I've had XP since it's release and have tweaked and hacked
it to shreds. The only program I found that actually sets
the registry to optimal configuration is SpeedXP. It
honest to goodness works and I'll be damned but it's free.
Now mind you it doesn't do anything that you can't do
yourself with a little knowledge and the will to enter the
abyss of the registry and tweak away. It does however put
a couple of dozen optimizing tweaks in one easy to use UI.
The only thing I don't recommend is the "clear pagefile on
shutdown" This overwrites the pagefile with zeros and can
add a lot of time to your shutdown. Unless you are really
paranoid and are planning the overthrow of your Government
or some terrorist stuff I would leave this option
unchecked. Have fun.
