Installing without Infection

I'm getting a new laptop and I'm going to need to install some things on it. It already comes with Windows XP Home, so no need to install an OS. I'm getting it from Dell so they have some programs given to us.

Win Explorer: How to Safe Workspace (Same Folders Extend on Open Each Time)

JungleWriter

How do I save my workspace in Windows Explorer (XP Home, SP1), so that the same folders always extend when I open WinExplorer, and the same folders stay retracted? (Windows is sooo anti-individualistic and anti-customization ;( , it’s hard to believe in an age where individualism is one of our society’s highest values.

Increase multi-tasking performance on W2K?

Curley_Boy

I was wondering how I can improve multi-tasking performance in Windows 2000. I like to have a lot of applications open, and whilst the system remains stable, performance (and switching between tasks) drops when more than a few resource hogging programs are opened.

Does anyone know of a way to pare down the W2K OS? We build machines that are part of a SCADA solution and we just don't need all the drivers, multimedia, etc. stuff that comes with the standard install of W2K.

Printer default settings

jasonmountjoy

Anyone have any idea on how to adjust the default settings XP gives a printer when it is installed. As I install loads and loads of printers very regularly, it's a pain in the butt having to reset all the options to A4 from Letter every time a new printer is installed or mapped to.

RAID 0 questions

tsonta101

Hello people, I am thinking of setting up a SATA RAID 0 on my Gigabyte 8IK1100. I know it's a software RAID (the integrated ichr5 can do RAID 0 with winxp), but I still want to try. So, when I'll have two SATA disks, I will hook them up on the 1st and 2nd SATA connectors.

MSN Blocker

Hey, ages ago I downloaded a little utility that you could run on a computer and it would block chat programs like MSN, Yahoo, AIM. . . it would simply stop them running on a computer. To turn it off again you just ran the application again and it switched off.
