Annoyed with Windows XP’s built-in Zip support? Now there’s a way to turn it off.
By default, Windows XP treats ZIP files like folders. If you’re not familiar with ZIP files, this can be convenient. However, if you’ve already got a utility in place to manage your ZIP files (such as WinZip), this new feature can just get in the way. For example
Open a Command Prompt window and leave it open. Close all open programs. Click Start, Run and enter TASKMGR.EXE Go to the Processes tab and End Process on Explorer.exe. Leave Task Manager open. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory the AVI (or other undeletable file) is located in. At the command prompt
When you use Msconfig and then reboot, you will have that stupid Selective startup screen appear… Majorly annoying… Download and install this file. It will stop that from appearing….

When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth, this is obvious. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that tcp/ip really deals with, not words.
This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although WinXP and win2000 has a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size.
This tweak is for broadband cable connections on stand alone machines with winXP professional version – might work on Home version also. It will probably work with networked machines as well but I haven’t tried it in that configuration. This is for windows XP only. Bhad Bhabie height
Have you been experiencing random crashes in Windows XP or Windows 2000, and you can’t find any reason for them? Windows XP and Windows 2000 are both supposed to be (and typically are) much more stable than Windows 9x/Me, but there are still things that can bring down the entire system in a heartbeat, displaying the BSD (Blue Screen of Death) or simply restarting. Go over this checklist and see if any of these apply to you.
Sometimes when connected to a LAN the boot time can take a few minutes. Load times shouldn’t be anywhere near that! Signs of this include the system seemingly freezes after logging in, your desktop showing up but for some reason you just can’t click on anything or run things for a minute or two. This can be traced back to mrxsmb.dll by using bootvis.exe. This can of course be a number of other things but most of the time it’s your file and printer sharing.
To disable unneeded startup services for a safer, faster XP, use the “Services” Admin Tool (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). If you are a single user of a non-networked machine, you can disable the following items, with no ill effect.
You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers when you open Windows explorer. To stop XP from doing this follow the instructions below.
