Performance and Maintenance?

I have WinXP SP1 with all updates.

Recently, I have been reading this newsgroup and have been following various
instructions just to see how they work. I'm not making any changes because
my computer always seems to be running smooth. But I have noticed that many
posters are telling others to go to "Control Panel\Performance and
Maintenance" to adjust settings. When I go to "Control Panel", "Performance
and Maintenance" isn't there. I did some poking around and went to "My
Computer\Properties" and choose "Advanced" and then "Performance Options". I
then selected "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" and then went
back to "Control Panel". I then had to switch to "Category View" and that's
when I saw "Performance and Maintenance". I normally have my desktop set to
"Windows Classic View" and so is my start menu.

Should I be seeing a "Performance and Maintenance" icon in "Control Panel"
while using "Windows Classic View"?

Thanks,

Ken

I do believe you answered your own question.
Nothing is amiss, you do not 'see' "Performance
and Maintenance" in classic view, only category
view. You still can get everything from classic
view, just differently --- User choice --- some
like, some don't

Thanks for the quick response. I just wanted to make sure. I wonder if it
may be better to instruct others in a way that everyone can get to the same
place no matter what "View" they have. However, it wasn't too much trouble
to change things to see what others are talking about and I learned
something in the process.

Thanks,

Start Menu can open CP or show it as a menu. Menu is non category view.

Okay, let me try this. Where do I go to choose "Display as a link"?

I understand that I can choose to have "Control Panel" expand in the Start
Menu, but how does that affect whether or not I can see "Performance and
Maintenance" on "Control Panel"? All I need to do is choose "Use common
tasks in folders" under "System Properties\Advanced\Performance
Options\Visual Effects" and then "Switch to Category View" on the "Control
Panel" window. It doesn't matter if I have "Expand Control Panel in Start
Menu" chosen. Even though it expands when I hover the mouse curser over
"Control Panel" in the "Start Menu", I can still double click it.

It's very possible that I have misunderstood something, so please bear with
me. I don't think you or Kelly understood that the reason why I didn't see
"Performance and Maintenance" originally, is because I didn't have "Use
common tasks in folders" chosen. I understand that it's also necessary to
have "Switch to Category View" chosen too, but there is no option for that
if "UCTIF" isn't selected.

Thanks,

Ken McDonald

Goodness. If I have created a mountain out of a molehill, please accept my
apology. That is the last thing I want to do. You are correct David, I don't
have a problem with my computer. The procedure that I followed wouldn't work
and that's what concerned me.

Thanks,

Ken McDonald
