For additional security, enable the Control+Alt+Delete login screen for XP. Using this is far more secure than the traditional XP login screen due to the fact that no program can intercept CTRL+ALT+DEL. Thus you are protecting yourself from a application (a bad application, could be spyware or a virus) from learning your machine password. |

If you experience a slow boot, you should definitely check to make sure that your Boot Defrag is enabled. |

Working with PDF files has become more and more cumbersome with Adobe. It seems that even Adobe, themselves, recognize this and have added a “speed launcher” add-on that boots with windows and helps open PDFs faster (the catch is you have to have a process running all the time). Well, you don’t have to settle with Adobe anymore, there is another option, Fox-It. Fox-It out performs Adobe in every category. |
