We hate those pop-up hints & tips. So lets tweak in the registry.

Start/run and type in "regedit". Hack your way down to:

HKEY_USERSDefaultControlPaneldesktop

Look for the "UserPreferencemask". Double click it and up comes a panel showing 8 digits. Change the first two digits to 3e and press OK.

It is easy enough to make a copy of your registry before you start by copying it all or exporting it all to a folder you use to save items. Now for the real Windows XP Pro tips & tweaks.

Basically improving Windows XP comes down to stopping Windows XP continually accessing your hard drive, memory & stopping other so-called enhancements of Windows XP Pro from working that you do not use or need.

10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Second to none...
So far the services you provide are second to none. Keep up the good work.
