TOPIC: Trouble Free Windows - Questions

Lately napapansin ko dami naging problema ng mga pc dito sa shop ko, Ung iba nasira ung Hard Disk at VC, ung iba naman nagka virus ng kung ano ano at naging dahilan ng start up error, ung iba naman bumagal ng di ko alam kung bakit.. Tapos ung ibang naglalaro ng SF gumagamit ng WALLhack, nacocorrupt ung Game Guard. Naisip ko na gumamit na ng DF, at mag lagay na ng timer.. Meron lang ako tanong kasi basic pa lang alam ko sa computers..


Before doing anything, unplug your LAN cable!!!

1. Install Windows, setting up your 2nd partition larger than the Priimary. (most of your programs will be installed on the 2nd) *Basic formatting lang po alam ko, pano po mag partition? Pano gagawin mas malaki ung isa?
2. After setting up Windows, make sure all shared folders are disabled or read only. *Pano po yung step na to?
3. Disable Autoplay. How to do this...
4. Right click Start, select Properties, select CLassic Menu, Apply
5. On the taskbar tab, uncheck "Group similary icons", check "show quicklaunch"
6. Open My Computer, click Tools, click View tab, check show hidden files and uncheck the two hide options below it. Apply.
7. Right click My Computer, select Properties. Click the Advanced tab. under the Performance section, click Settings. In the Visual effects tab, check Adjust for Best Performance. Leave a check on "Use drop shadows..." (in case you want to use wall papers, and you don't want to have a nasty blue backgound for your icon labels). Apply
8. On the same page, change your virtual memory to a definite value (depending on physical memory and hdd free space, i personally set mine either to 1000 or 2000mb)
9. Install motherboard drivers
10. Install your applications that's constantly needing patches like games, antivirus (disable autoscan schedules), even your timer on the 2nd partition. Office apps may be installed on the C drive.
11. Update all applications and games
12. Now you can disable Windows autoupdate, and all notifications. disable firewall too for trouble free gaming. (all in the the control panel security)
13. Create a My Documents folder in the 2nd partition. change the path of your My Document folder on the desktop to this folder.
14. Change the autosave features paths of your office apps to the D:/My Documents folder.
15. Plug in your LAN cable. Setup your network, test it. Activate Windows (don't bother registering again).
16. Disable java updates through msconfig startup. it can be irritating. update only when truly necessary. (anyone knows how to install this on D drive?)
17. Lock your system files by using Steadystate, Deepfreeze, Returnil, or other softwares.
Now that your Windows is safe from any changes, when infected, a simple restart will get rid of any running virus in your system. any virus residing in your unprotected partition can easily be deleted manually, or be scanned by your antivirus after rebooting.

pwede mag print kahit na walang shared folders sa network... basta naka enable file and printer sharing... basta share mo lng ung folder as read only lng at wag mo allow na mamodify ng network users files mo...

sa akin po dito sa server gumawa ako ng shared folder para sa mga documents like ms word, excel, etc..
sa client desktop naman gumawa ako ng shortcut ng shared folder sa server..pag may nakita ako na mageencode or magtytype..sinasabi ko save lang nila dun sa shortcut folder na yun para di mawala yung files nila..kasi nakaDF po yung mga client pc dito..

1. full share your desktop's My Document (read/write)
2. freeze your server's C drive
3. on your client pc, right click the My Document folder on your desktop and click on "Move" button. browse to Network Places, and find the fully shared My Document folder in your server. select that and click Apply


now, tell your customers to save all files for printing inside the My Document folder on their desktop. the file will automatically be sent to the server My Document folder, ready for printing.

when you restart your server, those documents are wiped clean off your pc since it's on the frozen partition. no mess, no fuss. ^^

a better solution though is to move the My Document folder path to another My Document folder in an unfrozen partition. this way, even if something goes wrong and you have to restart your server, your customer's files won't get lost.

To avoid accumulated clutter, delete all the contents when you close shop for the day. ^^

Eto po pano po to?

sorry for the late reply (very late actually). ngayon ko lang natisod ulit. ^^

1. When setting up Windows: Create partition. then specify the size you want. for your secondary partition, do the same (kung wala kang balak sa tatlong partition, then just leave the value indicated).

2. Go to My Computer, and look for any folder or drives with a "hand" on it. if found, then right click it, select Sharing and Security, and put a check on the "Read Only" attribute only.
