Here is an excellent guide to follow for tweaking your Home or Pro version of XP.

I was directed to that link this morning, by Chelle who, by the way, doesn’t have a blog anymore and I’m going through some serious wildheartwithdrawl. Bitch.

    You know, Mac OS X is very “tweakable” also :-)

    That’s some awesome stuff, Lisa and yes, I also run a Mac OS X box…but then I don’t have to tweak it to the degree that the Micro$oft box(s)(all 5 of them)requires…

    Ooh! I haven’t been to that link in a long time. He’s got New Stuff. This is very cool.

    Lisa, I hope you have a good firewall running, yes? And you’ve disabled Universal Plug’n'Pray (er…) play?

    Here’s another invaluable site: http://www.grc.com. Do not walk, run over there! :)

    Wow - you guys are real geeks, aren’t you? ;)

    I’m not all that geeky - but I do like a smooth running OS - the only Linux I’m interested in running is already on my webserver box :)

    Casey - when I do a fresh install - complete with reformatting - my number one priority is to load up my Zone Alarm. And yea - I disabled the Plug & Pray. And thank you for the link - I’m running (sprinting) over to it right now :)

    By the way I’m testing your site with Lindows 4.5 and their version of Mozilla (1.5) and everything seems to be working fine. FWIW. :)

    Cross-browser compatibility. Cool :) I had tested it in FireFox and Netscape, but good to know it works elsewhere too. Thanks! :)
