WinDOwS ©Tricks + Secrets Files List

Greetings, Fellow WinDOwS User,

EVERYTHING HERE IS ©COPYRIGHTED TO MDGx (AXCEL216), EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFIED OTHERWISE!
YOU MAY NOT USE FOR PROFIT, MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PERMISSION!
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE TO YOUR COMPUTER WHILE TRYING THESE TIPS/FILES!
YOU •MUST READ THIS• for FREEware, Disclaimer, ©Copyrights + Contact Info DETAILS!

IF YOU FOLLOW CAREFULLY ALL INCLUDED GUIDELINES YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE PROBLEMS.
ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST !
W95-11D is huge... 130+ files with 1000+ ©tricks and counting.
Therefore you need to take a break from whatever you were doing, brew a fresh coffee pot, fill up your XL mug [but don't spill it on your keyboard :)], kick back, relax, and only after that, dig in, 1 tip at a time.
All steps must be performed in this exact order for maximum comfort. ;-)
The main goal of these files is to transform your PC into the ultimate, extremely tweaked machine you have always dreamed of by "squeezing" the last atom of performance it is capable of, to make it soar at MAX Speed.
W95-11D is my New/Updated/Revised/Improved collection release 11d [FREEware SOLELY for PROFIT-FREE use] containing tons of Valuable, Original, UNique, UNofficial, UNconventional, UNdocumented, UNcommon, UNknown, UNdiscovered, UNheard of + Hidden PC, Laptop, Modems, AOL, MS Internet Explorer + Netscape/Mozilla Windows 2003, XP, 2000, Millennium Edition (ME), NT 4.0, 98/98 SE, 95B/95C OSR 2.0 - 2.5, 95a OSR1 + 95 retail and MS-DOS 8.00 + 7.xx ©Tricks, Secrets, Tweaks, Tips, Hints, Fixes, Hacks, Guides, Speed-Ups, Tune-Ups, Workarounds, Configs, Setups, News, Info, Specs, References, Upgrades, Patches, Easter Eggs + Links, Logos, Icons + Bitmaps, Registry + Batch files, all dedicated to Speed-Up + MAXimize your computing performance and to help you find possible solutions for your "Wintel" problems [compiled into 1 of the most comprehensive Operating Systems + Computer Hardware tips databases on the Net].

The references in W95-11D apply to ALL these Microsoft Operating Systems (OSes) retail/final/gamma/Gold/RTM/OEM/MSDN releases (NOT alpha/beta/RCx/test/interim/pre-release) + ALL their Service Packs (SPs) + Updates, English editions ONLY:

Windows 2003 Server
Windows eXPerience (XP) Home + Professional
Windows Millennium Edition (ME)

unless specified otherwise.
See this page to determine EXACTLY your Windows 95/98/ME OS version + build!

		These plain text files are growing larger as I keep adding new ©tips. Therefore some will NOT open with Notepad (Windows default text/ASCII editor/viewer), limited to a maximum file size of ONLY 64 KB in Windows NT4/95/98/ME. Bummer! :( Alternatively you could use WordPad.exe (in full screen view), but I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Programmer's File Editor 32-bit (PFE32) for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 freeware Notepad replacement: opens ANY number of ASCII/text/HTML/INI/source files of ANY size limited ONLY by your computer's memory, OLE2/DDE/MDI compliant, highly customizable. HINT: BACKUP your original NOTEPAD.EXE, rename PFE32.EXE to NOTEPAD.EXE, and then move the new NOTEPAD.EXE and PFE.HLP files to your Windows folder, to have ALL your text files open with the NEW Notepad.

