Hi *TDP* :
> This may help people that have problems with the cursed SP2.
When you have a Windows Xp without problems before the installation of the
sp2 most of the time you have no problem with this service pack
The fact is that a majority of windows xp users had installed the sp2 with
non problem...and no more problem after the installation.

That's a good idea... ( but only for an advanced user like you Sir.)
> 2.. Turning off Automatic Updates, System Restore & the Windows Firewall
Yes for the automatic updates and Windows FW (IF you have a third party FW
only)
No : disabling system restore can put you in a big trouble.
Sometimes a system restore is the only way to get out of a nightmare...
How can you justify this ? Performances ? Disk Space ?

Then OK ... for the trouble...
There is a lot of way to increase the preformances
but stopping your "life insurrance" is not a part of
the good performances tweaks...
> The Windows Firewall is poor.
Not really true with the new W xp sp2 FW.
Combined with System Safety Monitor and FireLogXP v1.3
you have a very acceptable FW (Free).
But it.s also true that a good third party FW is a better solution
if you know the software and it's correctly configured.
Thank you for your post.
Remember that W xp must be a system for everybody
not only "geek" ;-)
Have a nice day TDP :-)
