Despite all the hoopla about the introduction of Windows Vista, the truth of the matter is that the new OS isn't due for at least another seven to nine months — and it will probably be even longer before most of us start adopting it. Meanwhile, we've still got to deal with Win XP. In order to make the waiting easier, we've decided to assemble the greatest tips in the history of Windows XP. Here you'll find the tips that give you the most bang for your buck; that are most useful in terms of security, functionality, and PC performance; and that are just plain cool.

Useful indeed...

o_jinx · 04-24-2006, 08:13 PM

tbh, that's a pretty crappy article...

What, these are serious tips? I was expecting bullshit. This is less humorous.

Maybe there are some subtle jabs in there when you actually read it.

o_ghost · 04-24-2006, 09:04 PM

Nope, sorry circ. They are actual serious tips. Not everyone out there bashes Microsoft every chance they get.

o_frenchtoast · 04-24-2006, 10:14 PM

To be pedantic, windows key+m is minimize all open windows, Whereas Windows key+d= show desktop. I cant truly fathom the difference, but i assume there is one.

o_yoshura · 04-25-2006, 04:56 PM

ctrl + alt + delete isnt nothing, it opens the Task Manager

o_yoshura · 04-25-2006, 05:01 PM

Win+D will toggle the desktop view. M just minimizes. Win+D > Win+M
