This tutorial will help you improve the performance of your Windows XP installation.
The following steps can be applied to both new XP installations or ancient installations, although you will see a bigger difference with older installations.
Over time Windows XP (and the previous generations) built up temporary files that slowed down the machine. Unfortunately not every unneeded file can be removed as it is unknown if it is going to be needed again, but there are certain files that can definately be removed.
This files lurk in the Temp folder within your Windows folder and your Temp folder in your locally stored profile.
Warning: Modifying the registry can cause adverse effects. Skeletorscorpse can not be held liable for any damage you cause to your computer.

This tutorial with guide you through how to change the image on the login screen like the one below: WARNING: Knowledge of the registry is required. 
I have no reason to say why this won't work on Windows 2000 but I don't have a Windows 2000 machine to test it on. With Windows XP SP2, Windows has file protection on which means you can't save over the existing msgina.dll file. This is a good thing as if anything goes wrong you need the original to have a working PC again. You are doing this at your own risk. Skeletorscorpse can not be held liable for any damages. By following this tutorial you are not holding Skeletorscorpse liable. If you do continue there are instructions at the bottom on how to recover Windows with no lost data. It is advisable that you print this information out just in case. |
