Windows keeps track of which items you access from the Start menu or the Internet Explorer Favorites menu, hiding the items you have not accessed recently while keeping all of your items easily accessible. Most people find this option most annoying to work with.

If you have Office XP and Office 2003 you can create Text Searchable Tiff images for Free. Microsoft's Document Imaging is a component of Microsoft's Office XP Suite that allows for the creation of Text Searchable Tiff images. Although it is included with Office XP and Office 2003 it does not automatically install as part of the basic installation. This is an important feature that many people are not aware of and it can be used with a copier that has a scan option.

Resatrting windows is often necessary after installing an application or making other changes. You can do this in Windows 95/98/ME by selecting Restart from the Shut Down Windows box, holding down the Shift key, and clicking Yes. This performs a warm restart, much faster than a complete reboot.

If your Windows XP doesn't shut down as fast as you'd like, one alternative might help.
Right click a blank area on your desktop, click New|Shortcut and in the Create Shortcut Wizard's Type the Location of the Item box, type the following exactly without quotes: "shutdown -s -t 0". (Make sure there is a space before each hyphen and that is a numeric character at the end.)
Click Next and in the Type a Name for This Shortcut box, enter "shutdown" or some descriptive title and click Finish.
You may now use that shortcut on your desktop for a fast shut down, made even faster of course if you don't have any programs running when you click on it.

Here are a few tips to save time.

1. Boot Time: How much time does your computer take to start? It should start in less than 2 minutes.
   a) System Tray: Check the icons in the system tray. Try to find an option and deselect the checkbox next to "Automatically start when windows start".
   b) You may also choose Properties when you right click on "My Computer" and select "Advanced" Tab to change the Startup and recovery setting.
2. Confirm Delete: If you click on "YES" every time your computer ask you, "Do you really really want to delete?", think of getting rid of the "Display delete confirmation" checkbox. Right click on "Recycle Bin" and choose "Properties" to change the setting. If you delete a file by mistake, you can still go to Recycle bin and right click on the deleted file to recover it.
3. Create Shortcuts: You can easily create keyboard shortcuts for the frequently used programs. Right click on shortcuts on the desktop (a curved arrow) and choose properties. Click in the Shortcut key field and type any key on the keyboard, for e.g. 'e' for Internet Explorer, 'y' for Yahoo Messenger and so on. If the shortcut icon is not available on the desktop, you can easily create one by clicking and dragging using the right mouse button. You can also decide if the application will open in maximized window or a normal window.
