Yes! It's possible.
The biggest mystery finally revealed. We can enable the administrator account in any version of windows. You might be wondering sometime that even your account is already an admin account, why your pc asks/prompts  you  to run a program as admin. This is because every pc has a hidden administrator account, and only that particular account has the full permission to do any thing.
So here you go-
To enable the administrator account :
1. Open command prompt as Administrator.
 a. To do so you can right click on the cmd icon in start menu and select Run as Admin.
2. Type the following command on the command prompt:
       net user administrator /active:yes  
    and press enter key. A message will appear saying Command competed successfully.
    and you are done, go back to logon screen and you will have a Administrator account.
3. To switch it off back again go to command prompt. and type the following command.
       net user administrator /active:no

Cool Windows 8 [v.8.1] facts you should know

1. You Can Shut Down in Two Clicks

Press Windows Key + X or right-click the Start button to open the power user menu. This menu contains shortcuts with quick access to commonly used options like the Control Panel, Task Manager, and File Explorer.

2. Show Administrative Tools

The system tools found in the Windows Administrative Tools folder — applications like the Task Scheduler, Event Viewer, Services, and Computer Management tools — are normally hidden. They won’t appear in your All apps list and you won’t be able to find them by searching your installed applications, either. If you need them, head to the Start screen, press Windows Key + C, select Settings, select Tiles, and enable the Show administrative tools option on the Tiles pane.

3. Windows To Go

Of the entire list here, this is one feature that offers the most convenience to users. Windows To Go allows users to make a copy of their OS complete with their settings, wallpapers, files and even apps, into a USB/Pen drive. Plugged it into another computer with Windows 8 already installed, and you can boot up the PC and make it look exactly alike the OS you normally use, with all settings intact.

4. Windows Live Syncing

Similar to Windows To Go, the new Windows 8 will provide Windows Live syncing, such that users can login on any Windows 8 PC with ‘Live ID’ and get back their own personalized settings on it. The desktop will look the same every time the user login on a PC with their Windows Live account. Migrating to a new PC is probably made easier when the user has all the essential settings synced.

5. Built-In Antivirus

 

Windows 8 finally includes an integrated antivirus. The antivirus is named Windows Defender, although anyone who has used the free Microsoft Security Essentials will recognize the interface immediately. In Windows 8 Microsoft Security Essentials just has been renamed to Windows Defender.

Cool Win 7 facts you should know..

1. Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

Using the mouse, you can drag-n-dock windows to either side of the screen, or drag it to the top to maximize it. These keyboard shortcuts are even faster:

   Win+Left Arrow and Win+Right Arrow -> Dock the window to the left and right side of the screen
   Win+Up Arrow and Win+Down Arrow -> Maximize and restore/minimize
   Win+M -> minimizes everything
   Alt+Up, Alt+Left Arrow, Alt+Right Arrow ->
   Navigate to parent folder, or browse Back and Forward through folders in Explorer
   Win+Home -> Minimizes/restores all open windows except the active window
   Alt+Win+# -> Accesses the Jump List of program number ‘#’ on the taskbar.



2. Rearrange System Tray Icons

You can rearrange icons on the taskbar as you wish and start new (or switch to running) instances of the first ten taskbar programs using Win+1, Win+2, and so on. The cool thing is you can also rearrange system tray icons. Reorder them on the tray or move them outside or back in the tray. Take control of what you want to always keep an eye on, and from which apps you’ll require notifications.

3. Add Any Folder to Favorites

You can add any library or folder to the Favorites section in Windows Explorer. To add a folder, navigate to it in Explorer, right-click Favorites in the left navigation pane, and select Add current location to Favorites. Now you get quick access to your favorite folders in all File->Save As dialogs!

4. Create Keyboard Shortcuts for Programs

You can create keyboard shortcuts for any program in Windows 7. Right-click the program icon and select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab, click in Shortcut key, to set the keyboard shortcut for that program.

5. Open Command Prompt in Any Folder

Miss the "Open Command Window Here" Windows XP power toy? Press "Shift" when right-clicking on a folder to get that option in the context menu. This also works on the desktop. No power toy required!

6. View Expanded ‘Send To’ Menu

Press Shift when right-clicking on a folder to get an expanded Send To menu.

[Image preview provided above.]

7.  Customize the Power Button

Change the default Shutdown power button to Hibernate. Right-click on Start, select Properties, and choose the Power button action that you use the most (Stand by, Hibernate Shut down, Restart whatever you want).

