Login to Yahoo Messenger with multiple id in same time

I have good news for those who like chatting by using Yahoo! Messenger. We usually have more than one account (including Kang Rohman). In default, if we log in to Yahoo! Messenger on our computer, we cannot log in again with another account. If we try to log in with another account, automatically, the previously logged-in-account will be logged out, in other words, we can only log in with one account.

Is there a way to be able to log in with multi account within the same time? Well, actually there is the way to log in with multiple accounts in the same time. Want to know? Below are the steps (for Windows XP)

1. Click Start on your computer
2. Click Run…
3. Write : regedit
4. Click OK
5. When window registry editor open, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER
6. Open this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER ⇒ Software ⇒ Yahoo ⇒ Pager ⇒ Test.
7. Right click at the folder Test ⇒ New ⇒ DWORD Value

8. Rename the New Value #1 becomes : Plural
9. Right click at Plural ⇒ Modify
10.Change Value Data becomes 1, Base choose at decimal. Click OK


11.Close your Window Registry editor


Thats ok.You have done.

Disable Error Reporting From Your PC

Whenever an application suffers from an error, and is closed down by the system or by you, the Microsoft Error Reporting feature will pop up, asking you if you want to send a report about the problem to Microsoft.

As I have reported previously, there are some privacy concerns with this.

Windows allows you to customize the way Error Reporting works. Open the System applet from Control Panel, and select the Advanced tab. Near the bottom, click the Error Reporting button.

You can enable or disable Error Reporting, or when you leave it enabled, you can specify which programs you want to exclude from this feature.

Display Administrator Account on Welcome Screen at Start Time

By default, the Administrator account is not displayed on the Welcome Screen. To log in to the Administrator account, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, release the Del key, and press it again, while still holding down the Ctrl+Alt keys. This will change the Welcome Screen login to the Windows 2000 style log in, where you can now type Administrator and the password for the Admin account.

You could also add the Administrator to the Welcome Screen:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
3. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
4. Name the new value Administrator
5. Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data
6. Close the registry editor .

Hide Users on the Welcome Screen From Your PC

When you add an account for certain users with Windows XP, their user names will appear on the Welcome Screen. Sometimes a user needs to be added to a Windows XP machine, because the user needs access (via the network) to resources on the machine, but the user will not be physically logging in on the computer. You can remove this user name from the Welcome Screen, while still maintaining the user account.

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \
3. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
4. Name the new value exactly as the Username
5. Leave the Value data as 0
6. If you want to enable this user again on the Welcome Screen, either double-click the Username value, and change the Value data to 1, or delete the Username
7. Close the registry editor

Use the Hibernate Option

The hibernate feature saves everything in memory on your hard disk, turns off your monitor and hard disk, and then turns off your computer. When you restart your computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.

Typically, you put your computer in hibernation when you will be away from the computer for an extended time or overnight. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it.
To put your system in hibernate, press Turn Off Computer on the Start menu, and on the next window, put your cursor over the Stand By button. Now press the Shift key on your keyboard. Stand By will change to Hibernate.

To use Windows Power Options, you must have a computer that is set up by the manufacturer to support these features. For more information, see the documentation that came with your computer.

What you need to know is that if hibernate is enabled on your computer, a hidden file hiberfill.sys is created in the root of your system drive (usually C:\), which is around the same size as your system's memory (RAM). You can't move this file to another drive, it has to be in the root of your system drive. If you don't use hibernate, you can remove this file by going to the Power Options in Control Panel, and on the Hibernate tab un-check Enable hibernation

Create a Password Recovery Disk in Your PC

If you want some added safety in case you forget your password, you should create a Password Recovery Disk. To do so, open User Accounts from the Control Panel. Select the account for which you want to create a Password Recovery Disk; this will put you in the change 'mode'. From the Related Tasks at the left side, choose Prevent a forgotten password and follow the wizard to create a Password Recovery Disk.

If you upgraded from Windows NT or 2000, you will need to create new disks. The old disks you created on the previous OS version won't work.
When you ever forget your password, you can press the and you will see a link to use your Password Recovery Disk. This will verify your access rights, and prompt you to create a new password, which you can use to access your account. The new password is written to your recovery disk at the same time you create it.

