If you open CMD and go to a directory, e.g. cdwindows, instead of typing the complete word "windows" type "win" + TAB. It will automatically search for the word and display the first value.

Registry Settings

Lets make some research:

By default HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive > CompletionChar value is 64 in decimal and 40 in hexadecimal

While in HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive settings: CompletionChar value in Hexadecimal and Decimal is 9

So, Which is being followed by the current Logon User?

CompletionChar = 9 by HKEY_CURRENT_USER

In which according to Microsoft Technet Articles, The Source of Registry Tips, hacks and Tricks in the Entire World!

The value 9 is the TAB key.

Therefore, By default you can use Tab Key for command line automatic completion of Path.

For example as shown in the picture above, going to c:windows directory and typing "cd sys". By pressing Tab twice or more you can see the possible directories beginning with "sys". These are:

• System
• System32

You can also verify that by using the command: dir sys* /ad

Let's try another.

Open Command prompt as administrator (Start Search > "cmd" > CTRL+Enter)

cd Win + (Tab Key) + Pe + (Tab Key) + w + (Tab Key) + d + (Tab Key)

equals C:WindowsPerformanceWinSATDataStore>

To have an idea Please Read more here.

Note: You cannot use wordpad command because the default search Path for executables are

PATH=C:Windowssystem32;C:Windows;C:WindowsSystem32Wbem

How DSL Works in the real world? What are the devices needed? How can you connect to other computers in Public IP settings like in P2P? What is DSLAM? I have so many questions...

Most of the small Internet Cafe that time doesn't use a router to connect to the Internet because it is still expensive (but getting cheaper day by day) thus, DUAL LAN-CARD/ETHERNET CARD NETWORKING is Popular.

Here's the Network Diagram: Figure A

Two Computers

Connect the two computers using UTP/LAN/CAT5 Network Cable

Three or More Computers

Sharing Internet using a Router: Figure B

Wireless Broadband Routers: Figure C

Networking Without a Router: Figure A

Cable Modem: The incoming line coming from the Cable Box uses Coaxial Cable and the line going to the computer uses USB or Lan Cable.

DSL Modem: The incoming line uses the Plain-Old-Telephone-System (POTS) and the line connected to the next computer or hub uses UTP/Lan Cable.

To setup DSL or Digital Subscriber Line PPPOE Connection, You need to input the Username and password to use the Internet. Please Read here for more information.

Internet Protocol (IPv4) Address Settings Example:

Gateway Computer

Lan Card 2: The LAN CARD Connecting to your Switch or HUB

IP Address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Other Computers  (you can set this automatic or enter the settings below)

IP Address: 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.255

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

Note: The same Procedure in Windows 2000, XP and Vista

To Add the Settings Above:

Press Win+R > type ncpa.cpl > Right-click the Local Area Connection 2 or Different Name that corresponds to the second Ethernet Card > Properties > Click the "Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)" > Properties

To check: Open Command Prompt and type: ipconfig

Enabling / Activating / Setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

1. From my Quick Tip: Open Network Connection Window by simply launching the command: Press "Win+R" > ncpa.cpl or Control ncpa.cpl

2. Select the local area network (LAN) Card for DSL or Cable Internet, WAN Miniport (PPPOE) for iBurst, USB Modem for 3G, GPRS, HSDPA or any type Dial-up Networking that provides you a primary Internet Connection > Right-Click Properties

3. In the Sharing Tab (Advanced Tab in Windows XP), Click to check the option "Allow other network users to connect though this computer's Internet connection" and Finally, Choose Local Area Connection 2 or any name that corresponds to the Second LAN Card connected to another Computer or Hub.

NOTE: If you are using 3G or HSDPA as your primary connection to the Internet. You will encounter this Message "Since this connection is currently active, some settings will not take effect until the next time you dial it.": Just Neglect it

Networking With a Router: Figure B

Usually, the guide is indicated in the manual of the router. There are many different kinds or ways to set the settings but uses the same principle as Figure A.

Different Ways

1. Setting the IP Address through a built-in web-server LAN program in the router. Open IE and type http://192.168.1.1

2. Setting the IP Address through Telnet or Hyper Terminal

The Simplest Explanation to Remember: Router is being used as a gateway and to connect to the Internet instead of using a separate computer. Thus, If your inputting Username and Password in PPPoE Connection you must set it inside the router.

