    Educate me on Binary to Hexadecimal Conversion

    I'm working on disabling all the Advanced networking components so that I can have the old networking style. Could someone tell me what registry value I should use for the hexidecimal entry to set all the bits to 1? (111111) Would I just enter "FF" as the data for a hexidecimal base?

    Yes.

    0000 = 0
    0001 = 1
    0010 = 2
    0011 = 3
    0100 = 4
    0101 = 5
    0110 = 6
    0111 = 7
    1000 = 8
    1001 = 9
    1010 = A
    1011 = B
    1100 = C
    1101 = D
    1110 = E
    1111 = F

      or decimal 255

        Hexidecimal in Windows applications are typically shown in 8-bit blocks. Just take HJ's binary to hex conversion table and split the 8-bit block into two. So...

        11100101 = 1110 0101 = E5

        And remember that binary is figured out from right-to-left in powers of 2 (2^x):

        Base ten number: 8 4 2 1
        Bit position: 4 3 2 1

        Which makes 11111111 = FF = 255.

            BTW, hex is from right to left in powers of 16, decimal is from right to left in powers of ten, etc. Now you know everything to convert from any format into any other. Or just google for 0b11111111 in hex
