 NOTE: 
It says : Not Configured 
Reality : The Explain Tab says "By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection" 

 ** So, on Setting Tab select Enabled **
 Now, change Bandwidth limit (%) to 0 (Zero)  

 NOTE: 

Misconcept: This don't means that you won't be able to communicate with Microsoft or any its services !!! 

Actually: This reserved Bandwidth is only to accelerate Microsoft internet connections more than other connections !!! So you can actually make good use of it, instead of letting it rot like a bank deposit.

Sometimes we are eager to hide some files on the system !!!
 (I won't ask Why ???)  Its a simple trick

files.rar = rar file

new.jpg = the newly created file

How to make a batch file?

Before we explain the ways of making a batch file, we will give a brief introduction to batch file. 
<Skip this if you know already>

So what is a batch file?

A executable file that can perform DOS commands is called a batch file.

In Ms.DOS, there are a set of commands used to perform various tasks. If you open Ms.DOS and type the commands directly there, it is called an internal command. 
Making and using a batch file is called using external commands, because the user does not need to actively enter the commands. A set of predefined commands will be automatically executed by the batch file.

How to make a batch file?

If you already know how to use Ms.DOS commands, you can simply open "notepad.exe" from run and type the commands line by line. Here's an example.

• Open "notepad.exe" from run or start menu.
• Type this inside:

@echo off
title Example of batch file
echo Hello World
echo.
pause
exit

• Save it as sth.bat somewhere. 
• Go to the place where you saved it. 
• Open the file by double clicking it.
• It will display "Hello World" and ask you to press any key to  continue.
• Once you press a key, it will exit.

This was a very basic DOS batch file. If you are proficient enough, batch files can be very lethal too. They can be easily used for pranking, making viruses, or even a very interesting program.

Here's an example. You should try it. Download here! Click me!

Create a Virtual Drive in Windows

This is a simple trick to create virtual drive in windows.

By using this trick, you can access your favorite folder as a drive in your computer. This trick make use of Ms.DOS in your computer.

If you are using XP/Vista or any other OS before Windows7:

• Goto Start button
• Click on Run
• Type "cmd.exe" without quotes & press enter
• Then on the black cmd.exe screen, type : 

subst A: E:\folder & hit enter

where,
 subst = command in DOS fro substitution
A: = is your desired drive. You can choose any drive that is not allocated.
E:\folder = is the path of your folder that you want to change as drive.

• type "exit" to exit from Ms.DOS

Congratulations, you have successfully created a new drive. This drive is basically a shortcut, but the computer will treat it as any other drive. It is actually a virtual drive.

Uses?

• If you have tried to install any old programs like QBASIC , C++ etc, you will notice that they require [A:] which is floppy drive. If you do not have floppy drive, you can mount the files in A: drive using this method.
• You can fool your friends too, because the v.drive actually shows the space of your whole drive from where it is mounted. If it is mounted from a drive having 100GB space, the virtual drive will also show another 100GB. This is not REAL space. But your friend will never know.

How to delete a virtual drive?

• Usually it deletes itself on restart. You can prevent this by making a batch file & keeping it in startup folder.
• Manually, you can delete it by opening cmd.exe like before, and typing:

subst A: /d 

where,
subst = command
A: = The drive that you created.
/d = delete attribute.
