Advice on Project.

[Thor]

Dear frnds,
I am a 3rd computer science Engg. student.I am thinking abt doing a project.
I am thinking of developing a tool using c++ which does the following:
1>Applies various (*) tweaks to windows XP using the Registry
2>Tells which s/w are installed in the pc
3>Tells item in the startup
4> does othr various small things one can never do in XP without going berserk with it.

is this acceptable as a project?
Thx.

An academic project is not just developing another software tool. The project scenario should be applicable to broader mass. If you are a WBUT student ,this scenario will be difficult to be accepted as a project. So be careful before proceeding further because if it is rejected at an advance stage, your effort so far will go in vain. you can PM me for further suggessions.

NIT durgapur is a renowed inst.
how can u think of setting up a project work like this in ur college project submission??
choose ur project which is not widely available on the internet as a download
It should meet specific requirements.
And damn these win Xp tweaking S/Ws are in thousands......

2.project completion certificate from HOD & Guide.
3. Content
4.Abstract
5. Preliminary investigation
6. Feasibility analysis(Technical, Functional & operational).
7.Literature Survey
8.Hardware & Software requirements.
9.SRS
10.System Design(Top Level Flow chart & DFDs)
11. Database Design
12. Detailed design( 2nd level DFD and Flow Charts)
13.Algorithms/Coding.
14. Output Screens
15.Testing and Validation
16.Implementation
17. conclusion
18.Bibliography
19.Future Enhancement
