SmartPhone - 让多种输入法共存，输入法切换无需再重启系统

让多种输入法共存，输入法切换无需再重启系统

举例说明安装多种IME的输入法（如A4、国笔），EXE的输入法就不必说了（如无敌快手）。
本帖例子：在575机型的2003系统上安装国笔2006Sp1、A4输入法和哈工大InSunIME输入法。

1.分别安装输入法（安装顺序任意），国笔、A4、InSunIme，安装过程中和完成后都不要重启系统。

2.在\Storage\下新建目录IME，并把这四个文件：\Storage\GbIME2.dll，\Storage\windwos\ZTA4.dll，\Storage\windwos\ZTA4.ver，\Storage\windwos\InSunIM.dll，移动到新目录\Storage\IME下。


3.编辑手机注册表，最好用电脑端编辑工具，这样视图大，容易看清楚。请在编辑前分别对其分支做好备份。删除该键值下面的所有项目[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts]
增加以下项目（均为字符串类型）：

CODE:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e00b0409]
"Ime File"="\\Storage\\IME\\InSunIM.dll"
"Keyboard Layout"="00000409"
"Layout Text"="InSun IME"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\00000409]
"Layout File"="kbdmouse.dll"
"Matrix"="kbdmouse.dll"
"PS2_AT"="kbdmouse.dll"
"Layout Text"="US"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e00a0409]
"PHONE IME"="ZTA4 IME"
"Ime File"="\\Storage\\IME\\ZTA4.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e00c0409]
"Ime File"="\\Storage\\IME\\GbIME2.dll"
"PHONE IME"="GBIme"

4.重启系统。

5.切换输入法：控制当前输入法的键值是[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1]下面的默认值的数据。由以上得知：当默认值等于e00c0409，那么当前输入法就是国笔同样是e00a0409时，当前输入法就是A4，是e00b0409当前输入法就是InSunIME。不需要重启系统，更改后会在下一个打开的输入窗口起效。

6.附注：
第1点说明：安装是为了把输入法所需要的文件都放到指定的目录，像国笔，还有些文件是在\Storage\Program Files\gbf下的。当然如果你知道需要哪些文件，可以不安装，自己手动复制所需的文件（具体什么文件，这个可以用WinCE CAB Manager分析CAB安装包得知）

第2点说明：新建目录是为了方便管理，把dll放到一个目录这样一目了然。

第3点说明：e00b0409这个键名称可以任意，不过最好形如e00b0409、e00c0409或者e0010409、e0020409等。其中这个键00000409不能删除，这是哈工大InSunIME输入法需要的。这些键值是怎么知道的，也是用WinCE CAB Manager分析CAB安装包得知的，再作了小小的修改。

第4点说明：输入法切换，将在切换之后的新开启的输入窗口起效的。也就是说，你可以同时使用不同的输入法，例如：起先输入法是国笔，打开新建短信窗口；然后不关闭新建短信窗口，再切换成A4输入法，打开记事本程序，你会发现：回到新建短信窗口，依然是使用国笔，切换到记事本程序，却是使用A4输入法。两种输入法都在被系统调用。

对于内存占用是比较关心的话题：系统正在调用的输入法会消耗内存的，不调用的输入法是不会占用内存的，简单的说，如果没有任何一个程序在使用国笔输入法（且国笔不是当前默认的输入法），那么国笔将不会占用内存，这点你可以很简单的测试，当输入法由国笔切换成A4，发现剩余内存会多出700KB左右。比较遗憾的是这种方法国笔输入法在任务栏不能显示状态（数字状态可以显示），如图：好在这点无关紧要，不影响使用。

How do I block websites with hosts

Open a DOS command window, type:
notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Windows Vista	=	C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows XP	=	C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K	=	C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98/ME	=	C:\WINDOWS

Put the following line in hosts:
127.0.0.1 www.google.com

File > Save.

Now try to open http://www.google.com with any web browser on the PC.

Remove the line you added from hosts to restore access to the Googl;e
web site

Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine. This only occurs in W2000/XP/Vista. Windows 98 and ME are not affected.

To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"

• Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
• Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
• Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
• Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart. [more info]

When set to Manual you can see that the above "Service" is not needed (after a little browsing) by opening the Services Editor again, scroll down to DNS Client and check the "Status" column. It should be blank, if it was needed it would show "Started" in that column. There are several Utilities that can reset the DNS Client for you ... [more info]

Editors Note: The above instructions are intended for a single (home-user) PC. If your machine is part of a "Domain", check with your IT Dept. before applying this work-around. This especially applies to Laptop users who travel or bring their machines home. Make sure to reset the Service (if needed) prior to connecting (reboot required) to your work Domain ...

