Tricking Notepad
Here's a really funny way to break Notepad.
This actually works. It will not crash your computer, it just breaks Notepad in that it causes it to display very oddly. No permnent damage comes of the following steps.
1. Open up Notepad (not Wordpad, not Word or any other word processor)
2. Type in this sentence exactly (without quotes): "this app can break"
3. Save the file to your hard drive.
4. Close Notepad
5. Open the saved file by double clicking it.
Instead of seeing your sentence, you should see a series of squares. For whatever reason, Notepad can't figure out what to do with that series of characters and breaks
Explanation: In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.
The reason this happens:
1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE

Copy a File’s Path to the Clipboard
Copy a File’s Path to the Clipboard without any Registry Hacks !
If you ever wanted to copy the full path of any file or folder to the clipboard but without installing any third-party utilities or making any changes to your Windows registry, here’s a tip for you.
Copy the File’s Location to the Clipboard
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the file or folder whose path you want to copy to the clipboard. Once you are there, hold the “Shift” key and right click that file or folder’s icon.
Because the Shift key is down, the contextual menu will have a new item that says “Copy as Path” – select that and the full location of the file or the folder will get saved to your clipboard from where you can paste it anywhere including the DOS window.
You can use this tip to copy a file’s location from all places including those appearing in the desktop search results.
This trick works in Windows Vista and Windows 7 but not XP.

Change DOS Background
CHANGING DOS BACKGROUND
The value DefaultColor controls the foreground and background colors used in command prompt windows. It has a default value of 0, for standard white text on a black background.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
u'll find "DefaultColor"
You can replace it's value with a two-digit hexadecimal number, in which the first digit selects a background color and the second a foreground color. The hexadecimal codes are:
Hexadecimal value - Color
0 - Black
1 - Blue
2 - Green
3 - Aqua
4 - Red
5 - Purple
6 - Yellow
7 - White
8 - Gray
9 - Light Blue
A - Light Green
B - Light Aqua
C - Light Red
D - Light Purple
E - Light Yellow
F - Bright White
A value of F0, for example, would give black text on a white background, and 1E would yield yellow text on a blue background.
The change should take effect the next time you open a console window.

[W] Add/Remove Windows Components Error
Error "Setup library comsetup.dll could not be loaded" while opening Add/Remove Windows Components
When you click the "Add/Remove Windows Components" button in Add or Remove Programs, the following error message is displayed:
Setup library comsetup.dll could not be loaded, or function OcEntry could not be found.
When you press OK, the following error is seen:
The application could not be initialized.
This error occurs if the file comsetup.dll is missing from the C:\Windows\system32\setup folder.
Method 1:
The DllCache folder maintains a copy of comsetup.dll file. So, you can copy the file to the following location:
C:\Windows\System32\setup
Note that the DLLCache folder is located at:
C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
Method 2:
Extract comsetup.dll from Windows XP CD
In the Command Prompt, type the following command:
expand X:\i386\comsetup.dl_ -r c:\windows\system\setup
Where X:\ is your CD-ROM drive letter. The above command assumes Windows is installed in C:\ drive. If not, change the drive letter accordingly.

[W] `No to All’ During File Copy Operations in Windows
‘No to All’ During File Copy Operations in Windows
While copying or moving a large number of files from one location to another folder in Windows, you may often encounter errors or warning messages saying the file(s) you are trying to copy already exists in the target location.
Windows No to All – Keyboard Shortcut
If you are using a previous version of Windows (like XP or Windows 2000 but not Vista), the default error window will offer four choices – "Yes", "No", "Yes to All" and "Cancel".
There’s no "No to All" button in the File Replacement dialog but you can simply hold down the Shift Key before pressing the No button and Windows will automatically interpret this action as a "No to All" command.
This will be so useful when you are copying a large number of files and folders but don’t want to overwrite content that already exists at the target.
In case of Windows Vista, Microsoft designed a more intuitive warning message with a check box that lets you repeat the same operation on all upcoming conflicts.

[W] MAC address of your computer in Windows XP
MAC address of your computer in Windows XP
A MAC address is usually your computers unique hardware number. You don’t have to use it on your own. When you are using a network connection an IP address is assigned to your MAC address in the router. It’s also sometimes called your Ethernet address. Your wireless Internet connection may get connected faster upon restart if you have manually entered your MAC address in the router configuration.
In Windows XP there are multiple ways you can find the MAC address of your computer. The simples method is:
* Click Start
* Clilck Run…
* Enter “cmd” (without quotes) and hit Enter
This opens the command prompt. Type ipconfig /all and this brings up such kind of information:
The physical Address is your MAC address.
If you are not comfortable using the command prompt, in Windows XP you can also find your MAC address in the following manner:
* On your Desktop, click Network Connections
* Right-click on the network connection you are currently using
* Click Status
* In the window that comes up click the Support tab
* Click the Details… button
The Physical address is the MAC address.

[W] FAT to NTFS
Convert FAT to NTFS file system.
To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.
Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt.
In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.
Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.
NOTE: Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command. It is also recommended to verify the integrity of the backup before proceeding, as well as to run RDISK and update the emergency repair disk (ERD).