Wireless Access Point: Figure C

The Network uses the same procedure in Figure B except you will only use one or two devices with more features like additional Wireless LAN Capability (802.11 a/b/g/n).

AD-HOC Networking

The procedure is the same with FIGURE A.

That's because of the default settings in executables path automatic search. To display type Path in command prompt and you'll see the default:

PATH=C:Windowssystem32;C:Windows;C:WindowsSystem32Wbem

These are the default Folders in which when you type any command and Enter key it will search in those directories first.

Example: Wordpad

You cannot launch the application directly to command prompt.

To Add new or Append new locations:

PATH=%path%;C:Program FilesWindows NTAccessories

To check: type Path again

PATH=C:Windowssystem32;C:Windows;C:WindowsSystem32Wbem;C:Program FilesWindows NTAccessories

Finally, type: wordpad

Now Its Included! Read here for more related tip.

When you close the command prompt and open it again. You need to add the path again.

Add the Folder Path Permanently

Using System Properties > Advance > Environment Variables Button > "System Variables" Group

or Press WIN+R > RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,,3 > At the Bottom, Click the Environment Variables Button > "System Variables" Group

Enjoy!!!

"Lawrence, It's almost two months now since you release the latest update of your software winbubble, do you have new releases coming soon? anyway, I have a question. How do I automate the installation of Windows XP? - Jared"

WinBubble is still in development and I'm still Shaping my skills. Surely, Everybody will benefit from my studies and Please stay tuned always. Thanks in advance.

Ok, Let's go back from the main topic. Open your Windows XP Installer and explore the following path: [Disc]SUPPORTTOOLS

Note: I recommend to download the latest one for Windows XP Service Pack 3, Download here

According to Microsoft the latest deploy.cab supports:

1. Copy the file Deploy.cab to any directory and Extract the files...

2. Click the Useful utility setupmgr.exe and if your using Windows Vista Run the File as Administrator.

3. Follow the Pictures below:

Now, you can enter your Name, Organization, Time Zone, Administrator Password, Display Settings, Product Key, Networking and other settings.

Note: In Windows Vista OS, Don't Set the Time Zone... Just proceed by Clicking to the other options.

Go to the location where you save the file Unattended.txt and Rename to WINNT.SIF and Place to I386 Folder of your Installer.

I made some Template if you don't want to use the software.

Save it as WINNT.SIF and place that to your Windows XP Installer directory I386.

How? Read here

Enjoy!

Tested in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3

Tested in Windows XP Service Pack 1

Open your notepad, copy-paste the settings above, input your Product Key and save it as Winnt.sif to I386 Folder of your Windows XP Installation Disc by creating an ISO image and editing the file using any ISO Editor.

Normal Mistake: Winnt.sif.txt, uncheck "Hide Extension for known file types" in Windows Explorer > Tools Menu > Folder Options > View Tab

Sorry... I can't find any Free ISO Editor for Windows. Please tell me If you find one :)

WORKAROUND:

Create a duplicate or a copy of your Windows XP Installer and do not finalize the burning of the disc. In short, make a multi-session disc.

Example using CDBurnerXP:

After creating a copy as multisession disc, Re-open CDBurnerXP and choose Data Disc > Open the drive and re-insert the disc for adding more files.

Adding winnt.sif to I386 Folder:

Continue Multisession Disc

Drag the File to I386 Folder and Start Burning!

Tip: You can also put your must have Softwares in the Installation Disc. Great for Computer Technicians!

For creating complete unattended installation, Read here...

The Clue: The Ease of Access Program

Where? The 624kb Utilman.exe is the key located at System Folder.

Steps:

Open the Folder WindowsSystem32 and check the Properties of Utilman.exe

Problem... My current Logon Username Lawrence and Administrators has no Permission no modify the file. Thus, If you try to rename the file, it will give you the message:

Destination Folder Access is Denied You need permission to perform this action

Normally, Winbubble Context Menu "Take the Ownership of this file" can add the permission but this time, you can't. (The Next Version can do it easily).

Also, Most of the Buttons are Disabled.

