How to enable a Proper Shutdown?

Hi, I have found a good registry setting for your PC. Have you noticed? Many time you wants to shutdown your PC urgently and needs to go, but it takes time to shutdown due some application are running in back end or on your desktop. Then you start to do end task or close the application directly or do directly power off. Due to this cause the operating system crash or application which you had closed directly will get corrupt. Here your headache will not stop. It will happen every day. It looses your money, time and health. So I got some registry setting which helps you to overcome to all these issues. This is registry file which automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from shutting down and clears the paging file on exit.

QUOTE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"

You have to save this file as shutdown.reg
Then Double click the file to import into your registry.
Note: You should be login as admin rights.
If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled.

Otherwise a good computer technician can do directly from registry editor. Make sure before using the registry editor you should have good knowledge about registry editor.

Precautions against the most common threats.

Below are some precautions, which you can take against the most common threats.

1)Use strong passwords and change them after specific time. Passwords should meet its standard (like at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and symbol). For example s4jmEob@5. So it will make much harder for anyone to gain access.

2)Windows Update and Office Update regularly (http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates); Windows Me, 2000, and XP users can configure automatic updates by clicking on the Automatic Updates tab in the System control panel and select the proper options.

3) Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the Windows Messenger service. Open Control Panel ->| Administrative Tools -> Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to the Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button.

4) Purchase antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you want to use free Edition, so try Grisoft AVG Free Edition.

5) Install a personal firewall. So it will block the unauthorized access.

6) Install a spyware blocker. It will remove or block the harmful spywares.

7) If you are using a wireless network, then turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WEP with the biggest key you can get.

8) Do not open anonymous mails or download attachments, because they can spread virus on your systems. For precaution you have to delete such mails.

9) Don't give your password to anyone on internet.

Why your PCs crash? (Part-3)

Power supply problems

A power surge or spike can crash a computer as easily as a power cut. If this has become a trouble for you then consider buying a uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This will give you a clean power supply when there is electricity, and it will give you a few minutes to perform a controlled shutdown in case of a power cut.

It is a very important if your data are critical, because a power cut will lost your unsaved data.

Software

Another common cause of computer crash is faulty or badly-installed software. Sometime problem can be cured by uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it. Use uninstall shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the programme in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh installation..

The System Registry can be corrupted by old references to obsolete software that you thought was uninstalled. Use Reg Cleaner to clean up the System Registry and remove obsolete entries. It works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (ME), NT4 and Windows 2000, Windows XP.

Read the instructions carefully before using it, so you don't do damage to the Registry. If the Registry get damaged you need to reinstall your operating system.

Sometime Windows problem can be resolved by entering Safe Mode. For this you have to restart or power on system.Then you see the message "Starting Windows" press F4. This should take you into Safe Mode.Safe Mode loads a minimum of drivers. It allows you to find and fix problems that prevent Windows from loading properly.

Overheating

The CPU equipped with fan, if fan fails or if the CPU gets old it may start to overheat and generate a error called a kernel error. To overcome this problem you have to replace fan or CPU and keep CPU in cool environment.
