Throttling load time on self-starting programs
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Most users and administrators are familiar with the Startup folder in Windows, which holds shortcuts for programs to be launched when a user logs in. On systems that don't receive much fine-tuning, the Startup folder is often very crowded. Find out what you can do about it in this tip.
Change the default time-out period on a shared network computer
[Mark Mills]
While changing over to WinXP on some of his desktops, SearchWin2000.com member Mark Mills noticed that the system would show a disconnected share if the share wasn't used recently. Apparently, the default time is 15 minutes before a server will drop the share from a user. Read Mark's tip for changing the default time-out period on a shared network computer.
Optimize/defrag a specific file on your hard disk
[Tim Fenner]
Windows 2000's Defragmenter is limited in its abilities to both schedule disk defrags and to defrag only specific files instead of the entire drive/volume. SearchWin2000.com member Tim Fenner looks at another option.
Ask the Expert: What's the best way to save large files on my hard drive?
[Serdar Yegulalp]
Dear Serdar,
I wish to save certain large files on my hard drive, and format the rest. I tried creating a partition, but I have to have the "basic disk configuration" and I do not have a disk to restore those. I also looked into creating a dynamic volume, but the info on such is extremely vague and I do not wish to do anything that can sabotage these files. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
