This Bluetooth trick is an old one but just publishing for people who still don't know.

Most of you people are searching for software for your Bluetooth Dongles or Bluetooth devices over Internet. Don't worry there is a hidden blue tooth software in Windows XP and Vista.




Follow the below mentioned method for this Blue tooth trick .

1. Open the run command.

2. Now type fsquirt without quotes. This will open a window with text Welcome to Bluetooth File Transfer

3. Now just select whether you want to send or receive any file and you are done. Wizard.

If you are not among the people native to the blue regions of the following map, and are reading this, you are more likely to know English as a second language.

Still, if you are among the majority of internet users, most likely your language of computer usage is exclusively English. Do you know if Windows supports your language or not? By the time you finish reading this post, you will, and the answer is more likely to be “yes”. Take a look at the partial list of supported languages in the screenshot below. What’s more, you can keep the default language English, enable writing in another language, or two, and switch seamlessly between them. You can write your emails, blogs, or fill up blog comments or web forms effortlessly in either or both languages. Here is a self-explanatory screenshot, followed by an easy tutorial.



Here’s the quick tutorial:

Step 1: Go to Control Panel.
Step 2: Click “Regional and Language Options”.
Step 3: Choose the “Languages” tab.
Step 4: If the input language you want to add is East Asian, Indic or among other complex scripts, etc. check the relevant box under “Supplemental Language Support”. For Indic languages check the first box. Click “Apply”. You may be prompted to insert Windows installation CD, and may have to reboot your PC. After rebooting, start from step 1.
Step 5: Click on “Details” under “Text services and input languages”.
Step 6: Under “Installed services” click “Add”.
Step 7: Choose the desired language from the drop down menu, and keep clicking “OK” to close open dialog boxes.

Now, this is how the language bar on your Windows status bar should look like.

Just choose the input language and start typing. Default keyboard shortcut to switch between the input methods is Alt+Shift. You can change this by returning to the above dialog boxes. If you have questions, ask in the comments section.

The user which is been created under limited account type in windows XP, can change the IP-Address, net mask, Gateway, DNS server.

You may simply set the user you want to allow to change IP settings as a member of the local 'Network Configuration Operators' group.

It works like a charm! (Do not forget to ask the user to log off / log on to take it in account.)

To do this:

Control panel > Administrative tools > Computer Managment > Local Users and Groups > Groups > Network Configuration Operators > (right click) Add to Group

This tutorial details how one can take a limited account in Windows XP and change it into an account that has some privileges to install applications, but not full rights to the whole machine. This account type is called the Power User type. The screen shots for this tutorial have been submitted as a tool called Power User Screen Shots.

1. First go to start->admin tools->manage computer (See Fig. 1)
2. Under System Tools go to Local Users and Groups (See Fig. 2)
3. Next open the groups directory
4. Double Click on Power Users and it will bring up the Power Users Properties (See Fig. 3)
5. Click on the Add button
6. In the text box type the user name you want to give power user status and then click the Check Names Button to make sure the user name exists. (See Fig. 4) Or hit the Find Now button and it will locate all the groups and user accounts on the machine. (See Fig. 5)
7. Click ok and you should see the user name that you just added to the Power Users Group

Now just log out and log in as that user account and you should have Power User status. You should be able to run almost anything and be able to even install some programs unless they require the administrator, and if it does it should pop open a box for you type the administrator password to run the install, similar to su - in *nix.

Again I have submitted the screen shots in a separate file and posted as a tool named Power User screen shots.

Good luck with creating Power Users and if you have any questions just let me know and I will try to answer them for you.

To remove Windows Search version 4 from XP, try the following steps:

1. Start by running up Add & Remove Programs from the control panel and look for Windows Desktop Search in the list. Unlike with version 3, Windows Search v4 should be there.
   
   
   
2. If not, open a cmd window (click on Start, then “Run..” and type cmd in the Run dialogue that then appears). Then copy and paste the following line into the cmd window:

   %systemroot%\$NtUninstallKB940157$\spuninst\spuninst.ex
