Windows XP Top 10 “How Do You” Tricks and Tips

As a Mac guy over the years I have had a disdain for PCs. I have owned one only to check my work on Windows Explorer, or as I refer to it Windoz Exploder, and to run the antiquated PC-only programs. I guess Longhorn, I mean Microsoft OS X, I mean Mojave, oh yeah that’s it, it’s called Vista, has created some respect for Windows XP.

So now as the year 2008 is coming to a close I am going to post a Microsoft Windows XP Series.

How do you:

1. Permanently set your flash drive’s default AutoPlay action.
2. Tweak Windows Explorer to open in the directory of your own choosing
3. Add image thumbnails to a folder in Windows Explorer.
4. Configure Windows Explorer to display Windows XP disk drives.
5. Install Microsoft Management Console 3.0 for Windows XP SP2.
6. Copy my desktop themes to other Windows XP computers.
7. Retrieve information for multiple Windows XP disk drives.
8. Manage your most frequently used programs list on your XP Start menu.
9. Place your applications into a tabbed user interface with WinTabber.
10. Use photos in Windows XP’s 3D Flying Objects.

During the next few weeks I will be revealing each one of the “how do you” Windows XP Top Ten Tips and Tricks posts listed above.

Late,
Gary Pool
