Windows Registry .

Windows Registry has been one of the most fascinating part of an Operating System. Each Operating system has its own way of storing important data related to User accounts, System Configuration and information related to the Software’s installed. In the earlier times when DOS was one of the main Operating system, it used to store its important data in file named CONFIG.SYS.

With the beginning of the Windows era, a stronger method was required to store the System related Data. Windows had a configuration file named SYSTEM.INI (initialization files) and WIN.INI and mostly every application had its own INI file.

The drawback of INI files was that they had a limited file size of 64KB only and each program could have only one INI file, making it a lot difficult to store settings for different users and hence Microsoft introduced Windows Registry in Windows 95 and since then Windows have always had its backbone, it Registry. Here I’ve described the basics of the Windows registry.

Speed Up Your Dialup Connection

Hey friends the 3rd Generation have already been launched but there quiet many people who are still on Dial-Up connection .You can’t assume that just because you connected at a speed like 48.3KBps that you will stay there. Today’s modems automatically fall back to a lower speed if the line noise is too high to maintain a faster connection, but sometimes they fall back too soon or too far.

Programming A Batch File

Batch files are really important when it comes to execute a set of DOS commands every time. Basically batch file programming is nothing but the Windows version of Unix Shell Programming. In the article we’ll try to learn the basics of the batch file coding.
The Basic:
Batch file is basically a executable file which executes the definite set of commands in one go. It is important "not to name a batch file after the name of any DOS command" as if done so, the batch file will not execute.

Creating a Batch File:
To create a batch file you do not need any separate kind of editor, Batch file can be created by two methods :-
1)Notepad
2)DOS - Open command prompt and type EDIT(2k/XP) a blue window will open very similar to Notepad.
