How to survive Windows XP
Windows XP was getting leaky, like an old, rotting ghost ship beset by code-eating worms and skulking security monsters. So to exorcise this ship's demons, Microsoft had to purge the ghouls, then patch like never before. Hence, we have the good ship Windows XP SP2, which set sail five months ago.
Anyone who owns a PC can't do without Windows (let's be honest, how many of us will actually spend the time to decipher Linux?), and you're probably as eager to keep hackers, viruses, and Trojan horses as far from your PC as the next guy. But while Windows XP SP2 takes a more proactive defense against viruses, potentially dangerous files, and, of course, stupid human tricks, its new antics are sure to rub longtime Windows users the wrong way. Worse, like every major Windows upgrade--and don't let the name fool you, SP2 is major--it busts some applications.

Windows XP Alternative Tweak Guide
This is not your average Windows XP tweak guide that tells how to defrag your hard drive, check for DMA (which is always on now, by the way), disable startup programs, turn off Windows effects, blah blah. Oh come on, we've all done that and there's nothing new and geeky about those tips. Now, we have to move to other tweaks that actually offer something new and do something useful for a change...
Turn off System Restore
I've never used System Restore to fix any problem in my Windows, ever. If I run into a problem, I try and isolate it, and fix it. If I can't fix it, I reinstall Windows. As simple as that. Along with the problematic settings and files, System Restore also tends to restore other files that may have been updated and could break any application recently installed. If you install/uninstall apps all the time like I do, it's best to keep this thing disabled. But that's not the only reason I prefer to stay away from System Restore. By default, it is set up to use 12% of your disk space, which amounts to over 4 GB on a 40 GB hard drive. Mine is a 160 gig, so... I don't even want to think about it.

Make Windows Start and Stop the Way You Want
Want to run an application each time Windows starts? Easy. Just right-drag its .exe file, or a shortcut to that file, to the Startup folder and choose Create Shortcut(s) Here. The next time you start Windows, the program will load automatically. But what about scanning for viruses, making backups, defragmenting your hard drive, and doing other regular maintenance tasks? You don't want to wait for them to finish every time you start up.
The Scheduled Tasks feature in Windows can run those activities while you're away from your system--but only if you leave your computer on all the time. If you prefer to save power by shutting down your PC every day, tell Windows to do its chores just before it shuts down. Or even better, create a shutdown folder whose contents you can change at will, knowing that Windows will run the items in the folder when it shuts down.
