Tweak UI for Windows XP.. version 2.10.0.0.. repair screen.. it is quite
obvious..

Some of your other points are entirely subjective, and while they may bother
you, to others it is 'no problem'..

Also, you are not obliged to use Windows or any components of Windows if you
do not like them..

For my part, I have XP and a variety of other apps, MS and others, that run
perfectly well and do all that I require of them.. there are plenty more out
there who feel the same way as I do..
