Windows 2000 Security Hardening Guid

RemoteConnection
Well I thing most users of here are using Microsoft , yea ? maybe some of them use Win2000 , It's from microsoft >>>
Overview
This document provides administrator guidance for how to set up and configure secure Windows 2000 systems in several scenarios. This document is a baseline for other hardening guides published by Microsoft, such as the Microsoft Solutions for Security.

This document is not meant as a replacement for the Windows 2000 Common Criteria Security Configuration Guide, but rather as a more generally applicable hardening guide which applies to a much broader range of specific systems which may include or exclude services specified in the Windows 2000 Common Criteria evaluated configuration. The Common Criteria guide is designed for general purpose systems that specifically need to be compliant with the Common Criteria evaluation requirements and sacrifices some usability to do so. The document you are currently reading is designed to provide more generic guidance for a wider range of specific system classes, without necessarily trading off basic operating system functionality. The recommendations in this guide were generally chosen to safely allow Microsoft customers to deploy the recommended settings on existing Windows 2000 systems, not just on newly-built systems. We have also reviewed the default permissions on Windows Server 20003 and recommended those permissions here where they did not break existing Windows 2000 Server services.

This guide covers hardening of Windows 2000 in three different configurations each for Windows 2000 Professional and the Windows 2000 Server family. The configurations are designed to be very generic to enhance applicability.

    Windows XP (15)
    Welcome to my turoial on how to start multiple programs using one shortcut. You may probably be

    am not sure whether it is "language", but I do know that it is a way to program for MS-DOS. Batch is
    simply a way to run several MS-DOS commands with just one command. All batch files are run through
    Command Prompt, but they can be accessed with shortcuts also. Here are a few requirements for this

  16. Reducing Windows Vista Start Menu Programs Response Time.
    How to do it. (4)
    If you have been using Microsoft Windows Vista for quite some time, you would have noticed that
    installing a number of programs/softwares into your computer considerably slows down the response
    time of your start menu program folder, sometimes up to one second or more before the programs
    listed in a particular start menu folder is displayed. Worst of all, if you are trying to launch a
    program from you start menu which is within another start menu prrograms folder. Well, I have found
    a way to bypass this very annoying thing in Windows Vista. I have about 98 start menu en....

  23. Memory Trick To Speedup Windows Xp
    (28)
    Here is one of the not so known method for free-up the RAM to make the Windows run faster. When
    programs run in Windows XP, they frequently use what are called DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries). These
    contain shared programming instructions and other files like icons, graphics, sounds, etc. that
    different applications use in order to run. DLLs are stored in RAM whenever the applications load
    them; when you quit a program, XP is supposed to release the DLL from memory. But some DLLs can get
    stuck. Here is the method to mend this up. Step 1: You can force Windows XP to re....

    it took too much processor memory and it can't connect to Skype or Googletalk (which I
    haven't downloaded, but will do so when I find a suitable Adiumlike program). Does anyone know
    of an IM client which supports all the major IM protocols? That would be MSN, Yahoo, AIM,

    wouldn't boot and eventually chkdsk said that the mbr was unrecoverable. A friend recommended
    that i use a seperate parallel hard drive to load windows and then convert the disk to dynamic in
    disk management. I did this, but the computer crashed and now windows won't even load with the
    SATA hard drive connected. The BIOS sees the SATA hdd, but that's as far as I can get. I tri....
