Easy Intel:
-----------
The following works on the mission entitled "Hunted". After fighting your
way through a basement (after going underneath a bridge, across a field,
et cetera), you'll reemerge outside. A nearby house next to a vending
machine and a car should be your target from here. Inside the house,
there's a laptop on the table. This is a piece of Intel, and collecting
all thirty of them in the game will unlock all of the Cheat options available.
If you collect the Laptop, and then head through the nearby checkpoint, it
will be permanently acquired on your save file. Kill yourself at this point
(a Grenade is an easy way to do so), and backtrack to the house. Collect
the Laptop again, go to the checkpoint, kill yourself, and repeat the
process. By doing this, you can collect thirty laptops without actually
collecting all thirty of them.

Prestige Mode:
--------------
To unlock Prestige Mode, which is a multiplayer-only mode, you must reach
experience level fifty-five. Instead of capping out at level fifty-five,
which is the highest level, Prestige Mode allows you to start again from
level one. This can be done a total of ten times, giving you ten different
icons in in-game lobbies to show your extreme achievement.

Unlockable: Arcade Mode:
------------------------
To unlock Arcade Mode, beat the game once through on any difficulty level.
Arcade Mode itself is split into two options - Full Challenge or Level
Challenge - that add extra replayability to the game.

Unlockable: New Mission
-----------------------
To play an all-new mission, which is an extra mission after the main quest
is completed, beat the game and view the ending credits thereafter. After
they've run their course, you will then be given the opportunity to play
one last single player mission before all is said and done.

Cheat mode:
Successfully complete the game. A "Cheat" option will now appear during
game play at the "Options" menu.

Cheat options:
Collect the Intel Pieces (enemy laptop computers) hidden throughout the
game to unlock the cheat options. The number of pieces you have determines
which specific cheats are available.

CoD Noir - 2 Intel Pieces. Allows black and white graphics.
Photo-Negative - 4 Intel Pieces. Inverts the colors.
Super Contrast - 6 Intel Pieces. Increases the contrast.
Ragtime Warfare - 8 Intel Pieces. Silent movie mode.
Cluster Bombs - 10 Intel Pieces. Frag grenades are more powerful.
A Bad Year - 15 Intel Pieces. Enemies explode into tires when shot.
Slow-Mo Ability - 20 Intel Pieces. Slow motion game play.
Infinite Ammo - 30 Intel Pieces.

Intel Pieces:
-------------
Below is the level distribution list for Intel Pieces, which are enemy
laptops full of information strewn throughout the game. There are thirty
of them total. The left column is the level in question, while the right
column is how many Intel Pieces can be found on that level.
Levels with no Intel Pieces are excluded completely.

Level 2 - 2
Level 4 - 2
Level 5 - 3
Level 6 - 2
Level 7 - 2
Level 9 - 3
Level 10 - 2
Level 12 - 2
Level 13 - 3
Level 14 - 2
Level 16 - 2
Level 17 - 1
Level 18 - 2
Level 19 - 2

Various Codes:
--------------
Cheats are unlocked not by inserting passwords, but by acquiring the thirty
Intel Pieces strewn throughout the game. The more of them you collect, the
more cheats you can access. On the left are the number of Intel Pieces
collected, and on the right are the cheats that are unlocked,
with an explanation of what each does.

2 - "CoD Noir" Play the game in black and white.
4 - "Photo-Negative" Game colors become inverted.
6 - "Super Contrast" Game's contrast increases.
8 - "Ragtime Warfare" The game feels like an old silent movie.
10 - "Cluster Bombs" One frag grenade thrown equals five in explosion.
15 - "A Bad Year" Enemies explode into tires when shot.
20 - "Slow-Mo Ability" Game plays at 40% normal speed.
30 - "Infinite Ammo" Just what it says.

Epilogue Mission:
-----------------
Sit and look through all the credits at the end of the game, and you'll
unlock one more mission.

Mile High Club mission:
Complete Story mode under any difficulty.


Multiplayer Challenges:
-----------------------
Simply ranking up is enough to unlock the ordinary perks, but weapon
modifications like laser sights, grenade launcher attachments and silencers
are unlocked with specific challenges. Luckily these are pretty
straightforward: want a sight for your M16? Get 50 kills with your M16.
And better still, unlocking these gives you a bucket-load of XP towards
your next promotion.

Crew Expendable: Desert Eagle:
------------------------------
In the second large containment room, run ahead of your team. There are
two enemies with Desert Eagles who will try to surprise you around two
corners, depending on the path you take.