MAXIMIZE your text editor/viewer window to FULL screen (or at least 640x480) to avoid using "Word wrap", which improperly splits long command lines, Internet addresses (URLs) and Windows Registry keys.
ALL these plain text/ASCII (.TXT) files are formatted to fit the 640x480 (VGA) screen of 79 characters, also used by EDIT.COM, the default MS-DOS text/ASCII text editor/viewer. I recommend EDIT.COM for displaying ONLY my AUTOEXEC.BAT + CONFIG.SYS files, because the extended ANSI characters I use on my "SET PROMPT=" and "SET WINPMT=" lines are NOT supported by Notepad or ANY other Windows text/ASCII editor/viewer, unless you are using a Notepad replacement that supports ANSI/DOS/OEM fixed pitch fonts.
I am updating/improving these files frequently and adding new ©tricks. Stay tuned and come back often for Updates!
W95-11D does NOT include ANY binary EXEcutables NOR embedded DOCument objects, ONLY plain text (.BAT, .DOS, .INF, .INI, .REG, .TXT, .SYS), graphics (.BMP, .ICO, .SYS) and icon library (.DLL) files. Therefore it does NOT contain ANY viruses, worms or trojans! Nonetheless, I scan my files frequently for all known viruses.
ALL my ZIP archives (.ZIP) are created by "shrinking" my files with 7-Zip 32-bit Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 DOS box command line tool [free GPL], to achieve MAXimum possible compression ratio, otherwise attainable only by ACE/CAB/RAR/UHARC archiving formats.
A MUST for ALL Windows/WfWG 3.1x + DOS 6.xx users: get my dedicated ©Tricks + Secrets archive = W31-11D.ZIP [FREEware].

Some of my Original/Unique ©Tricks + Secrets canNOT be found anywhere else.

W95-11D INSTALL + UNINSTALL

My ©Tricks + Secrets files are available in 2 editions (pick 1):

W95-11D.EXE [1.34 MB, self extracting INSTALL/UNINSTALL executable].
Use this link ONLY IF W95-11D.EXE link above does NOT work = created with Inno Setup Installer 32-bit for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 [freeware].
W95-11D.ZIP [1.56 MB, compressed archive in ZIP format].
Use this link ONLY IF W95-11D.ZIP link above does NOT work = created with 7-Zip 32-bit for Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 DOS box command line tool [free GPL].
W95-11D.ZIP does NOT include INSTALL/UNINSTALL facilities. Therefore you need to extract all files using an unZIPping tool: see "FREE Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 File Shrinkers" for examples.
To uninstall these files, please delete them all manually.

Both W95-11D.EXE + W95-11D.ZIP contain the same 135 files, which need about 6 MB of free disk space after installation/extraction.

If you happen to have ANY OLDER versions of my ©Tricks + Secrets files, please DELETE/UNINSTALL them ALL FIRST as detailed here, and then download THIS NEW/CURRENT W95-11D release into an EMPTY folder/directory.

How to Install W95-11D.EXE

Run W95-11D.EXE from within Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003 to install all files, categorized as follows:

Main Folder [default is C:\Program Files\AXCEL216 = can be changed at will during INSTALL to any other available destination]: 58 Text files [.TXT].
7 Subfolders:
- REGFILES: 37 Windows Registry files [.REG].
- BATFILES: 16 DOS style Batch files [.BAT].

You •MUST READ• "W95-11D Complete Files List" chapter below to learn how to properly use all these files!
NOTES:

W95-11D.EXE also creates the %windir%\Start Menu\Programs\AXCEL216 [Win9x/ME] or %profilesdir%\%username%\Start Menu\Programs\AXCEL216 [WinNT4/2000/XP/2003] folder [optional = can be changed at will or completely disabled], accessed after INSTALL from Start button -> Programs -> AXCEL216, and which contains these 4 shortcuts:
- MUST READ THIS FIRST! = runs MUSTREAD.TXT.
- MDGx Tricks + Secrets Guide = runs READ1ST.TXT.
- MDGx MAX Speed Web Site = runs \MISCFILE\MDGX.HTM.
- Uninstall MDGx Tricks + Secrets = runs \UNINST\UNINS000.EXE.
The ONLY change W95-11D.EXE makes to your files is this Registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AXCEL216
ALL folders, files + Registry entry above created by W95-11D.EXE during INSTALL are completely DELETED by UNINSTALL.

How to Uninstall W95-11D.EXE

Click the Start button -> Programs -> AXCEL216 -> (double)-click "Uninstall MDGx Tricks + Secrets". Or:
Open Control Panel -> (double)-click Add/Remove Programs -> select "© MDGx MAX Speed WinDOwS Tricks + Secrets" -> click the Add/Remove button.

Have fun!

Best wishes,
