Explorer.exe might be bogged up if you're using lots of modifications to your appearance - MSSTyles, etc.

That Cooling fan looks useless, TBH. You'd be better off picking up some fans off of some surplus store or whatever. If you really need to cool your PC, Zalman makes some very nice CPU fans - quiet and super-efficient (not to mention good looking!)

This is a feature of CCleaner. Uncheck if you don't want the 'Recently Used Programs' list cleared.

lol. you tried to crack it

Official XP Power Toys list Very useful stuff here, first and foremost TweakUI. There's also Alt+Tab replacement, a thumbnail preview for the Alt Tab buttons, an image resizer.

This program works very well as a startup manager. Here is a link with a review and brief instructions, which you can also find on the main site.

Well I'll have to say you have me completely at a loss - I had absolutely no idea that you could do that! But, some searching has revealed a promising link. Unfortunately, I'm used to a nVidia setup, so I'm only half-useful here. See if the link (it's an old review, but same concept, really) will give you any answers.

Here is a short report on the WD Hard drives; I think yours should be in there somewhere? Regardless it's a very quiet, very high-performance, and very expensive (I wish I had one =/) drive.

I used to have an error with Foxit, causing it to use 100% CPU even after it was closed. Hope they fixed that bug, because this program is insanely useful

Yeeeeeeeeah... 14 seconds would be insane.

14 Seconds? Mine's about 41 (and that's pretty good!) Are you using a 10kRPM Drive/ iRAM drive?? What optimizations did you do your boot?

That is very weird. But I suppose it would help when I forget (neglect, really) to practice for my band class

I've been using it and it's fine for me - except that it keeps checking all my extensions beforehand, which is rather annoying. Other than that I like the new look.

Rumshot not working for me =/

Unfortunately, the majority of the labels are going to be extremely generic: man, thing, picture....

I'm assuming Phoneserver is a VOIP app? You could try running it through a proxy if it doesn't accept your phone sites at home.

Hmm... Man, red, blue, white, picture xD

Hey, it is pretty interesting... only right now it seems full of n00bs who don't guess... I was with this one guy and he actually submitted stuff - 2100 points What an easy way to get people to do grunt work!

www.mlin.net StartupCPL, very very useful program. I actually used this program and still do, not just a Google result.

I wish it was that fast This speed test has a flashier interface than Broadband Reports and Speakeasy, it's pretty nice.

Eh... I'm scared of Vista ever since my friend installed the Beta - it screwed up his master boot record. We eventually got it fixed, but in the process we had to use 4 different computers and format 2 hard drives, along with trying every possible combination of "VISTA SCREWED THE PC" into Google. I guess if it's a release candidate, then it would be significantly (?) more stable. I think for now, though, I'll stick with Vista msstyles.

Err... no comment. Did they say how much money MySpace gets per song?
