thats prolly it but I hav no use for it as I hav 256K and XP should be using this
tnx anyhow Same goes for those videocard settings? Maybe I got xtra FPS because of the better use in L2cache? disabling mesenger with gpedit gave me an xtra 10mb free (mesenger kept loading without showing its face even after I ended the process it would load again) I'm now donw to 115mb for xp pro and little over 20mb is from norton 2k3 and powerstrip I'm happy now , xp is using less then 100mb ram So I'm doing the same thing for my dad laptop wich has xp home and only 128mb ram (yea I know i told him) gpedit doesnt seem te work so how do I disable mensenger in home? and last but not least : Use active desktop to save memory used by wallpapers: When you choose a wallpaper using the standard method (selecting a background on the desktop tab, in the properties window), Windows converts this image to a huge .bmp file (even if you selected a .jpg). Then instead of having a nice 220K wallpaper, you get a 3,15MB wallpaper. To get rid of this, try using active desktop's web capabilities, like this: 1. Right click on your desktop and select "properties", then select the "desktop" tab. 2. Click on "Customize Desktop". 3. Select the "Web" tab and click on "New..." 4. Browse for your favorite image and click OK when you are done. 5. Make sure "Lock desktop items" is uncheck. 6. Click OK, and OK again. 7. Now your image is like another window. Drag it to where you want and then right clik over it. 8. Select "arrange icons by" and the check "Lock Web Items on Desktop". 9. That's it. Now you have a "low memory usage wallpaper". With this you can make interesting things, like using various small wallpapers, or even animated ones!! (you can select an animated .gif too!!). Simply select various images, and when you click OK, drag all them to its right location, and lock the content again. Last edited by Tum0r; Dec 6, 2003 at 01:48 AM. |

I tried the Desktop wall paper thing, and it worked. However the text in all my shortcuts looks like its highlighted and I cant get rid of it. I think I know why, but I dunno how to fix it. I set my actual wall paper to none, and whatever background color I select is "highlighting" the text. I seem to have to select some color to use I think what i need is like a transparent background color or something?

open up the System Properties, Start ->Run... and type sysdm.cpl and hit enter key,
click on Advanced tab -> Performance, Visual effects, click Settings, check "Use drop shadows for icon lables on the desktop", and see if this helps. |

Thats the first thing i checked was the drop shadows and they were on. Thats what it looks like though when you use regular wallpaper w/o drop shadows.

Desktop icons and icon labels may not display background transparency or the drop shadow effect in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;305117

i don't think there's a way to make the drop shadow effect icon on a page or image that you use it as desktop wallpaper. i disabled the active desktop, but will enable it later and check it out.

i saw what you've tried to do, you display a desktop content (which's an image) on your desktop. and therefore that desktop content turns on the active desktop feature. i don't know how to make the desktop icons to look the way you wanted. nwih i'll be able to figure this out myself. so pls share whatever you'll find out after.

Some of these tweak are ok but just do not over do them. If you go to www.tweakhound.com some of these can hurt your system performance or have no evidence of any improvement. But so not mess with your registry unless if you know what what you are doing. I would recommend that you do some research at www.tweakhound.com and check out www.tweakxp.com

Yes it does but not in all cicumstances,,Unloading dll directly after program exit releases memory area releated with DLL.This keeps memory clean and defragmented.But if you run a program frequently than this causes a slowdown because DLL needs to be loaded every start of program

Customize Windows Explorer startup view
1. Click Start, point to Programs, then Accessories, then right–click Windows Explorer, and click Properties.
