How to Change XP Boot Screen

How to Change XP Boot Screen

If you would like to change your boot up screen follow the directions below.

These instructions assume that you have a place to download the boot screen from the net.

1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)

2. Download the .zip to your computer

3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)

4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)

5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe

6. Reboot your computer as you normally would

Easy IP Check

Easy IP Check

Use this if you just want to display your IP address and not the extra information

(default gateway / subnet mask)

Simply copy and paste the following into notepad

@echo.

@ipconfig | find "IP Address"

@echo.

@pause

And save as IP.BAT (save to your windows dir if you want to be able to access it anywhere)

Now when you type IP you will see:

---------------------------

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : x.x.x.x

Press any key to continue . . .

---------------------------

(information about the code: @echo. produces a blank line, @ipconfig |

find "IP Address" causes the output of ipconfig to be piped to the find command,

which looks for the line containing "IP Address", find then outputs your IP address,

@pause causes the terminal to wait for user input before continuing.

The @ before each command tells the terminal not to echo the command being typed.)

Fix for slow xDsl internet access

This is also valid for all Windows versions.

Sometimes during browsiing you can notice that it takes time to access any web page,

and then, suddenly, your connection establishes full-speed again.

The reason lays in amount of time it needs for tcp/ip protocol to translate a host name to an IP address.

In order to fix this problem your xDSL modem shoud have an internal IP address specified in TCP/IP properties. For Win98 it would be TCP/IP bounded to NIC.

In most of the cases IP address would be 192.168.1.2; subnet mask : 255.255.255.0.

Hope it helps.
