    One of my favorite "tweaks" is one that removes the annoying (IMO) boot logo that loads when windows starts Disabling the Boot Logo You can remove the boot logo that appears when you start Windows XP. This little tweak probably shaves only a few seconds off your boot time but seconds count if you are serious about trying to get Windows XP up and running as quickly as possible. The only negative is that if you remove the boot logo, you will also not see any boot messages, such as check disk. (But if you are not having problems with your computer, this isn't such a big deal.) To remove the boot logo, follow these steps: 1. Select Start/Run, type msconfig, and click OK. 2. In the System Configuration Utility, click the BOOT.INI tab. 3. On the BOOT.INI tab, click the NOGUIBOOT check box option. Click OK.

    Running in "Classic" mode. Also known as, "the only way to get things done in a non-idiotic fashion" mode. Also, on some older and less capable machines, I like to "adjust for best performance" and leave the "use visual styles" radio button checked. Most people don't even notice the visual difference but tend to notice that it's "snappier".
