Open and Close Folders Faster
November 13th, 2007You can reduce the time it takes to expand and contract your Windows folders by clicking on your folders’ plus (+) and minus (-) buttons by opening and closing your Windows folders with a single keystroke.
You can use this tip for any application that is based on the Windows Explorer or other explorer interface.
Start by highlighting the parent folder you need to expand and select the asterisk (*) key; you’ll notice that all the subfolders will expand out. Pressing the minus (-) key will contract all the subfolders.

To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer’s memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.
This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.
Follow these steps:
Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
Expand the system.ini file window.
Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type
Irq14=4096
Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!
Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.
Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
Update: The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives, however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks. In any case, it won’t harm your system, so why not try it yourself.

This is one of the best tips I’ve run across. I have two external hard drives… now it’s so easy to expand and collapse the files….. Thank you….
