How to set up a secure XP windows home edition w/service pack 2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I don't want to spend the time to learn how to set up all the administration
tools components that include Microsoft Management Console (MMC), security
this and that permissions, etc. I want to be the only user and don't want
other users. Every time I set up a system I get many unauthorized users and
hackers that will always in time bring my system down. I have a $1000.000
Sonicwall router and all the software security firewalls and all and they
always manage to get me. I wish there was a program that would guide you
trogh the installation or easier ways to configure your computer. Microsoft
in their efort to have all markets open to their OS have many open variables
that need to be configured to the needs of particular users. If you miss one
misconfiguration you can open the door to hackers and malicious bugs. Is
there a clear guide to configuring a windows XP home edition.