Game Over: SSgt. Griggs's "Success!" comment:
---------------------------------------------
Killing all three RPG enemies in the pursuing trucks in Game Over
results in SSgt. Griggs saying "Success!"

Multi-player: Headshots:
------------------------
When you kill another player with a headshot, a metal "ping" sound
will play to confirm it.

Faster experience:
------------------
To level up quicker than usual, try to use the same gun until all the marksman
and elite challenges are completed. They provide huge boosts and will quickly
level you up to get new guns. However, do not use those guns yet. Just keep
on the challenge until it has completed. The third phase of the challenge
usually ends with 1,000 experience points and that will bump you up a rank
almost in itself. Also, do not forget about the strange challenges like
jumping 15 feet and surviving or falling 30 feet to your death. To get that
one if not previously unlocked play the "Countdown" map and jump into one of
the open missile silos. You will get instant experience points for simply dying.
Also, remember to go prone and crouch to get those challenges as well.

Better accuracy:
----------------
Once you get the Red Dot Scope addon to your weapons, use it over the ACOG scope.
The red dot will not enhance or take away anything and provides a better aimpoint
on most weapons. The ACOG scope will actually add more range to your weapon, but
take away accuracy which accomplishes almost nothing; especially so for snipers
because it takes away range and adds nothing.

Sniping:
--------
If a target is moving make sure to lead it. If you are not making shots try to
lead your target more. Also, if you are a skilled sniper try using the M40A3 over
the M21. It has a slower reload time and rate of fire, but it has enough damage
to kill a target in one shot instead of two or three. It also allows you to be
less noticeable with less rounds being fired; so someone else cannot follow
the tracer shot back to you. A good setup for the sniper is the Claymore perk,
to alert you when an enemy is trying to close in on your rear, and either the
Sleight Of Hand or Stopping Power, then Iron Lungs to give you more time to
line up your shots.

Map names:
----------
Use opne of the following entries with the map or spdevmap codes.

killhouse
cargoship
coup (intermission sequence)
blackout
bog_a
hunted
ac130
bog_b
airlift
aftermath (intermission sequence)
village_assault
scoutsniper
village_defend
ambush
icbm
launchfacility_b
jeepride

New Mission:
------------
To play an all-new mission, which is an extra mission after the main quest is
completed, beat the game and view the ending credits thereafter. After they've
run their course, you will then be given the opportunity to play one last single
player mission before all is said and done.

Golden weapons:
---------------
Complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding golden weapon camouflage.

Golden Ak-47 - Complete all Assault Rifle challenges
Golden Desert Eagle - Reach level 55
Golden Dragonuv - Complete all Sniper challenges
Golden M1014 - Complete all Shotgun challenges
Golden M60 - Complete all LMG challenges
Golden Mini-Uzi - Complete all SMG challenges

Faster experience:
------------------
To level up, gain points, and to complete challenges easily, find a TDM game of
the map "Shipment", preferably with a lot of people. Make sure you have the
Steady Aim/Martyrdom/Stopping Power perks on and choose a gun you want to level
up. Shipment is a very small close shoulder-to-shoulder map. Just run around
holding down the trigger, taking down as many people as possible.
This is very fast paced and you should tick points very quickly.

Death From Above: Easy points:
------------------------------
In Arcade mode you can score easy points by shooting the building with the 105mm
or the 40mm. When the building is destroyed you will get 1,000 points.

One Shot, One Kill: Canine help:
--------------------------------
When you are on the mission where you have to carry your captain (when you are in
the Ghillie Suits),you will find abandoned swimming pool with some rabid dogs at
the bottom. Do not kill them. Just run around the edge and do not fall in. When
you drop your captain off behind the Ferris wheel and both of you get into position,
there will be a patrol after you. When your captain tells you to open fire with your
sniper rifle, shoot anyone on the left side, closest to the building with the pool
in it. Everyone will hit the deck after one of their teammates dies. The dogs will
sense danger, jump out of the window, and start attacking the soldiers. This
is helpful as at least four or five of the soldiers die.
This also saves ammunition.

Windows XP Tips and Tricks - Renaming Multiple Files

Windows XP lets you rename files in bulk by simply selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer and pressing the F2 key. When you use this feature, the OS applies the name you enter to the first file and applies the same name with a number in parentheses to the other files you selected (the file extensions remain unchanged).