8. Search Internet from the Start Menu

Enable Internet search from the Start Menu using your default browser. Run GPEDIT.MSC from the Start Menu search box to start the Group Policy Editor. In the left pane, go to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Start Menu and Taskbar. In the right pane, right-click to Edit and Enable Add Search Internet link to Start Menu.

9. Add Videos to Start Menu

Windows 7 does not have a link to your videos on the Start Menu by default. To add a link to your videos on the Start Menu, right-click Start, select Properties, click on Customize. In the Videos section at the bottom, choose Display as a link.

10. Send information to tech support

The next time you find yourself trying to describe a complicated computer problem to a friend or tech support, give Problem Steps Recorder a try. You can record a series of screen shots, add notes, and email them directly to whoever is helping you. Do you Know how to open it???

• In the window that opens, then enter the following command:
• Net user[name]/time[days and hours]

Change the ICON of drives in my computer

All the Xp users would have been bored by the boring icons in their My Computer panel which are adjacent to the Hard disk drives(C:,D: or whatever drive letter you have).

Here is a simple tweak by which you will be able to change this monotonous icon to anything you like, even your own Picture if you wish.

You can put any image in place of one which I have shown, even the picture of your favourite celebrity or your  own Picture.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. First of all the picture you want to use should have .ico extension(if you already have a pic with .ico extension proceed to step 2

2. Most of the pictures we normally use have extensions like .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif etc, so you first need to convert them to one with .ico extension. This is simple. Use any Image Converter Softwares to convert your image to .ico format.

3. Now go to My Computer. Suppose you want to put this icon in place of your original C: Drive.

Double click and enter C: Paste your .ico image file in it. Also create a new text file and in it type the following lines:
[autorun]
ICON=favicon.ico

Remember that 'favicon.ico' in the second line is the name of your image file. If you have an image file with .ico extension by the name of 'abc.ico', then use that in the second line in place of 'favicon.ico'.

4. Now rename this text file as "autorun.inf" (without the quotes).

5. Now restart your Pc. You are done. Check out the cool new picture you have just added in your My computer panel.
Like the one given below...  Below is my My Computer Image!

Speed Up Your Windows XP

Hey folks...
In this post I'm going to tell you how to speed up your windows XP using registry...
Let’s get straight to the point. This Windows XP registry tweak will make your system boot much faster. How much?


I can not say exactly how much faster, since it all depends on your computer specifications (processor, RAM, hard-drive and stuff like that…), but from my experience, this tweak decreased the time to boot-up for about 9-10 seconds.
Now you see how great this registry tweak is and it will get even better when you see how simple it is to apply. I will do my best to show you step-by-step and make it plain simple and of course with screenshots included.
How to make Windows XP start faster:

1. Click on “Start” on the taskbar.

2. Click “Run” located in the start menu.

3. Then in the “Run” panel, type: “regedit” without the quotation marks. (that will open up the Windows registry editor)

4. Then click on “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” and expand it.

5. Then click on “SYSTEM” and expand it.

6. Then scroll down, and expand “CurrentControlSet”.

7. Under that, expand “Control”.

8. Then, under that one, locate and click on “ContentIndex”. (so when you click on it, it needs to be highlighted and it’s options need to show up in the right panel of Windows XP Registry Editor)
So to sum up, here’s where you need to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ ContentIndex

Let’s continue… You have just 6 more steps until the finish line!

9. When you have clicked on “ContentIndex” and it is highlighted and you see the options and parameters on the right side of the panel… Among those, you need to scroll all the way to the bottom and find the Registry key named “StartupDelay”.

10. Double-click on it and a new window panel will pop-up.

11. The new window has a field to enter value (and a default value entered already). But before you change the value, you need to change the base from Hexadecimal to Decimal.
Now when you change it to Decimal, it displays a different value (480000 instead of 75300).

12. So now, all you need to do is change the value from “480000” to “40000” (forty thousand)
Many people ask me if they can change it to an even smaller value than 40000, but I would not recommend doing that. I tested it and it doesn’t work. I did not feel any difference in boot-up time when I change it to value less than 40000 (and no, you can’t put 0 either).

13. After you’ve completed all the steps above, click “OK” and close the Registry Editor.
And one just one little thing you need to do to finish all this registry tweaking…

14. Restart your computer.

Now you can notice big difference in time that your system takes to boot-up. Mine was faster for 10 seconds than usual.
