1.Disable Error Reporting to Microsoft


If you'd rather not take the time to send error reports to Microsoft when things go wrong, you can disable the feature. To turn it off, run Msconfig. Choose the Services tab and remove the check from the Error Reporting Service check box. Starting with the next time you reboot your system, the error-reporting service will no longer load.

2.Customize the Send To Menu


You can easily add entries to the Send To menu, invoked by right-clicking on a document, folder, or other item. Navigate to C:\Windows\Sendto and create shortcuts to directories and applications where you might want to send an item. Items added to the Sendto directory will appear on the Send To menu.

3.Use Themes in Windows 2000


There isn't any Themes Control Panel applet in Windows 2000, but there is still a desktop themes tool. Just click the Start menu, select Run, and, in the Open box, type Themes and hit Enter. You can then configure your desktop theme as you wish and click OK when you're done.

4.Enable Auto-complete in the Command Prompt


To do this, you must be logged on with Administrator rights. Run Regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Command Processor. Right-click on the CompletionChar DWORD and choose Modify. Change its value to 9.

After you reboot, the next time you're in a command prompt, try typing cd followed by the first letter of the folder you're interested in and then hit the Tab key. You'll see the first directory that begins with your letter; continue to hit Tab, to scroll through all of the folders with your designated letter. This trick works with files and folders and various commands, such as rd and copy.
