Windows ICMP Bug
The Windows ICMP bug is a security hole in Windows that allows
malicious users to hang Windows 95 and Windows NT machines that
are
connected to a network. The attack occurs most commonly over the
Internet. A program called SSPING sends certain ICMP packets to
an IP
address of a Windows machine; the ICMP packets are fragmented in
such
a way that the machine attempts but is unable to reassemble them.
When a Windows machine receives the fragmented ICMP packets, it
simply freezes up. This bug has not been shown to cause any
significant damage to systems, and a simple reboot is the
preferred
remedy. However, though non-destructive, this bug could cause
possible problems if you have unsaved data in an open application
at the time of attack.
Adding Icons to the Start Button
To add an icon to the Start Menu in Windows 95, 98, or NT,
simply click and drag any object from the desktop and drop it
on the Start button.
Watch Your Defragmentation Tools
Avoid using a defragmentation program that isn’t aware of
long
filenames. You can not only destroy your long filename space,
but you might also end up corrupting the drive's data as well,
especially on volumes that are 1GB to 2GB in size.
Easy Icons
To create an icon in Windows, simply select a bitmap file that
you find suitable and rename its extension from .BMP to .ICO --
that's all there is to it.
This was what I had for now, but If I get good response from you people I'll continue to work hard & update it daily!
