Well I just reformatted after I got my replacement motherboard and video card. Just sortin **** around right now and am wondering what else I should get? Any little programs out there I should get for it? An example of what I am looking for would be this:

A while back on NTCompatible I found a program that let you uninstall/install everything on xp. Now this included letting me actually uninstall windows messager and other little shitty things that I could always remove in 9x. Now being months later I dont have those links.

So what should I get?

Also where is that clear type tweak page?

I can't think of it, but I do know of a nice way to disable a bunch of stuff, including that POS Windows Messenger.

Type "gpedit.msc" (no quotes) into the line from the run box. Under Admininstrative Templates, you'll have a bunch of options on what to disable.

I think your talking about editing your sysoc.inf open up this file. It is in your Windows\Inf directory, then change all the words HIDE to nothing. Then you can un/install more stuff.
