Change The Start Menu Speed through Registry hack:Xp Tips

You might want to change the delay you notice when you click the Start menu. The default  speed can be adjusted with a quick Registry hack.
Go to the Registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay.
The default value is 400. Set it to 0 to remove the delay completely, but if you do that, it will be nearly
impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate ‘All Programs’ if you mouse over it while going to
your selection. Pick a number that suits you, make the change, and test it until you find a good compromise
between speed and usability

Simple way to create your own little windows installer using winrar SFX

Creating self-extracting archives gives you the option to create your own little installer which uncompress an entire program to a set location. You can also choose to execute a program before or after the decompression process. Start by clicking on the folder you want to install, and click Add Files to archive. Check the “Create SFX archive” box. Click on the Advanced tab and then on “SFX options”. Here you can enter the path you want the installer to unzip the files to, and whether you want the folder created in Program files or some other folder. You’ll find many other options here to customise the installer, such as adding shortcuts or licensing information.

How to create a unique icon for Each drive on Windows XP computer, and run a certain program when double-clicks on them in My Computer.

We can display unique  icon  for each drive in My Computer by creating  an Autorun.inf in the root of the
drive. This is exactly the same as in the case of the autorun feature of a CD or DVD.Autorun.inf is an instruction file associated with the Autorun function. A simple autorun.inf file looks like so: [autorun]
open=autorun.exe
icon=autorun.ico
Here, autorun.exe is the executable file that is launched when the CD is inserted, and autorun.ico is the icon file that gives the CD its icon. In case of a disk partition, this file executes when you double-click the drive icon
in My Computer. Sometimes an executable file or a DLL that might contain an icon is also used instead of an icon file.
You can also try a freeware Autorun file editor such as the one from http://autorun.moonvalley.
com if you wish to play around with autorun files.