JBF sends along this Tip: IPCOP running a DHCP server needs the local PC DNS Client enabled to function.

Reset the DNS Client with a simple batch file (submitted by: Ronny Ong - 2K/XP only)

DnsManual.bat (resets the DNS Client to Manual) [right-click and select: Save Target As]
DnsDisabled.bat (resets the DNS Client to Disabled) [right-click and select: Save Target As]
To use: double-click on the downloaded file and reboot that's it ...

XP Automatic Update Nagging

XP Automatic Update Nagging

Windows XP's automatic update facility is clearly a good thing. Except when an update is installed that requires a reboot and you're working on the computer at the time. Then you get this lovely dialog:

As if I needed another reason to hate dialog boxes. This is perhaps the Naggiest. Dialog. Box. Ever. It can't be dismissed. You get two choices-- Restart Now, or Restart Later. If you click Restart Later, it pops up again ten minutes later, like clockwork. It belongs to wuauclt.exe, part of the Microsoft automatic update provider. I tried killing wuauclt.exe, and like a bad zombie movie, it keeps coming back.

I want automatic updates, but I also want to restart my computer when I feel like it. Is there any way to turn off this incredibly annoying nag dialog? UPDATE: Thanks to the many commenters, we now have at least two ways to disable Mister Naggy McNaggerson:

1. Stop the "Automatic Updates" service.

Navigate to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services:

Right click the Automatic Updates service and stop it. You can also do the same thing at the command line by typing:

net stop wuauserv

After the service is stopped, the nag message stops, too. Then you can reboot when you have time. The service will restart when you reboot.

2. Modify Group Policy settings.

Start, Run "gpedit.msc" to bring up the group policy editor. Then navigate to the folder

Local Computer Policy
 Computer Configuration
   Administrative Templates
     Windows Components
       Windows Update

There are two settings and both will work, so it's your choice. Either enable No auto-restart for schedule Automatic Updates installations or set Re-prompt for restart with scheduled installations to a long time interval, like 1440 minutes.

current security settings put your computer at risk" Information Toolbar Nuisance (Internet Explorer 7 SP2)

For some of the more experienced Internet users, and for those who recently updated to the Internet Explorer version 7, you may be finding yourself tampering with the settings in the browser for security. Unfortunately, Microsoft implemented a new feature to make sure you knew that your security is low (which, on most machines, is a pretty redundant statement). For those who don't like being treated like an adolescent, or for those who are suffering from their browsing because of this bar, here is a simple fix that can be performed using registry editor. (Make sure to back up your windows registry!!!)

1) Click on Start -> Run, type in Regedit.exe, and then click "OK".
2) In the registry editor, go to the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security
3) Right click on the right side of the editor where all of the values are, select New, and select DWord.
4) Type so that the name of your new DWORD is "DisableSecuritySettingsCheck" (no quotes).
5) Double click the registry DWORD that you just created.
6) Type in "1" for the value (no quotes). Press Enter.
7) Close Registry editor, and restart your machine. The changes will take affect after restarting.

*Note* For those of you running Windows XP Pro, you can do this a little differently.

1) Click on Start -> Run, type in GPEDIT.MSC
2) Expand the "User Configuration" Node.
3) Expand the "Administrative Templates" node
4) Expand the "Windows Components" node
5) Click the "Internet Explorer" node
6) In the Settings pane, double click "Turn off the Security Settings Check" feature.
7) Using the UI, set the setting to "Enable"

Get Rid of The Nagging Windows Security Center Icon
The Windows Security Center has been one of the biggest annoyances since the inception of the idea with Windows XP Service Pack 2. Now with Windows Vista™ it is new, improved, and even more annoying than ever before! Untill now, you could not get rid of the icon from your tray.
Here's how to nuke Security Center off your system. This has been tested and there are no adverse effects from doing this.
Go to Start --> Run and type "cmd" without the quotes.
Type "cd\" followed by "cd windows\system32".
Now run the following commands:
takeown /f wscapi.dll
takeown /f wscsvc.dll
takeown /f wscui.cpl
Now you have ownership of the files. Go into the system32 directory in explorer and right click each file, go to the security tab and add an entry for everyone and give them full access permissions.
Disable the Security Center Service via services.msc if you have not already done so.
In the system32 folder rename the three mentioned dll's (change their file extension to .bak).
To get rid of the Security Center service from services.msc drop to a command prompt and type the following:
"REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\WSCSVC /F", hit enter and reboot.
Enjoy no more nagging or icon in your system tray!