For example, if you select the following files,
* pics.jpg
* notes.txt
* myname.rtf
* music.mp3

and rename the first file (pics.jpg) to sample.doc, XP renames the remaining files as follows:
* Sample (1).jpg
* Sample (2).txt
* Sample (3).rtf
* Sample (4).mp3

Windows Explorer Tips - Usefull Shortcuts

Collapse current selection if it's expanded, or select parent folder. LEFT ARROW
Display current selection if it's collapsed, or select first subfolder. RIGHT ARROW

Windows tips - Creating a personal Screen saver

This isnt a tweak, but a great little feature!(many would know this) For a great way to put your digital photos to work, try creating a slide show presentation for use as a screen saver. Here's how:

1. Right-click an empty spot on your desktop and then click Properties.

2. Click the Screen Saver tab.

3. In the Screen saver list, click My Pictures Slideshow.

4. Click Settings to make any adjustments, such as how often the pictures should change, what size they should be, and whether you'll use transition effects between pictures, and then click OK.

Now your screen saver is a random display of the pictures taken from your My Pictures folder.Windows tips - Change The Default Location For Installing Applications


As the size of hardrives increase, more people are using partitions to seperate and store groups of files.

XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.

1. Run the Registry Editor (by typing 'regedit' in Run command)
2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion in Registry Editor
3. Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir.
4. By default,this value will be C:\Program Files.
5. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

Auto End Tasks to Enable a Proper Shutdown, Win XP Tweak
This reg file automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.

1. Copy the following (everything in the box) into notepad.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"



2. Save the file as shutdown.reg
3. Double click the file to import into your registry.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script Safe" or similar technology enabled.

Cool trick to customise the start Button.


First you need a tool called "Resource Hacker". This free program allows you to change resources in any .exe file such as "Explorer.exe", which includes the [Start] button's Label. You can visit Download.com and search there for "Resource Hacker".
After you download it, follow the guide here:

Step 1:

A - Run "Resource Hacker" and open the file "%windir%\Explorer.exe".
B - You see a Tree of all Resources in this file, expand the "String Table"
C - Find the "start" and replace it with your own text. then press the [Compile Script] button.
D - Save "Explorer.exe" as "MyStart.exe" DONT save it as Explorer.exe, do "save as.." and give it a new name.
E - Quit "Resource Hacker".

Step 2:

A - Click on the [Start] button and choose the "Run..." item from the start menu. (Or use the shortcut key WinKey+R)
B - Type "RegEdit" in the Run "Dialog Box". And then press the [Ok] buton to run the "Registry Editor" program.
C - Go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" and find the "Shell" property.
D - Replace value of the "Shell" property to "MyStart.exe".
E - Quit "Registry Editor".
F - Restart your system.

Note about Registry Editor:
if you did not find the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon", you can search the Registry for the "Explorer.exe", to do this use the Edit Menu | Find Next (Ctrl+F)

Cool Trick to find How Long Has Your System Been Running.

Here's how you verify system uptime:

Click Start | Run and type "cmd" to open a command prompt.
At the prompt, type "systeminfo"

Scroll down the list of information to the line that says System Up Time.

This will tell you in days, hours, minutes and seconds how long the system has been up.

Note that this command only works in XP Pro, not in XP Home. You can, however, type net statistics workstation at the prompt in Home. The first line will tell you the day and time that the system came online.

Make your own Thumbnail view size in windows


When we browse images in the explorer, the thumbnail size of the picture's is too small or too big and the quality of the thumbnail is not good, it is possible to make our own thumbnail size and make the thumbnails display in high quaility.

To do this it is required to edit the registry, so it is better to make the registry backup.


1. open the registry editor - start->run-> regedit

2. navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft \ Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer

3. create two new DWord Value by right clicking and select "new->DWORD value" and name one as "ThumbnailSize" and other as "ThumbnailQuality"

4. select Decimal Value and set values for both, ThumbnailSize can have values 32 - 256 and Thumbnail Quaility can have values 50 - 100.

5. open any folder and change the view to Thumbnail and see the difference.

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts:



First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.

But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:

shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.

I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:

shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"

Switch
What it does

-s
Shuts down the PC.

-l
Logs off the current user.

-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r
Reboots the PC.

Disabling Send Error Report in XP

1. Open Control Panel
2. Click on Preformance and Maintenance.
3. Click on System.
4. Then click on the Advanced tab
5. Click on the error reporting button on the bottom of the windows.
6. Select Disable error reporting.
7. Click OK
8. Click OK



Open Windows Explorer to a Different Default Directory

Open Windows Explorer to a Different Default Directory


When you open Windows Explorer (by choosing the Window key and "E" simultaneously or by choosing Start, all Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer), you can change the directory that appears by default.
If you choose Start, all Programs, Accessories, and then right-click on Windows Explorer and choose Properties, you can modify the "Target" directory.
To go to your C: drive, type simply C:\ in the Target box and choose OK. You can also enter a shortcut key on this screen, telling Windows the character or combination of characters you want to type to automatically open Windows Explorer. You can even change the icon or specify that you always want Explorer to open up in full-screen mode.






hange Text on XP Start Button
Step 1 - Modify Explorer.exe File

In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.

get this from http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

The first step is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe.

