How to install MS Office 2010 on Windows XP Service Pack 2

Recommendation: Upgrade to Service Pack3


If you have Windows XP SP 2, and you are not able to install MS Office 2010 because it requires SP3, then just follow the steps below:
  • Start => Run => Type "Regedit" and Enter
  • GOTO  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE => System => CurrentControlSet => Control =>Windows
  • On the right frame you will see "CSDVersion", Right-click and Modify
  • Now change the value 200 to 300 and OK.
  • Close and Reboot
To check after reboot, Right-click on My Computer => properties , In "System" it will show you Service pack 3 instead of Service pack 2... if somehow this doesn't work then follow the above steps but this time choose ControlSet001ControlSet002 and ControlSet003 instead of CurrentControlSet ... this will probably work!!!

Now that you have version number of  SP3,  you can Install MS Office 2010...

How To Create An Invisible Folder - XP, VISTA, WINDOWS 7


Create An Invisible Folder


We create "New Folder" to put our data official or personal, but what about creating "Invisible New Folder" to increase our security level and feel more secure by making any folder invisible.


Yes, of course you can hide your folder, but that's not going to be the same because hiding and showing is known by more users than making your folder invisible, to show your hidden folder anyone can simply check "show hidden files and folders" and your all hidden folders start screaming like I'm hidden! I'm hidden!


To make your folder invisible instead of less secure hidden follow these steps:
1. Create "New Folder" by right click > New > Folder


2. Name or Rename it by pressing Alt + 255 (from Numpad)


3. Now Right-Click on the folder and open Properties > Customize (tab) > Change Icon > then you will see icons, scroll right and you will see Three blank icons (From left to right on 13th column) with no images select any one of them and click OK and then again APPLY and OK.


All done now you folder is invisible, but you can use it as a regular folder.


You might be thinking what just happened, In Step 2 you give your folder a name "Whitespace" by (Alt)+ (2 5 5 from Numpad) or simply a space not regular space because you cannot rename your folder with regular space (you can try that).


In Step 3 I guess you know, just changed the icon of your folder to a blank transparent icon.


Remember, its Invisible folder not password protected one and you can apply same trick in XP, Vista and Windows 7.
