When you connect to another computer with Windows XP, it checks for any Scheduled tasks on that computer - a fairly useless task, but one that can add up to 30 seconds of waiting on the other end - not good! Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to disable this process.
First, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace
in the Registry. Below that, there should be a key called {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}. Just delete this, and after a restart, Windowswill no longer check for scheduled tasks - major performance improvement!

Get ip address of anyone you have a connection with or that is trying to Connect to you
Now how to look at this can be confusing unless you know what your looking for. If you have a instant message program such as "aim" and you direct connect to someone you have a "established connection" with them. So using this cmd command you can view their ip.
Usually the port number is "4443" and i noticed sometimes it doesn't work so i am guessing it is because that the person has a firewall. So here is the script.
open notepad and enter the following:
@echo.
@color 09
@netstat -n
@echo.
@pause
then save as "GetIp.cmd" and when opened you will view all established connections.

Disable Shutting Down in Windows XP
You can prevent users from being able to shut down the computer. This might be useful in cases such as when you’re running a server and you don’t want anyone to shut it down inadvertently.
Navigate to:
HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
And to:
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
In these locations, create or modify the DWORD value called NoClose and set it to 1. Reset it to 0 to enable shutting down.
Log out and log back in, or restart Windows, for the change to take effect.
