Link: Windows XP: The 15 minute Windows XP tune-up - Lifehacker. Hey, buddy, got 15 minutes to spare? Of course you do, and you don't want to spend it with a sluggish, bloated Windows XP machine. More of us are keeping our XP computers. We finally have them working right, and we don't want to pay exorbitant sums to Microsoft for Vista. We also don't want to endure the pain of a Windows OS upgrade. I would rather have a root canal, thank you very much. But, after using any system for a while, the flotsam and jetsam gums up the works, and you have OS sludge. What to do? Well, take that 15 minutes and work through the suggestions in this post at Tweak3d.net. You'll be glad you did.
