    Here is a url for microsoft powertoys. These are tweaks for Windows XP which add additional functionality. Included on this page is the famed Tweak UI, and yes, it is compatible with winxp.

    If you ever get done I'll mirror a copy, that tweak guide is great as it is, even if it is old, I was thinking of mirroring a copy anyways just to keep it up from whenever the google cache goes down.

    I shant poke MonsE directly. I shall <a href='http://www.little-gamers.com/index.php?strip_id=204' target='_blank'>poke one of the Microsoft Lawyer Ninjas under his control</a> until he agrees to tell MonsE to update it.

    Hopefully MonsE will be able to hear the request from inside his Bill Gates 1 Mecha suit. (Ninja are rather quiet people, you know)

    [edit]That's right. Not only did I just poke a ninja, I used the word "shant" in the process. That's got to be some sort of triple word bonus or something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    2 questions from an XP nub (no flaming please).

    <b>1):</b> In regards to setting your page file size as a multiple of your physical memory, does this refer to your RAM or what?

    <b>2):</b> How often do you need to defrag? Is once every 10 days to 2 weeks to often? Can any harm come from defragging TO often? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You guessed correctly, physical memory = RAM.
    As far as I'm aware, the only harm that can come from defragging is that you're making the hard drive do something, and over the course of multiple <i>years</i> constant activity <i>may</i> increase the risk of the drive having a mechanical failure on the inside. It just makes logical sense when you have the equivalent of a wheel turning a whole lot of times within close proximity to a needle. Then again, defragging more often means that each time it defrags, it has less work to do. Once every one or two weeks is fine for my purposes.

    I'd like to set my pagefile size correctly and will attach a screenie of my Virtual Memory. The "minimum and maximum" is throwing me off here as I see no minimum.

    Set "initial size" and "maximum size" both to 2560MB. But if possible you should do it on a harddrive that doesn't have the OS installed on it. This should all be covered in the guide. Which I will upload a .doc of just so people don't use the google cache.

    Yes, you would still get benefits from it now. But that only works if its actually on annother disk, not just annother partition.
