This is in no way an ‘ultimate’ resource to computertweaking. It is just the drop an ocean. This guide is nothingbut an honest effort to assimilating knowledge on how amachine can be tamed. More can be obtained by searchingthe World Wide Web using ‘Google’ ‘MSN’ ‘DogPile’‘Yahoo!’ and other search engines.

I do not claim any rights on the contents discussed here.Many people- hackers, crackers, administrators, computergeeks, teaching faculty, user groups- have contributed theirwisdom and they wanted it to be shared and discussed. I havejust ‘compiled’ the data into a single file that people can useit as an all purpose computer guide.

I have personally tried and tested most of the tweaksdiscussed in this guide. However, I request fellow readers tobe cautious while trying it out with your system. Alwaystake a backup copy of all important data/registry beforeattempting to change the system/registry settings.Remember, prevention is always better than cure.

Last but not the least- Learn, Share & Grow. Add yourknowledge to what I have and share it unconditionally withthe people who are looking for it.
