Watch YouTube videos on slow connection.


Friends when I was  bought a slow internet connection for the first time. I was new to the internet and when i used to watch videos on YouTube, I used to get irritated as it took more time to buffer than the actual time period of video.

I think this is the most common problem that every slow internet users all are facing. Am I right?

That is why I want to make this problem’s solution public, so that other people can also get benefited from it.


So here we go, just follow the procedure to watch the YouTube videos on a  slow Internet connection..

YouTube is a video-sharing website with millions of videos available on its servers. 

Registered and unregistered users can watch videos on YouTube and most of its videos were uploaded by individuals like us.

Even i love watching videos on YouTube but the greatest challenge I used to face is slow buffering and this usually happens because internet was slow, but just a few days ago I found out a solution to watch YouTube videos with my slow internet connection.

YouTube videos buffering can be speed up using “YouTube feather beta”. This helps to load YouTube video faster in a slow internet connection because it removes the entire information panel.  

Not only that, but also the sidebar related videos list, share button, comment, like and dislike button etc. From all YouTube video pages once it is activated.

To activate YouTube feather beta go to this link www.youtube.com/feather_beta and then click “Join Feather Beta” link to enable YouTube Feather beta on your account.

Yes this is it. You can now happily watch videos without having to wait.

Put a Command-Line Prompt on Your Desktop

Some command line junkies always want the command prompt within easy reach.
So here is the way ...... If you use the command line regularly—for example, to launch Windows Explorer with shortcuts you'd like the command line within easy reach. In fact, you'd like it right on your desktop. XP has no built-in way to do that for you.

               Here is the one Great program called MCL that run as small command line you can put anywhere on your desktop as shown in this figure.
To download : CLICK HERE



Now you would use the normal command line, including any normal switches that you use to launch programs.But MCL does more than just let you enter commands. It includes a number of other goodies that the XP command prompt doesn't, including these:
  • It keeps a history of your last 100 commands, so you can easily reenter or edit any commands you've already typed.
  • It includes an AutoComplete function that finishes your commands for you.
  • It lets you launch URLs directly from the command line. If you type a URL, your default browser will open to that URL.
  • It can be minimized to the System Notification area.
  • It can be launched with a hot key. The default is Ctrl-Alt-M.
The program has a few eccentricities you'll have to keep in mind when using it. When executing a DOS command, you have to use the % prefix. For example, to copy a file from C:\Favorite Files to C:\Summer, you'd use this command:
%copy C:\Favorite Files\Gabecamp.doc C:\Summer\Gabecamp.doc
To open to a specific directory in Windows Explorer, precede the command with a $. So to open to C:\Program Files, you'd issue the command $C:\Program Files.
Command-line fans will also want to get a copy of 4NT (http://www.jpsoft.com). Run it instead of the normal command prompt and get countless new features, such as a command-line editor for modifying and reexecuting previous commands; the ability to copy, delete, and rename groups of files and directories with a single command; a built-in file viewer; the ability to select or include files by a variety of criteria, including date, time, and size; the ability to append descriptions (up to 511 characters) to files; and an exceedingly powerful batch language. It's shareware and free to try, but if you continue to use it, you're expected to pay $69.95.

NTLDR missing for Xp user.


NTLDR is missing
Press CTRL + ALTR + DEL to restart


Sometime we shows this error of NTLDR file missing.
So need to worry for this error here I can show you the method to solve this

The following are some basic steps ...

  1. Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
  2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
  3. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
  4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
  5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
  6. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard drive. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.

    copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
    copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
  7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

Customize Multiboot Startup Options


Edit or create a startup menu that lets you choose which operating system to boot into in multiboot systems, or create a menu that lets you choose different startup options for your single operating system if you have only XP installed.

If you've installed another operating system (in addition to XP) on your system, your PC starts up with a multiboot menu, which allows you to choose which operating system you want to run. The menu stays live for 30 seconds, and a screen countdown tells you how long you have to make a choice from the menu. After the 30 seconds elapse, it boots into your default operating system, which is generally the last operating system you installed.
You can customize that multiboot menu and how your PC starts by editing the boot.ini file, a hidden system file, to control a variety of startup options, including how long to display the menu, which operating system should be the default, whether to use the XP splash screen when XP starts, and similar features. And as you'll see later in this hack, you can also use the file to create a startup menu that will allow you to choose from different versions of your operating system
—for example, one that you'll use for tracking down startup problems, and another for starting in Safe Mode.
The boot.ini file is a plain text file found in your root C:\ folder. You might not be able to see it, because it's a system file, and if you can see it, you might not be able to edit it, because it's a read-only file. To make it visible, launch Windows Explorer, choose View Tools Folder Options View and select the radio button "Show Hidden Files and Folders." To make it a file you can edit, right-click on it in Windows Explorer, choose Properties, uncheck the Read-Only box, and click OK

Editing Files :

To edit the file, open it with a text editor such as Notepad. Following is a typical boot.ini file for a PC that has two operating systems installed on it—Windows XP Home Edition and Windows Me:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home 
Edition" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Professional" /
fastdetect
As you can see, there are two sections in the file: [boot loader] and [operating systems]. To customize your menu and startup options, edit the entries in each section. Before editing boot.ini, make a copy of it and save it under a different name (such as boot.ini.old), so that you can revert to it if you cause problems when you edit the file. Following are details about how to edit the entries in each section:
[boot loader]
This section controls how the boot process works; it specifies the default operating system and how long a user has to make a selection from a boot menu, if a boot menu has been enabled. The timeout value specifies, in seconds, how long to display the menu and wait for a selection before loading the default operating system. If you want a delay of 15 seconds,
for example, enter 15for the value. Use a value of 0 if you want the default operating system to boot immediately. If you want the menu to be displayed indefinitely and stay onscreen until a selection is made, use a value of -1. The default value specifies which entry in the [operating system] section is the default operating system. (The default value is used even if there is only one operating system in the [operating system] section.) To change the default operating system, edit the setting, in our example,to default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT.
So, in our example, if you change the menu settings so that the screen appears for 10 seconds before loading the default operating system, and the default operating system is Windows 2000 Professional, the section reads:
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating system]
This section specifies which operating systems are present on the computer, and detailed options for each one. XP uses the Advanced RISC Computing (ARC) path to specify the location of the boot partition. In our example, the ARC path is:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
The first parameter, which identifies the disk controller, should be 0. The second parameter, the disk parameter, should also be 0. The rdisk parameter specifies the disk number on the controller that has the boot partition. The numbers start at 0. So, if you have three hard disks installed and the second hard disk has the boot partition, the setting is rdisk(1). The partition parameter identifies the partition number of the boot partition. Partitions start with the number 1. The final section, which in our example is \WINDOWS, specifies the path to the folder where the operating system is installed. To the right of the ARC path in the example is ="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect. The words within quotes are what will appear on the boot menu next to the entry. To customize the text on the menu you can change these words to whatever you wish—for example, "My Favorite Operating System." The /fastdetect switch disables the detection of serial and parallel devices, which allows for faster booting. The detection of these devices isn't normally required in XP, because the functions are performed by plug-and-play drivers, so as a general rule it's a good idea to use the /fastdetect switch. The /fastdetect switch is only one of many switches that can be used in the boot.ini file to customize how the operating system loads.
When you've finished editing the boot.ini file, save it. The next time you start your computer, its settings will go into effect.        In our example, if we want the menu to appear for 45 seconds, the default operating system to be Windows 2000, and the XP splash screen to be turned off when we choose to load XP, the boot.ini file should look like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=45
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home 
Edition" /fastdetect /noguiboot
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Professional" /
fastdetect
