Windows XP keeps a record of all files on the hard disk so when you do a search on the hard drive it is faster. There is a downside to this and because the computer has to index all files, it will slow down normal file commands like open, close, etc.
To turn this feature off:

Open My Computer.

Right-click your hard drive icon and select Properties.

At the bottom of the window you'll see "Allow indexing service to index this disk for faster searches," uncheck this and click ok.

A new window will pop up and select Apply to all folders and subfolders.

It will take a minute or two for the changes to take affect but then you should enjoy slightl faster performance.

Magnifying desktop objects:

With [Windows key] + [U], you can directly open he Utility Manager that offers access to a screen magnifier and screen keyboard.

Displaying installed programs:

Type �regsvr32appwiz.cpl� at the command prompt if the list of installed programs does not show under XP.

Ingenious way of renaming files:

When you select several file entries and change the name of the first one, Windows XP and Vista give the other files consecutive numbers.

Displaying network connections:

You can access the network and connections that have been set up on any machine under Vista and XP with �Start | Run� and the �ncpa.cpl� line command.

Quicker start for programs:

The registry value �0� for �MenuShow Delay� in the �HKEY_ CURRENT_USER\ ControlPanel\Desktop� registry key makes the Start menu faster under XP.

Quicker copying under xp:

There is a �Yes for all� button but no "No for all". Keep the [Shift] key pressed when clicking �No� in any file copy dialog box. This ensures that your decision is used for all files being copied.

Prevent irritating system error messages saying �Out of memory�.

The system intermediate memory, �Desktopheap�, which is too small by default, is probably responsible for this. Windows uses the heap for managing the open applications. There are problems if too many windows are open.
The size of the heap is defined in the registry, independent of the main and virtual memory. Increase the value to use more programs at the same time.

Start the registry editor �Start --> Run-->regedit�

Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> System->CurrentControlSet->Control -> Session Manager->SubSystems.

Double-click the �Windows� entry on the right side.

Look for the �SharedSection� parameter in the long character string.

It determines the system and desktop heap in this format: SharedSection-xxxx,yyyy

Increase the smaller value (yyyy) for the heap per desktop by 256 or 512 KB to prevent the annoying error messages from showing.

Restart the system
