Windows XP can look a bit boring, but with these tips and tricks you can customize your Windows XP according to your needs or you can make it as fancy as you want. They are easy to do, so read below to learn the how to’s.
To customize your Start Menu, right click your Start button and left click on the Properties. You can now choose if you want the new-style Start menu for Windows XP or the old 2000 version. You also have the option to cascade the windows or arrange them horizontally or vertically.
If you want your welcome screen turned off, go to Start Menu, Control Panel then User Accounts, Change the Way Users Log On or Off. Now, you can either uncheck the Welcome Screen to change it or not. It is recommended that you uncheck this option though for maximum security. You only have to type in your user account name to gain access to your account.
The Clean Desktop Now button can be very useful in avoiding clutter on your desktop screen with icons that you do not use. Once you click this button, it will ask you if you want to remove those unused icons or not. It is your choice if you want to leave them as it is or clean your screen up.
