Search For Hidden Or System Files In Windows XP
The Search companion in Windows XP searches for hidden and system files differently than in earlier versions of Windows. This guide describes how to search for hidden or system files in Windows XP.
Search for Hidden or System Files By default, the Search companion does not search for hidden or system files. Because of this, you may be unable to find files, even though they exist on the drive
To search for hidden or system files in Windows XP:
Click Start, click Search, click All files and folders, and then click More advanced options.
Click to select the Search system folders and Search hidden files and folders check boxes.
NOTE: You do not need to configure your computer to show hidden files in the Folder Options dialog box in Windows Explorer to find files with either the hidden or system attributes, but you need to configure your computer not to hide protected operating system files to find files with both the hidden and system attributes. Search Companion shares the Hide protected operating system files option (which hides files with both the system and hidden attributes) with the Folder Options dialog box Windows Explorer.

Secretly Hide Any File Inside JPG Image File
Few months ago , USA Today story claimed that al-Qaeda operatives were sending out encrypted messages by hiding them inside digital photographs [jpg files] on eBay.
While the claim was never proved, it is very easy to hide [or embed] any other file[s] inside a JPEG image. You can place video clips, pdf, mp3, Office documents, zipped files, webpage or any other file format inside a JPEG image.
And when a suspecting user [read CIA, FBI] tries to open that jpeg file [with concealed information] in either a photo editing software or as a thumbnail inside Windows Explorer, it would be tough to make out if this camouflaged jpg file is different from any standard jpg image.
Let's say you want to hide a confidential PDF document from the tax investigation officers. What you can do is convert that file into a regular jpg image so even if anyone double-clicks this file, all he will see is a preview of the image and nothing else. And when you want to work on the actual PDF, just rename the extension from jpg to pdf.
Here's the full trick:
Step 1: You will need two files - the file you want to hide and one jpg image - it can be of any size or dimensions. [If you want to hide multiple files in one jpeg image, just zip them into one file]
Step 2: Copy the above two files to the C: folder and open the command prompt window.
Step 3: Move to the c: root by typing cd \ [if the files are in another folder, you'll have to change the prompt to that folder]
Step 4: The most important step - type the following command:
copy /b myimage.jpg + filetohide.pdf my_new_image.jpg
To recover the original PDF file, just rename my_new_image.jpg to filename.pdf.
Here we illustrated with an pdf file as that works with simple renaming. If you want to apply this technique to other file formats like XLS, DOC, PPT, AVI, WMV, WAV, SWF, etc, you may have to first compress them in RAR format before executing the copy /b DOS command.
To restore the original file, rename the .jpg file to .rar and extract it using 7-zip or Winrar.

pc cleaning up
It is very important to keep your computer clean of crap and in good shape.
Manually Cleaning :
It is a good idea to always delete what you don't need. Delete any icons, those many .rars that are probably clogging up your desktop , and any other files you don't need. Clear out your Downloads folder (if you have one), and My Documents of any crap.
Use Add or Remove Programs to uninstall the programs you don't need any longer. To do this, go to: Start --> Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs.
Also, have a look through Program Files as uninstalled programs can leave annoying files behind. So, right click your Start button. then go Explore. Just delete files and folders of programs you know you've uninstalled.
Clear out your temporary folder, to make sure there is nothing harmful in there. First, make sure all Browsers are closed. Go to... Start --> Run --> Type %TEMP% . Delete you can in there, as some files/folders may still be in use. Best to do this as soon as you boot up.
Disk Cleanup :
This is a very useful tool in getting rid of unwanted crap. To get to it go to... Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disk Cleanup.
Select your primary drive, and click OK. It will come up with a list of items that it can clean up, eg. Recycle Bin, Temporary Internet Files, Download Program Files as well as a brief description for each of them.
Disk Defragmenter :
It is very important to do this about every 2-3 weeks, or if your install something big. This clears your drives of fragmented files to help them run quicker and more efficient. To get to it go: Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disk Defragmenter.
Scan Disk :
This checks your disks for errors then tries to fix them. Sometimes you may have to run this before you defragment.
Go to: Start --> My Computer --> Right click C: (or what ever drive you use) --> Properties --> Tools --> and under Error-checking click Check Now.
Check both the options then click Start. It will say you need to reboot to use it so do so and let it run.
