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.
