to the Support > Tools folder on the CD and double-click the Deploy.cab file. Copy all the files to a new folder on your hard disk.
Step 3: The crucial part begins now, creating the answer file. To execute the windows setup manager, double click the Setupmgr.exe file from the contents of the Deploy.cab, which you just copied onto the hard drive.
Step 4: The first few steps of the wizard are self explanatory. Select the following options from the successive dialog boxes. Create a new answer file; Windows unattended installation (Select the appropriate Windows version); "Fully automated"; "No this answer file will be used to install from CD"; and finally, accept the license agreement.
Step 5: Under the General Settings, you can customize the installation of Windows by providing the default name and organization, display settings, time zone and the product key. Fill in the fields using the drop-down list or by keying in the details. If you don't select an option from the drop-down list, the default values will be used.
Step 6: After you are done click Finish and save the answer file as "winnt.sif" when you are prompted. Advanced users can further tweak the answer file by referring to the Help file called Ref.chm in the same folder.
Step 7: Finally copy the answer file to i386 folder in the Windows XP installation folder you created in the beginning.
Step 8: To burn a bootable installation disc, you need the boot sector of the Windows XP CD. Download it from here bootfiles.zip
Step 9: Launch Nero and select CD-ROM (Boot) from the New Compilation dialog box. Under the Boot tab, specify the boot sector file you downloaded and extracted. Set the emulation as "No emulation", and keep the boot message blank. Most importantly, remember to set the "Number of loaded sectors" as 4.
Step 10: Under the Burn tab, set the write method to disc at-once. Click the New button to to begin adding files and folders to the compilation. Drag all the contents of the Windows XP installation disc that you copied to your hard drive (with the answer file in the i386 folder) into the left pane. Insert a blank CD into the optical drive and hit burn button. Your windows automated installation Disc is ready! :)
