List??? More like a jumbled mass of words. But posting from CDO what can
you expect. LOL
This would be a list.
*****
1. Adaware.
2. Spybot Search and Destroy.
3. SpywareBlaster.
4. SpywareGuard.
5. Defrag your system.
6. Use the cleanmgr and clean out the garbage.
7. Run chkdsk and let it find and repair missing sectors if there are any.
8. Get a good registry cleaner like the old JV16.
9. Do a search on the internet for ways of speeding up IE.
There are two basic ones.
Increase the MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server .
Stop IE from checking for scheduled tasks on remote computers.
SpeedXP is free and does a marvelous job of tuning about 20 settings in the
registry for maximum
performance. I don't recommend the "clear pagefile on shutdown option
though.
 e:mail me if you can't find the IE tuneups.
System maintenance is a must in XP. Not like the old OS's where it was
important but not "vital".
