How To: Change Your Ip In Less Then 1 Minute
1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok
You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"
You should now
be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or
something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of
your other networks.
8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again
You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.
15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"

19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address
With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.
P.S:
This only
changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address. If you plan on
hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they
try a little, they can trace it back
Change Text on XP Start Button.txt
Step 1 - Modify Explorer.exe File
In order to
make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to
be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special
editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker.
Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add,
delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource
files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and
decompiler and works on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows
2000 and Windows XP operating systems.
get this from h**p://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip
The first step
is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at
C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive
where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe
located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.
The category
we are going to be using is "String Table". Expand it by clicking the
plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by
highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the
XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the
stringtable. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word
“start” just as it displays on the current Start button.
There is no
magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s
highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the
highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that
you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used Click
Me!
You’ll notice
that after the new text string has been entered the Compile Script
button that was grayed out is now active. I won’t get into what’s
involved in compiling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to make
this exercise worthwhile. Click Compile Script and then save the
altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the
Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a name
for the file. Save the newly named file to C:\Windows.
Step 2 – Modify the Registry
!!!make a backup of your registry before making changes!!!
Now that the
modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the
registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the
system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this
article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go
to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open
field. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon
In the right
pane, double click the "Shell" entry to open the Edit String dialog box.
In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified
explorer.exe file. Click OK.
Close Registry
Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the
entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you
should see your new Start button with the revised text.[/b]
Your Home Page Nevr Being Changed
Some websites illegally modify your registry editor and set their website as default home page, for stop this,
1. Right-click on the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and select "Properties".
2. In the "Target" box you will see "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE".
3. Now by adding the URL of the site to the end of this it overrides any
Homepage setting in internet options:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
Save Your Desktop Icon Settings.
Recognize
this ?? You've got all your windows sized, icons placed the way they
look great.... explorer crash! (Or, the thing crashes not that much
anymore, but it seems to forget sometimes...) And there you go again..
but, there's a way to recover all your settings, that's windows placing,
sizing and icon positions, with just one click (Win 9x/2k).
First, make it
all look, once more, just the way you want it to be. Choose about 30
folders you access frequently to look good (don't forget your win- and
system dir, program files etc.).
Now these settings are in the Registry, open it and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Select the
folder 'Streams'. Choose 'Registry' in the toolbar, and 'export
registry-key'. The information in the key is being stored in a .reg
file, which is a simple textfile. Name & store where you want. Then
do the same with the folder 'StreamMRU'.
Close RegEdit
and open the last file with notepad. Remove the first line (REGEDIT4)
and copy the rest. Then open your first file and paste it at the end.
Save, close and make a shortcut to your desktop. And then, have fun and
mess up all your favorite folders. Once exhausted (double)click your
shortcut and confirm you wanna enter this info into the Registry.
Rejoice!
A lot of graphic cards come with some software to save your desktop icon layout. If yours didn't, alternatives:
Softwarium
Restore Desktop http://www.softwarium.com/download/RDSetup.exe
"magically restores icons' positions after display resolution changing.
You can also restore saved icons' positions manually by rightclicking on
the desktop" (free, all versions).
(!!) An even
more integrated solution, that works in all versions, is using
layout.dll/layout.reg
http://www.virtualplastic.net/download/hacks/layout.zip from the NT 4
Resource Kit. Put the .dll in your (9x) \Windows\System, (2k)
\Winnt\System32 or (XP) \Windows\System32 folder, import the .reg file
and have the option to save and restore (one configuration) in the
rightclickmenu of My Computer and the bin (14 kB, source: Jorge Walker