How to Add the permission

Prevention is better than Cure: To easily recover your system from any problems, Create a Restore Point First using the Context Menu that can be created by WinBubbles, Read here or you can do it manually: Win+R > rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,,4 > Create Button > Enter the name

1. Take the Ownership Of the File using the LONG METHOD, Click here and Right-Click the file > Properties > Go to Security Tab > To change Permission Click Edit Button > Click Administrator > Click to Check Allow Setting of Full Control option box

Another Way because I understand that your a Geek:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator, Start Search > type CMD > Press CTRL+ALT+Enter > Enter the Following commands:

If you didn't open CMD.exe as administrator, you'll get this message:

ERROR: The current logged on user does not have ownership privileges on the file (or folder) "c:windowssystem32Utilman.exe" 

2. Rename Utilman.exe to any for backup example: Utilman_old.exe

3. Create a copy of cmd.exe (CTRL+Drag)

4. Rename the Copy - cmd to Utilman

That's It!

Go to your Welcome Screen: Start Menu > At the Bottom, Click the Right Arrow > Switch User

5. Click the Blue Magic Button pointed by the arrow as shown in the first Picture above.

You have now successfully launch a Command Prompt in Administrator mode with UAC disabled...

Doesn't Work? Possible Mistake: In your Folder Option Window > View Tab > "If Hide extensions for known file types" is checked, Don't rename it to "Utilman.exe", use "Utilman" ONLY.

SWEET!!! Start Hacking your own computer :)

Now, it's fine for me to forget my password without creating a password reset disk or by hacking and clearing Vista Password using a Linux OS. Create a Backdoor instead! Is this bad? Of course, this is bad if you'll use it that way.

Net user [Username] [NewPassword]

For more Information, Read Here

Is this legal? Yes, it is... My steps needs the Administrator login to create a backdoor and If you do this by using another OS like Linux to another computer. That's the time it will became Illegal.

Type: whoami /all |more

Now we can see that System logon is the one running when you input Username and Password in the Welcome Screen.

Try typing taskmgr.exe (Browse Button let's you run a mini-windows explorer), Notepad and even Explorer.exe!

In my observations:

• Windows Firewall is ON (Great!)
• Spyware and other Malware Protection is ON (Great!)
• User Account Control is OFF
• You can browse the Internet
• The Location of Desktop: c:WindowsSystem32configsystemprofileDesktop
• Launch Windows Media Player, Windows Calendar, Windows Mail and many more

Note: There is a possibility that the guide above will work in latest build (Beta version) of Windows 7. Due to License and some legal concerns I can't reveal any data. Tell me?

ENJOY LEARNING WINDOWS!!! 

PROS: Security Rocks!

1. All the Rootkits and Worms even the new undetectable ones by Anti-Virus Software can be detected.

2. Modification of System Files by any software vendor (even Microsoft) will be detected.

3. IE 7 uses UAC to run in Protected mode that detects any add-on e.g. Adobe flash before installation and Spyware that wants to modify your system files.

4. Protects your Network from Hackers and Trojan viruses (If not yet compromised).

5. You can learn many things...

and many more...

I know many people doesn't like UAC because they have enough protection using Anti-Spyware/Rotkits/Virus and it's annoying for them.

I don't Recommend that, but it's up to you. Just don't forget that Protected Mode in Internet Explorer will be useless after disabling UAC. Therefore:

1. Do not use IE: Use Google Chrome or Firefox instead.

2. Install a Good Anti-Virus with Anti-Spyware/Malware/Rootkit Protection.

3. Use a Lower Privilege user login while browsing the Internet.

User Account Control (UAC) Right-Click / Context Menu

Using the Command that can be found on msconfig.exe and by using my Universal Elevation Script.

Now, you can easily Switch it off by adding the command to your context menu. How? It's easy!

1. Download WinBubbles and Go to [WinBubble Directory]Tools

2. Create a duplicate of lawrence.vbs and rename it to any filename e.g. DisableEnableUAC.vbs

3. Open it with notepad and modify the 7th line.

4. Use the Following code:

Great! Now you have a Command-Line vb script program to switch on/off UAC

DisableEnableUAC 0                    ---> Turn Off UAC

DisableEnableUAC 1                    ---> Turn ON UAC

If you are having difficulties in creating the script, download here

5. Put the program to your Context Menu

b. Go to  the Location of the Vbscript File and type "*.vbs" > Click the File (DisableEnableUAC) and Open Button

c. Type Any name example: Disable UAC

d. Modify the Command:

To Turn-Off UAC

wscript "[path]" 0

To Restore UAC

wscript "[path]" 1

e.g.

wscript "C:MyProgWinBubbleToolsDisableEnableUAC.vbs" 0

Finally, Click the ADD Button.

Just repeat the steps above for the Next Item.

Note: Please Reboot your Computer after Disabling/Enabling UAC
