Increase resolution of a netbook
Usually, all netbook have a default resolution of 1024x600, due to which some of the application or games may not run and even installing windows 8. I came across this trick when I had trouble in playing "Rise of Nations: Gold Edition".
If you want your netbook (10'' display) to display resolution more than alloted to it.
You can do it using these simple steps written below
1. In the START menu , type regedit and press Enter button.
(It will ask for the administrator's permission, choose Yes)
2. On the left of that window go at the top and search for Display1_DownScalingSupported.
3. Press Enter and change Value data from 0 to 1 then restart your computer.
(Note: If you find more than one entry box, where value is 0 then change all of them to 1)
After restarting, right-click on desktop select screen resolution. Now in resolution you'll find that there are two more resolution options which you can select from (i.e. 1024x768 and 1152x864).
Select any of them and enjoy.

Customize "Send To" menu
Customize the “ Send To” Option
Adding new locations and programs and removing existing ones that you never use from this menu is very simple.
For windows 7 : go to "C:\Users\<admin>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo" .
For windows xp : Go to " C:\Documents and Settings\<admin>\SendTo "
<admin> refers to your username with which you login to your system.
To remove any item from the Send To menu, delete the shortcut from the folder.
To add any item to the menu, just add a shortcut to the folder by highlighting the folder, choosing File New Shortcut.The new setting will take effect immediately.
As you can see in the given image I have added another 'desktop' option which is different from 'Desktop(create shortcut) . It will directly send the file to your desktop(without creating its shortcut).
