The Dreaded Missing File Syndrome
After rebooting into windows XP professional, if an error: "C:\windows\system32\config\system file not fond." Is encountered, windows then stops loading. How can then the OS be repaired?
Is there any way one could allow a guest to write CDs from their account?
The file 'system' that resides in the 'config' directory of windows XP's 'system32' directory is part of thr Registry. If this file is corrupt. Windows will naturally have problems booting. But you can attempt to repair this error:
Insert the windows XP installation CD and boot through it.
When prompted with the "R=repair" option. Press[R]
Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of windows you want to repair. Typically this will be number 1 if windows is installed on the C drive
Enter the administrator password when prompted.
Type in the following commands at the command prompt:
cd\windows\system32\config ren system\system.badcopy\windows\repair\system
Eject the CD ROM and type in 'exit'
Restart your computer, you should be able to boot into windows XP properly.
Now for query: a user logging on using a Guest account can only view files but cannot modify files in Windows XP. They also will not be able to write CDs.

Increasing Network Browsing Speed
Does your computer slow down when you browse your local area network and connect to other computers that are sharing data? One of the most common causes of this slowdown is a feature of Windows Explorer that looks for scheduled tasks on remote computers. This effort can take some time on some computers and can really slow down your browsing. The window with which you are browsing the network may appear to freeze momentarily, as the system is waiting for a response from the remote computer.
Although this problem is a complex one, the solution is very simple. Instead of having to wait for the remote scheduled tasks, which is useless information to anyone who is not a system administrator remotely configuring scheduled tasks, you can disable this feature.
In order to do this, you will have to hack the System Registry and delete a reference to a key so that this feature will not be loaded. Navigate through the foloowing Path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>CurrentVersion>Explorer>RemoteComputer key>NameSpace key
Next, you will want to modify the remote computer settings, so expand the RemoteComputer key and then expand the NameSpace key to show all of the features that are enabled when you browse to a remote computer.
In the NameSpace folder you will find two entries. One is "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}" which tells Explorer to show printers shared on the remote machine. The other,
Tip:
If you have no use for viewing remote shared printers and are really only interested in shared files, consider deleting the printers key, "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}", as well. This will also boost your browsing speed.
Once you have deleted the key, you just need to restart and the changes will be in effect. Now your network computer browsing will be without needless delays.
