How to set up Internet Connection Sharing (Windows XP Computers)
Before you begin:
* The 'Host' computer is the system that will be connecting to the Internet; 'Client' refers to any computer that is sharing the Internet connection, and is connecting to the Host computer.
* You may need to disable or configure any firewall(s) to ensure that they are not interfering with your Network.
* This Tutorial assumes that your Networks Physical Setup is already in place and fully operational.
* You should be aware that for every concurrent Internet Connection, your Internet Speed will be markedly decreased -- therefore if you are using 56k Dial-up, your Internet will become very slow with too many Client computers connected.
First, ensure that your LAN is setup properly for ICS:
On the HOST PC, please run the Network Setup Wizard:
* Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> CommunicationsNetwork Setup Wizard. -->
* The first thing to do when the wizard appears is read the welcome message, and then click Next.
* Read the 'Before you continue....' message, and then click Next.
* Select the option This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my network connect through this computer, and then press Next.
* Now, type in a Description for your computer; ie: Host Computer.
* Enter a Computer Name (or leave it as it's Default), and then press Next.
* Enter a Workgroup Name -- or leave it as it's default, and then press Next.
* If you want to share files and/or your printer with other computers on the network, select the option Turn on file and printer sharing and press Next.
* Check the information; if it is all fine, press Next.
On the CLIENT PC(s), please run the Network Setup Wizard:
* Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> CommunicationsNetwork Setup Wizard. -->
* The first thing to do when the wizard appears is read the welcome message, and then click Next.
* Read the 'Before you continue....' message, and then click Next.
* Select the option This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway or another computer on my network, and then press Next.
* Now, type in a Description for your computer; ie: Client1 Computer.
* Enter a Computer Name (or leave it as it's Default), and then press Next.
* Enter the same Workgroup Name that you used on the HOST Next. computer, and then press
* If you want to share files and/or your printer with other computers on the network, select the option Turn on file and printer sharing and press Next.
* Check the information; if it is all fine, press Next.
* Now, if possible, you should Create a Network Setup Disk -- once you have created a Network Setup Disk, insert it into any other computer on your network that you intend to use as a Client and run it; follow all prompts. If you cannot create a Network Setup Disk, then repeat the above steps on all Client PC's, however ensure that you give each Client computer a unique name; ie: Client1, Client2, Client3 etc..
Your LAN should now be configured properly; it is now time to setup ICS.
On the HOST PC, please do the following:
* Open the Network Connections window (Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections).Internet Connection Here, you should have at least two connections listed: one for your , and one for the Ethernet adapter connected to your Local Area Network (LAN).
Right-click the connection icon corresponding to your Internet Connection and select Properties.
* Choose the Advanced tab, and turn on the Allow other network users to connect through this computers Internet connection option when you're done. option. Click OK
* Verify that Internet Connection Sharing is enabled; it should say Enabled, Shared in the Network Connections window.
* You should now be able to access the Internet by connecting the Host computer to your Service Provider -- Client computers do not need to connect; simply open up Internet Explorer and you should be able to browse. If you are unable to connect to Internet Explorer on the Client computers, ensure that the Host computer has an active connection to the Internet.

Here are some reasons why CCleaner is the best choice...
Freeware
CCleaner is 100% Free! No Spyware, No Adware, No Viruses. Certified by Softpedia
Check out the prices of other Disk Cleaners. Prices range from $4.99-$49.99.
CCleaner cleans much more
Most Disk Cleaners (Shareware) will just scan your C: drive for certain file extensions (common file types, temp., logs, memory dumps, and backup files).
CCleaner cleans them plus applications, 150+ applications...
CCleaner is careful about not removing important files. It cleans useless junk, not files that could "possibly" effect Windows or other applications.
CCleaner's cleaning speed is just remarkable compared to other Disk Cleaners.
The ability to add new/more programs to CCleaner with no programming knowledge, just basic Windows knowledge will do.
Size
CCleaner is barely over 1 MegaByte... Most range from 1.5MB-4MB
Look
Doesn't have any ads, splash screen, or fancy graphics that aren't nesscary for the program.
Safety
CCleaner was designed from the ground to be safe and secure to use. It has multiple levels of checks in place to ensure that it cannot delete any useful information or documents you may still need. We also certify that it contains no Spyware or Adware.
Portability
CCleaner can run from a USB thumbdrive and be installed/run on a computer without a complicated setup process.
High Security
For the super cautious users we also offer secure file erasing. By overwriting the files before deleting them, making it impossible to recover the data.
Multiple Languages
Thanks to the translators, CCleaner is available in 35 different languages.
Registry
CCleaner even has a built-in Registry Cleaner. It's not the best (not CCleaner's main function), but it will find invaild registry entries that most Registry Cleaners will not. Unlike the Disk Cleaners with a Registry Cleaner, CCleaner does really fast scanning for Registry Issues. The reason is CCleaner doesn't want to effect Windows performance or effect any applications. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Updated
CCleaner is updated regularly with new features, fixes, new applications, and so on.
With winapp2.ini, you can update CCleaner with new applications almost daily!
Support
Support is outstanding for CCleaner. There are a bunch of very smart and talented people in the Forums, if they can't fix your CCleaner (or anything else for that matter) problems, the developer of the program will try to help you out.
Kiss YouTube is a new site in the crowded niche of YouTube download service, which sets itself apart by making it as simply as humanly possible to download YouTube videos to your computer. After watching a YouTube video and deciding you want to keep it, go up to your browser’s address bar and type “kiss” after “www.” and right before “youtube.com”. Hit enter, and you’ll be able to download the video.
Quote:
“While you are watching a video clip on the youtube website, just add the word “kiss” to the video URL in your browser address bar and hit enter. The video is ready to be saved on your computer in FLV format.
“For instance, if the Youtube URI is something like youtube.com/watch?v=ls1954aa, you can download the clip by adding the word “kiss” in front of the youtube.com domain name. Hence the final address becomes kissyoutube.com/watch?v=ls1954aa which will have the link to save that clip.”
There are times when for some unknown reasons, the registry entries or system files get corrupted.
Here is one method of restoring those files using a program called 'webfldrs.msi' without reinstalling the whole of Windows. The program is located right there on your PC and can be run from c:\windows\system32\webfldrs.msi
If it's not on your system, you can download it from here;-
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/297062455/webfldrs.rar
Here is the procedure;-
- Insert your Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM
- Run webfldrs.msi
You will see the following dialogs. Just follow the instructions.
Steps:
1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )
2- inside this folder make a ( TXT ) file & copy inside it this (the entire thing)
Code:

Quote: cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End
3- After u copy the Commanding go to line 23 (or try using shortcut- CTRL+F and type password to locate the line) u will find this word : password here (Change it with any password u like.) is :
eg: if NOT %pass%== narnia1234 goto FAIL
//so ur password here becomes narnia1234 .//
4- After that go to ‘save as’ & name this file as "locker.bat "
5- Now back to the folder & u will find a ( LOCKER ) commanding.
(locker.exe)
6- Double Click on it & u will find a new folder (Private )
7- Ok ,, now copy what u want in this "private Folder" & after that come out of the folder, and Double click on locker again. It will open and ask if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?
8- Type Y. your private folder will dissapear.
9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.
it not only hides the fodler, but incase, u unhide all files... and try opening it without entering password, it'l take u to the control panel...
Also, if u want to store files on your Pen-Drive, u can use this script. No Software Required
Incase u delete your Locker file (just in case), then u can make a new one (but with the same password) and open it from that.
Alternatively, u can keep this locker file somewhere else, and when u want to open ur folder, only then bring it back to that place ..
