Your favorite sites are quickly accessible through your "Most frequently visited" folder on the Bookmarks toolbar. However, you accidentally deleted or overwrote this while backing up your computer.
There is unfortunately no menu option to undelete the folder. This is because your bookmark
library is actually a small database and you have to define a database query for that. To solve the problem here is a simple sloution------------
The individual parameters work as follows: you state that the results must be pulled from the
browser history with “queryType=0”; sort them in decreasing order of visit frequency with “sort=8”;
and limit the number of displayed results with “maxResults=20”.

Making Photo folders in Windows
This trick shows you how to setup any folder to display its contents as a photo folder. In most cases, you can save your images/photos in a folder different than “My Pictures” (under “My Documents“). Since this folder you choose is just like any other normal folders, its contents displayed as a listing of files. You can temporary change it by just right-click and select “View” >> “Thumbnails“. But if you want to change the folder so that everytime you come back, the folder itself, as well as all its subfolders, display the contents as photo thumbnails.
- Right-click on the folder you choose and select “Properties“
- Select “Customize” Tab. Then under “Use this folder type as a template“, select “Pictures (best for many files)“
- Check on “Also apply this template to all subfolders” to apply the setting to subfoders as well

How to bypass Windows XP login screen
First you have to make sure that you have logged into an administrative account else you will not be allowed to make changes. Go to “Start | Run” type “control userpasswords2” without the quotes. If you aren’t logged into an administrative account it will ask you to login into one. After you have done that a new window will pop up. Under the “User” tab, you will see a check box saying, “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer”. Uncheck that box. Now if you have multiple user logins, then it will ask you which login you would like to automatically log into. Enter the username and the password if any and click on “OK”. Restart the machine and you will directly reach the desktop.

Problem in Saving data on an unwilling USB pen drive
At times the ‘0x80070052’ error message is displayed when you are trying to copy files to a pen drive. You
are unable to save the data. Strangely, data can still be read from the drive. The good news is that it is most likely that the stick is physically intact if the data on it can be read. The phenomenon described above can have various causes. It is possible that the root directory of the stick contains too many files. This can lead to problems if it has been formatted with the FAT file system. The first step is to delete objects or move them into a sub-folder. Better still, reformat the memory stick with the FAT32 file system. To do this, back up all your data on to your hard disk. Then, right-click the pen drive's entry in Windows Explorer and select the ‘Format’ from the context menu. Here, change the setting to ‘FAT32’ under ‘File system’, leave the
other options as they are, and click on ‘Start’. Confirm the warning that follows with ‘OK’. FAT32 can be read and written to by most operating systems without any problem. This is practical even when exchanging data with computers running Linux or Mac OS.

Installing programs faster using the Explorer restart option
Whenever you install a new program,Windows asks you to restart your system before
allowing you to use it. This tip will help you to save time and prevent a system reboot by actually restarting the Windows Explorer shell and rereading the registry, which is what the program actually needs.
For Windows XP and Vista, this tip describes that the Windows Explorer can be killed using the command
‘tskill /f /im explorer.exe’ via the Command Prompt.
Now restart it by typing ‘explorer.exe’ right after that in the same Command Prompt window.
This makes Windows read the registry all over again, which is a substitute for the usually required restart after any software installation is done.
FOR WINDOWS XP HOME
The command is slightly different — ‘tskill/a explorer’. The file name ending
with ‘.exe’ does not need to be included. Windows Explorer restarts automatically in Windows XP Home without the need to type in the ‘explorer.exe’ command modifier.
Caution---Start the batch file as administrator.

Accessing system files that are blocked to the user by Windows
Windows denies even administrators access to certain folders, for example “System Volume Information”
containing data of individual restore points. Even worse, a virus could end up in these folders a virus scanner would not be able to find and remove it due to this restriction. As administrator, you have the option of getting the rights you do not have. However, this permanently changes the settings; which is not advisable in most cases. Using the “at” command, Windows automatically starts a program at a predefined time in such a way that it runs with system rights. To do this, you must enter a few parameters in addition to the program name
example, Windows saves user accounts and groups in the SAM database under the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM” key. You require higher system rights to access this entry.

- They are the start time and the “/interactive” option in order to communicate with the program.
- Call up the “Run” command in the Start menu and type “at [hh:mm] /interactive [Program name]” and press [Enter]. Replace the time [hh:mm] with the time displayed in the system tray plus one minute.
- Click “OK”. Now wait till the minute is over and till the system runs the program with maximum administrator rights. This can be Windows Explorer for instance, which can now open the directories that were previously blocked.

Giving the system a boost by splitting the swap file
When physical RAM is completely consumed, Windows data is temporarily shifted to the hard drive. This can greatly slow down the computer, because the hard disk has to work continuously. If it looks like the RAM is going to get full, it’s advisable to split the swap file onto different, newly defragmented hard drives. Windows can write to several hard drives simultaneously and thus accelerate the data transfer process. However, this makes sense only if you use multiple physical disks and not just partitions, since this will force the disk to write to multiple areas, thereby slowing down access.First determine which of your drives are seperate physically and which are just partitions. For this purpose, go to
- ‘Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Computer management’.
- In the tree view structure on the left side of the window, navigate to Storage | Disk Management You will now see the physically divided data drives on the bottom right with their correspondingpartitions and the allocated logical drives.
- In addition to the system drive ‘C:’, search for the primary partitions of the other physical drives, note their drive letters and then close the Disk Management window. For configuring the swap file, double click on the ‘System’ icon in the Control Panel and switch to the ‘Advanced’ tab—or click on the ‘Advanced System Settings’ link in Vista.
- Click on ‘Settings’ under ‘Performance’. Activate the ‘Advanced’ tab and then under ‘Virtual Memory’, click Change’.
- Disable the ‘System managed size’ option, select the desired drive in the dialog box above, and then select Custom size’ and enter the desired value in the two subsequent fields, for example ‘1024’ megabyte each. Equal values for the minimum and maximum limit define a fixed size, making it impossible for the swap file to fragment the partition. Click ‘Set’.Repeat this procedure for other drives.Confirm the setting with ‘OK’.
- Restart the system for Windows to apply the settings.
Caution: You cannot create swap files on
external hard disks and memory cards.
