learn to do it now!!! (it takes less than a minute to do so)Disclaimer: this is an article which just brings out the fact that removing the
shut down menu option from the start menu is possible. If you however get caught
by your manager or college system administrator, and get whipped in your ass, I
cannot be held responsible. This tool is a inbuilt tool present in windows XP, just like msgconfig. So you
got to execute this command using run. 1 . Start ->run and type gpedit.msc The gpedit stands for group policy and you can do wonders using this. Also if
you a minute with your pal’s system and this pal tries to flirt your girl friend

also from the life saver – three buttons CTRL - ALT - DEL options. This option goes well with the HIDING THE LOG OFF FROM START MENU… (To shut down ur system:-without using frm shut down menu) The solution is that u can switch user thru task manager (alt+ctrl+del) or by

INSTALL XP WITH IN 10 MINUTESS
Here i am going to the secret that i got from another community . I found that we can bypass the 39 minute of time while we are installing windows xp.
Hope U Will Like IT...
We all know that after loading the file or copying the file from the boot disk to temporary space the system requires a first time reboot.
Now if we press shift+f10 then the task manager will open and there we will find that a process is running named setup.exe
Now our task is to make the priority of this process maxm by right clicking on that.
We are done.
Find ur xp installed in 10 min with tolerance 2 min
Note:if command prompt is get opening use command for task manager
