When all users are logged out. This screen has a button on bottom left to
"turn of computer." How can this text be changed? My daughters computer has
the text "Turn off Keltic Dragon." she does not know how or when she did
this. It's driving me mad trying to figure it out.

You can do this by giving a Description to your computer. To do this, follow
the instructions:

1. Right-Click on My Computer - choose Properties
2. Click Computer Name tab and type a Description

The Description which you will type will appear on "Turn Off......."

If the post was helpful to you then let us know!

Keltic Dragon is probably the computer name.

Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties"

Click on "Computer Name" tab and look at the entry named "Computer
Description"

But if you are on a network then other computers will recognise yours
by this description so before you change it make sure you know what
you are doing.

Sorry. But I read somewhere that if you are not using memory intensive
application then you may turn off virtual memory. because addressing
instructions from pagefile to memory and vise versa waste a little bit of
time. may be this apply to older window versions not windows xp. As today I
was reading an article on pagefile then i see that windows xp support 4gb
physical memory and 4gb pagefile no matter how much physical memory is
installed.
