Windows XP is the latest desktop software from Microsoft. There are thousands of tips.

Microsoft also publishes it's own list. Check it Out

Kelly's Korner is very detailed. XP from A to Z. Check it Out

One of our favorite tips fro Kelly's is DISABLE ZIP files as folders. Windows XP uses a poorly designed ZIP file handling routine, and we all get tired of a zip looking like a folder (it's not of course) -

Click Start/Run, enter the string below, and click OK:
             regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll

You should receive a dialog that says "DllUnregisterServer in zipfldr.dll succeeded."  To restore the default behavior, simply do the same with this string: 
            regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

We could go on all day about Kelly's Tips., but here is just two more we have to tell you about.

Icons - Remove Text (some icons don't need text under them)

Transparent text under icons - Right click the Icon/Rename and type in: ALT+0160

Icons - Rename [ cool, we can have a Icon name 'flush me' :)  ]

With the icon you want to rename selected, press the F2 key. Type the new name, then press Enter.
