Hidden music in Windows XP

Did you know that there's a hidden music in Windows XP? To locate it, just go to C:\Windows\system32\oobe\images and find a file named 'title.wma'. It is a 5 minutes 24 seconds long music that is played as the background sound when you install Windows XP into your computer. But remember, when locating this song, make sure you have selected to view all hidden files and folders by going to Tools > Folder Options >View and then deselecting the option 'Hide protected operating system files'.

Quck fix for disappearing system icons

Did you ever have your network icon, your battery icon, your volume icon or all missing in your Windows Vista PC? And when you go to the task bar > Properties > Notification tab and you find the three options were missing? Don't worry, because we've got a solution to fix that!

Click on the Start button, then type 'REGEDIT' and press Enter. After that, navigate to and select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. Delete both IconStreams and PastIconStream in the right pane. Now open up the Task Manager by pressing and holding Ctrl - Shift - Esc. Go to the Processes tab, select 'explorer.exe' and click 'End Process'. The task bar, with the desktop icons, disappears. After that, go to the 'Applications' tab and click 'New Task...' at the bottom-right of the window. When a window pops up, type 'explorer.exe' and click OK.

By now, the missing icons will appear in the task bar where they originally belong.