The category we are going to be using is "String Table". Expand it by clicking the plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the stringtable. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word “start” just as it displays on the current Start button.

There is no magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry. In my case I used Click Me!

You’ll notice that after the new text string has been entered the Compile Script button that was grayed out is now active. I won’t get into what’s involved in compiling a script, but suffice it to say it’s going to make this exercise worthwhile. Click Compile Script and then save the altered file using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command – Make sure to use the Save As command and choose a different name for the file. Save the newly named file to C:\Windows.


Step 2 – Modify the Registry

!!!make a backup of your registry before making changes!!!

Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open field. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

In the right pane, double click the "Shell" entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.

Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.



Cool trick to Modify *.exe files

learn how to change *.exe files, in 5 easy steps:

1) Don't try to modify a program by editing its source in a dissasembler.Why?
because that's for programmers and assembly experts only.

try to view it in hex you'll only get tons of crap you don't understand.
First off, you need Resource Hacker(last version). It's a resource editor-
very easy to use, You can download it at
http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

2) Unzip the archive, and run ResHacker.exe. You can check out the help file too


3) You will see that the interface is simple and clean. Go to the menu FileOpen or press Ctrl+O to open a file. Browse your way to the file you would like to edit. You can edit *.exe, *.dll, *.ocx, *.scr and *.cpl files, but this tutorial is to teach you how to edit *.exe files, so open one.

4) In the left side of the screen a list of sections will appear.
The most common sections are
-String table;
-RCData;
-Dialog;
-Cursor group;
-Bitmap;
-WAV.
*Icon: You can view and change the icon(s) of the program by double-clicking the icon section,chossing the icon, right-clicking on it and pressing "replace resource". After that you can choose the icon you want to replace the original with.
*String table: a bunch of crap, useful sometimes, basic programming knowladge needed.
*RCData: Here the real hacking begins. Modify window titles, buttons, text, and lots more!
*Dialog:Here you can modify the messages or dialogs that appear in a program. Don't forget to press "Compile" when you're done!
*Cursor group: Change the mouse cursors used in the program just like you would change the icon.
*Bitmap: View or change images in the programs easy!
*WAV:Change the sounds in the prog. with your own.


5) In the RCData,Dialog,Menu and String table sections you can do a lot of changes. You can modify or translate the text change links, change buttons, etc.


TIP: To change a window title, search for something like: CAPTION "edit this".
TIP: After all operations press the "Compile Script" button, and when you're done editing save, your work @ FileSave(Save as).
TIP: When you save a file,the original file will be backed up by default and renamed to Name_original and the saved file will have the normal name of the changed prog.
TIP: Sometimes you may get a message like: "This program has a non-standard resource layout... it has probably been compressed with an .EXE compressor." That means that Resource Hacker can't modify it because of it's structure.

A Faster Start Menu



I see no reason for there to be any delay when I click on the Start Menu. Effects are pretty, but I wouldn’t click on it if I didn’t have business inside, so lets get it open and get moving. The default speed can be adjusted with a quick registry entry.


The default value is 400. Set it to 0 and the delay is gone, but it will be nearly impossible to move the mouse fast enough not to activate [All Programs] if you mouse over it in route to your final selection. It's easy to train yourself to move the pointer to the right after clicking Start to avoid activating All Programs. Pick a number that suits your style and make the change, then test it until you find a good compromise between speed and usability.


[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: String Value // Value Name: MenuShowDelay
Setting for Value Data: [Default = 400 / Adjust to Preference]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Speedup Your Folder Browsing.



You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:

1. Open My Computer
2. Click on Tools menu
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click on the View tab.
5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
6. Click Apply
7. Click Ok
8. Reboot your computer

How to disable Windows XP Boot logo



It is possible to disable the XP splash screen, which will slightly speed up the overall boot process. Be aware that removing the splash screen will also cause you not to see any boot-up messages that might come up (chkdsk, convert … ), but if your system runs without any problems then it should not matter.

·                     Edit boot.ini.
·                     Add ” /noguiboot” right after “/fastdetect”.
Upon restarting, the splash screen will be gone. It can be re-enabled by removing the new switch.
