Hi Gallaeglagh!

Here are some other ones too if you really want to drive yourself nuts like I do. :D

Tweak XP (http://tweakxp.com/tweakxp/)
WinXP News (http://www.winxpnews.com/)
ExtremeTech (http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,1437,00.asp) (Has a lot of other stuff besides XP)
Black Viper (http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/winxp.htm) (For the seriously obsessed tweaker:D )
More "XP Tips" (http://www.tipsdr.com/windows-xp-tips.html) (From I think Mitch-Forgive me if I got that wrong)


There was another that was really good called "XP-Erience.org" but I left the link out because they have been down a couple of days.

Anyway, there's a bunch more, but between yours and mine that should be enough to mess something up!:D

This site is the biggest I have seen for Xp hyperlinks to tons of other sites. http://www.funwithxp.com/

Mark
That looks like a great link.

[jabarnutcase]

Yes, a great bunch of links! :)

On to some other tweaks, I know you are probably all familiar with Power Toys (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp) , and one of them I really like is "Tweakui", but for the heck of it, I just downloaded "Image resizer" in power toys and, although limited, it's kind of cool for a quick resize.

You just right-click on an image in your pics, and select resize.
Oh, and by the way, welcome to http://www.pcguide.com/ubb/pcgubb.gif forums cooleyaf!

oops- Didn't mean to steal your intro wyzmn :eek: :) :D

Jabar,
If you really like the resizer in power toys check this out.

www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2C4149%2C158561%2C00.asp

If you remember the tools from the old ie explores[4,5], then you will love these. brings back zoom in zoom out on any graphic found in ie6.

After download, just right click on any pic or graphic and full menu pops up.
