Have you noticed a problem if you try to download more than two files at once from the internet? The default number of simultaneous downloads from a web server is only 2. By tweaking the registry you can increase the number to 10.It is very useful for download freaks like me.
Instructions for Increasing the Number of Simultaneous Downloads
Launch Regedit Navigate to this key:
1.HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
2.Create a new DWORD called MaxConnectionsPerServer
3.Set the value for DWORD = 000000a
4.Create another new DWORD called MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
5.Also set the value of this DWORD = 0000000a
2.Create a new DWORD called MaxConnectionsPerServer
3.Set the value for DWORD = 000000a
4.Create another new DWORD called MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
5.Also set the value of this DWORD = 0000000a
Note 1: Check Internet Settings (Not Internet Explorer)
Note 2: Hex 0000000a = Decimal 10
Note 2: Hex 0000000a = Decimal 10
1.Do you find the MaxConnectionsPerServervalue in HKCU** or HKLM?
Answer: HKCU
2.Should you add a value, or modify an existing setting?
Answer: Create a new dword set the value = 0000000a
3.Is MaxConnectionsPerServer a String Value or a DWORD?
Answer: DWORD.
4.Do you need to Restart, or merely Log Off / On?
Answer: As it's a HKCU, just logoff and logon.
Tip:
Add this Value, MaxConnectionsPerServer to Regedit's Favorites menu
This maximum number of connections applies to any connection to a web server, not just to downloads.
This limit of two connections is set by the HTTP 1.1 specification (RFC2068) rather than Microsoft.

If you want to disable the ability to use the F3 key from either the Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer
1.Start Regedit
2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
3.Create a Dword value called NoFindFiles
4.Give it a value of 1
5.Reboot
Though I would not suggest you doing this...
I posted it because it is long time since i posted on registry hacking....
And to show that you can explore the registry to find more hacks....

Lets say you have about 4-5 very useful applications which you use always.
By placing them all on the first level menu will eventually crowd your start menu. Now why not utilize the right-click option instead? The right-click option gives you the ability to Open, Explore and Find. If you can add a shortcut to your application to that menu, it would be great.
To do this, crank up your registry editor and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell. Right-click on Shell and create a new key. Type in an appropriate name for the key. On the right pane, double-click on the Default value, and add a title with a & character in front of the letter as an accelerator key. Right-click on the key you just created and create another key under it called command . For the Default value of command, enter the full path and program you want to execute in the Value data box.
For example, if you wanted Notepad, you would add that as the first key, the default in the right panel would be &Notepad so when you right click on the Start Button, the N would be underlined and you could just press that key. The command would be something like C:\Windows\notepad.exe. Now when you right click on the Start Button, your new program will show up.
Already existing shortcuts are
Windows key = Displays taskbar and Start menu
Windows key + D = Moves to desktop
Windows key + D = Moves to desktop
Windows key + E = Starts Windows Explorer
Windows key + F = Finds files or folders
Windows key + CTRL + F = Finds a computer
Windows key+L =Locks the screen.
Windows key + M = Minimizes all windows
Windows key + Shift + M = Undoes minimize all windows
Windows key + R = Displays the Run dialog box
Windows key + Tab = Cycles through the taskbar buttons
Windows key + Break = Displays the System Properties sheet
I have already posted on renaming the recycle bin.
Here I have posted on adding more features to the recycle bin!!
The Recycle Bin is a funny thing - it has a lot of limitations compared to other normal icon. But I discovered that you can do all sorts of weird things with the context menu. This tip will only show you how to fool around with the context menu of the icon and and appearance of the icon. What you can do with it I am not so sure...
Open up the registry editor and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder.
Add Rename to the menu, change Attributes to 50 01 00 20
Add Delete to the menu, change Attributes to 60 01 00 20
Add both Renamme & Delete to the menu, change Attributes to 70,01,00,20
Restore the Recycle Bin to Windows defaults including un-deleting the icon after deletion, go to
To Restore the icon, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and add a key named Recycle Bin
To reset Windows defaults, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder and change Attributes to 40 01 00 20
And some more practically useless edits to the context menu go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder
Add Copy to the menu, change Attributes to 41 01 00 20
Add Cut to the menu, change Attributes to 42 01 00 20
Add Copy & Cut to the menu, change Attributes to 43 01 00 20
Add Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 44 01 00 20
Add Copy & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 45 01 00 20
Add Cut & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 46 01 00 20
Add all Cut, Copy & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 47 01 00 20
Add both Renamme & Delete to the menu, change Attributes to 70,01,00,20
Restore the Recycle Bin to Windows defaults including un-deleting the icon after deletion, go to
To Restore the icon, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} and add a key named Recycle Bin
To reset Windows defaults, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder and change Attributes to 40 01 00 20
And some more practically useless edits to the context menu go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder
Add Copy to the menu, change Attributes to 41 01 00 20
Add Cut to the menu, change Attributes to 42 01 00 20
Add Copy & Cut to the menu, change Attributes to 43 01 00 20
Add Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 44 01 00 20
Add Copy & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 45 01 00 20
Add Cut & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 46 01 00 20
Add all Cut, Copy & Paste to the menu, change Attributes to 47 01 00 20
The above edits are more to the fun side than useful but the Rename & Delete can be quite useful sometimes. You don't have to worry about deleting it since you can always call it back.

Right from the day I started using computer.One thing had struck me.
Why can't I delete or rename a recycle bin?
The thought occured when i deleted all icons in my desktop except the recycle bin.
This was some years back.
Then I didn't bother about it.And forgot about this.
And one day I attended a seminar.
There the person who conducted the seminar asked me this.
Immediately i googled it.
And got the solution..............
How to rename the Microsoft Windows Recycle Bin?
Here is the answer
1.Click Start / Run
2.Type regedit and press enter.
3.Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
4.Open the CLSID folder
5.Open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
6.Open the ShellFolder folder
7.Change the "Attributes" data value from "40 01 00 20" to "50 01 00 20". Once completed change the "CallForAttributes" dword value to "0x00000000" (double-click and change value data to 0). You must change both of these values to get the rename to appear.
After performing the above steps you will be able to rename the icon like any other icon.
Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and click Rename and rename it to whatever you wish.
Are you tired of seeing MSN Messenger pop up on your Windows XP system?
As usual, in an effort to continue its course towards domination of everything, Microsoft has made it difficult to remove. But it is possible! The following method works in Windows XP Professional, but has not been tested on a system with SP1 installed. FYI, I've seen scripts that are similar to this, but fail miserably, automatically deleting other much-needed components! Better to do this slow and manually! As always, I am not responsible for the use or the misuse of this information; use at your own risk.
Exit MSN Messenger by right-clicking the MSN icon in the notification area, and selecting Exit. Add the following registry entries, both with a DWORD value of 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client\PreventRun HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client\PreventAutoRun
1.Open a command prompt by clicking Start/Run, then typing "command" and clicking OK.
2.Uninstall MSN Messenger by typing "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemRoot%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"
3.Uninstall the leftover installation information file by typing "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection BLC.Remove 128 %systemRoot%\INF\msmsgs.inf"
4.Allow MSN Messenger to be displayed in the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog in the future (if it pops up again!) by typing "notepad.exe %systemRoot%\INF\sysoc.inf" and deleting the word "hide" from the line that starts with "msmsgs=". It MAY be possible to skip to this step directly and perform the uninstallation directly from the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog, but that method MAY leave unwanted components and has not been thoroughly tested.
5.Reboot!
Have you ever dreamt of opening more than one yahoo messenger?
