Thanx Mac. Had been using WinXP for a month or so and visited many of these. But definitely never had collected the links. Good compendium.

Thanx again.

It's pretty cool, but mine expired. It still runs, but everytime Windows boots, a registration box opens that I have to close every single time. Kinda like how everytime you launch WinZip that little window opens before you actually get to WinZip.

You should also check out <a href="http://xp-refresh.net" target="_blank">http://xp-refresh.net</a> for information about the biggest limitation in Windows XP. It describes the problem and tells you how you can write to MS about getting it fixed...
