If you run a windows computer you’ll know like many others than after a while your system will in doubt start running slow. Most people will restart their computer to remove and idle processes. But if there’s a simpler way, why restart every time windows decides it doesn’t like you today?

1. Right click on an empty spot on your desktop and select New - Shortcut.

2. Type %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks in the box.

3. Click Next.

4. Give your shortcut a nice name like “Clear Memory”.

5. Click Finish and you’re done.

Now whenever your computer starts running slow click this shortcut to clear out your memory and get your computer running at a normal pace again

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. M*crosoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

First open your command prompt.Go to Start-->Run-->type out cmd

Type in Code:Net View

This will give you all the names for all the computers on the network.

Then you want to find a target so write it down for example a name is \\SUNIL-AD1950D6 then you will utilize that name to shutdown the computer.

What next? Next thing to do is type in

Code:shutdown -i

which will give you a Gui interface and you'll be able to shutdown whichever computer you want with it,you can set a timer.

some of the commands useful for the command interface are

Code:shutdown -m //computername

This command shuts down the system.

Code:shutdown -m -c "comment"

This command shuts down the pc with a comment.

Code:shutdown -l

This command logs off the users.

Code:shutdown -r

This command restarts the computer.