Remove Shared Documents Folder from Your Computer

If your computer is part of a Workgroup, you will notice that a Shared Documents folder appears in My Computer. This folder lets you share files with multiple users easily. If you want to remove this folder you can:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer \
3. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
4. Name the new value NoSharedDocuments
5. Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as its Value data
6. Close the registry editor
7. Log off, or restart Windows for the changes to take effect


To reverse this process, change the Value data to 0, or delete the NoSharedDocuments Value.

Adjust the Size Of Thumbnails to your PC

There's an easy way to change the size of the thumbnails that are used in Windows Explorer's thumbnail view:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \
3. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD
4. Name the new value ThumbnailSize
5. Double-click this new value, and enter a value between 32 and 96 (hexadecimal)*
6. Close the registry editor


*) There have been information that the value can go up to 256 (hexadecimal), but I have not been able to set this value over 96 on my system. Frankly I doubt if higher values are indeed possible: 96 hex is already 150 (pixels) decimal. A thumbnail of 256 hex would be 598 pixels wide!

To return to the default, just delete the ThumbnailSize value.

The registry hack above will change the settings for the current user only. To change them for all users, add the key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ (you'll need administrative privileges to do this).

Prevent Your PC to Writing to USB Storage Devices

Many system administrators have had some sleepless nights over this: it is too easy for users to connect a device (USB-key or MP3 player) to the USB port of a computer, and copy things off the system. This is an obvious security risk. This has been addressed in Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. You have to manually add the following registry key:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control key
3. If there is no key called StorageDevicePolicies, create it. You do this by right-clicking the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control key, and selecting New > Key from the menu.
4. Select the StorageDevicePolicies key
5. From the menu select Edit > New > DWORD Value
6. Name the new value WriteProtect
7. Right-click the WriteProtect value and choose Modify
8. In the Value Data: box enter 1
9. Exit the registry editor, and restart your computer


To reverse, just delete the new WriteProtect value (or set the value to 0) and restart the computer.

Note: works on Windows XP Service Pack 2 only!

Prevent Your Windows Media Player from Keeping a Recent-files List

Windows Media Player's (WMP) file menu shows a list with the most recetly played files. To prevent WMP 8.0 (and later) from maintaining this list:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ MediaPlayer \ Preferences key
3. From the menu select Edit > New > Binary Value
4. Name the new value AddToMRU
5. Right-click the AddToMRU value and choose Modify
6. In the Value Data: box enter 00
7. Exit the registry editor


To reverse, just delete the new AddToMRU value (or set the value to 01).

Note: To clear current entries from the most recently played files list, delete the registry subkey HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ MediaPlayer \ Player \ RecentFileList (see picture below)

To clear streamed media entries, delete the registry subkey HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ MediaPlayer \ Player \ RecentURLList

Try To Keep RAS Connections Alive When Switching Users

You might have noticed that when you use the "Switch User" feature of Windows XP, you will lose your RAS (Dial-up and/or certain xDSL connections) connection. You can avoid this by entering the following to your registry:

1. Start the Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
3. Right-click an empty space in the right-hand pane, and from the menu select New > String value
4. Name the new value KeepRASConnections
5. Right-click the KeepRASConnections value, and choose Modify from the menu
6. Enter 1 as the Value data
7. Close the registry editor and log off from Windows for the changes to take effect


Next time you switch user (Start > Log Off > Switch User), you won't lose your connection!

Add "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" to Explorer Context Menu For Better Use

You can add "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" to the Explorer context menu, so when you right-click a file or folder in Explorer, you have the option to Copy or Move it to another folder.
  1. Start the Registry Editor
  2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers \
  3. Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry, and from the menu select New > Key
  4. Name the new key Copy To
  5. Repeat step 3, but this time for the name (step 4) choose Move To
  6. Change the (Default) string value found in the Copy To key to {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
  7. Change the (Default) string value found in the Move To key to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
  8. Close the registry editor
