[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb]But a few tips on running a clean Windows XP: - I've shut down all the graphical crap that is turned on by default. Say bye-bye to the Teletubbies skin, and all those nice shifting and fading menus. - Shut down System Repair and Auto-Update. The first one eats up your disk space, the second one is just really annoying. Also shut down the Error Reporting thing. [/qb][/QUOTE]Step 1 makes no difference at all to stability. The more fancy looking, er, look does use a bit more memory and resources, but providing your computer is at least a gig, it won't make much difference. Are you really that desperate for a couple of less miliseconds response times? And as for 2, shutting off System Restore because it takes up disk space is equally daft. Disk space is about a pound a gigabyte. You can easily afford to lose a handful of them, for something that really could save your bacon one day. Auto-update, you can take or leave, really. Depends on whether you have a broadband connection, and can be bothered wandering along to the Windows web-site to update it yourself. It does use resources, but the more powerful your computer is, the less relevent that becomes. If you do want to use IE, then download the google toolbar from, er, google. Because there's no reason not to, really. And it's handy and blocks pop-ups. [/QB][/QUOTE]
