Windows XP (Part 2)
   
 

This month we take a look at another three tips and tricks for Windows XP.

Tip 1 - Change the programs that start when Windows starts

Speed Windows boot up by stopping unnecessary programs from starting in the boot up sequence. Click Start/Run/ and type msconfig. This brings up the System Configuration Utility window. Click on the Startup tab to see a list of all the programs slated to start when you boot up Windows. Click the check mark next to any you don't want, and then click OK to save your choices.

Tip 2 - Type With an Onscreen Keyboard

Whether you have trouble with your hands or you just prefer using the mouse, typing with Windows' onscreen keyboard can be a great convenience. Navigate to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility, and click "On-Screen Keyboard." Click OK to clear the dialogue box and then start "typing"—you can even change the settings to "press" keys just by hovering your mouse over the letter you want (enable this feature by selecting "Typing Mode" from the Settings menu).

Tip 3 - No-wait Screen Savers

Don't want to wait for your screen saver to kick in? Create a shortcut to it just as you would for any other program by hitting Windows key + F to search your computer and click on "All files and folders." Type "*.scr" in the "All or part of the file name" field to find every screen saver file on your computer. In the resulting list, right-click and drag the screen saver you want to your desktop. Whenever you want it to start, just double-click its icon.
