Re: windows xp! im bored!

There are visual tweek programs but using them slows down the computer and some are full of viruses and faults. They also costs. You could try free cursors and you could also download a hacked explorer.exe and change the toolbar to downloaded themes. (risky)

Re: windows xp! im bored!

When I think of tweaks, I think of registry edits (which can be a bit risky at times).

But, if you're not afraid to edit the registry; I believe there is a registry edit that makes IE run faster; I've tried it myself before, and it works to some degree (you can probably find it online in a YouTube tutorial and try it out yourself if you're interested).  smile

I'm not experienced with this type of stuff. How exactly do you do that?
