Show - Hide Desktop is another fun Windows prank from RJL Software. This prank allows you to configure how often the desktop icons will hide and then show again. With this prank, then entire desktop with all of the icons will disappear and then magically re-appear when the configured time (in seconds) elapses.

Show - Hide Desktop is a simple little prank that installs and runs seamlessly on any Windows operating system.

How to close

Move your mouse pointer to the TOP LEFT corner of your screen. This will stop the program from running in memory. If you have successfully moved your mouse in the correct position, the program will close and display an About Box Screen. Once you close this screen, the program will exit. Exiting the software will allow Windows to delete the file.

The Vista Upgrade Prank starts by emulating the Windows Update service screen. Clicking the install or cancel button closes the update service window and appears to initiate the Vista Upgrade Advisor. This Upgrade Advisor scan the system (actually does nothing) to ensure the computer is ready to upgrade to Vista. If you click the Cancel button, it disables itself. You are unable to close the screen or stop the progress (don't worry, its harmless). The Upgrade Advisor completes within 15 seconds or so and then informs the user their computer is able to run Windows Vista. Yippee!

Here is where the fun begins. After the Upgrade Advisor our Vista Upgrade Prank will initiate a 'fake' Upgrade to Vista. This part includes many flashy icons and flavor text about the joys of upgrading to Vista. The user can click next or wait a few seconds and the upgrade to Vista simulation begins. Again, clicking cancel will do nothing, the process runs until the progress bar is complete (this process does nothing either). After 30 seconds or so the fake upgrader shows that the upgrade was successful and allows the user to close the upgrade program.

Upon closing the upgrade a full screen Vista logo appears with the Vista startup sound making it appear as though the system is running Vista. After some load time the user is presented with a Mac OS X desktop with a little bit of Windows flavor. After all, the visual features in Vista already exists in Mac OS X - right? Double-clicking the desktop or clicking 5 times will close the fake Vista desktop and the gag program will exit. An awesome prank for the workplace.

How to close

Once the fake Vista upgrade is completed you can double-click on the fake Vista desktop or click on the fake Vista desktop 5 seperate times. Once you click correctly the program will close and display an About Box Screen. Once you close this screen, the program will exit. Exiting the software will allow Windows to delete the file.

A nice post I came across while finding a resolution to error 4226 - limiting TCP/IP connections

For Vista
A simple entry in the registry that lets you disable the half-open Tcp connection limit
t
Simply open regedit and go here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\

There, change the value of "EnableConnectionRateLimiting" to '0' to disable it. reboot after the change.

If anyone finds about a similar solution for XP then please let me know. I dont want to install any patch on my computer.
