		<description><![CDATA[File indexing is a Windows service that like many others, is totally useless &#8211; unless you do a lot of searching on your computer. As most users don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s a good idea to disable it to speed up actions like opening and closing files and folders on your Windows XP.
To disable the Indexing Service:
Go to &#8220;My Computer&#8221; and right click on your hard drive. At the bottom of the window that opens, you should see a check box titled &#8220;Allow Indexing Service to index the disk for fast file searching.&#8221;  ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By default, your Windows XP will shut down when the Power button is pressed. It&#8217;s a good idea to change it so that the shutdown menu is opened instead, especially if you have little kids running around the house.
It&#8217;s quite easy to change it:
Step 1:
Go to your Windows XP&#8217;s desktop and right-click it. Select &#8220;Properties&#8221; and the Display Properties window will appear.
Open the &#8220;Screen Saver&#8221; tab and look for the &#8220;Power&#8221; button near the bottom of the window. Click it.

Step 2:
In the &#8220;Power Options Properties&#8221; window that opens,  go to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

If your Windows XP or Vista is getting slow, a wise thing to do is to defragment your hard drives!defragment
There are many programs but one of the best is Auslogics Disk Defragmenter. Just download the defragmenter, install it and run defragment. It should take approximately 1 hour and it says how much faster your computer went (for example 30%).
When the program has completed defragmenting you should immediately feel the difference (if the percent was over 30). Your computer should now be much faster than it used to be. Programs start ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windows XP&#8217;s built in Windows Messenger can be quite a nuiscance for those 99% of us that use Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger) or any other instant messaging program instead of it.
To be honest, I don&#8217;t even really know why it even exists. Why does Microsoft need two free messenger programs, one much better than the other?
Anyway, here is how to remove Windows Messenger from your XP and save some valuable disk space. 
Step 1: Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf and look for the file named sysoc.inf (NOT sysoc.PNF !), Copy ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hibernate function on Windows XP is basically the same as stand by, but with one difference. The files and programs you have open will temporarily be saved onto a specific location on the hard drive, instead of RAM.
This means that the computer can be switched off while hibernating and it will consume no power. When you turn your Windows XP on again, everything will open instantly, just like after a standby. No startup screens and waste of time. 
But there is one problem with hibernate &#8211; you can only ...]]></description>

Introduction to Registry Problems
Since their introduction a few decades back, computers have
become a very important part of our lives. From students to scientists, everybody depends on computers to perform their tasks. As we become more dependent on computers, it becomes that much more important to keep them error-free.

As we continue to work on our PC, install and uninstall programs, browse the Internet and work with various applications installed on it, a lot of unwanted data gets on to our computer. Additionally, ...]]></description>

There is a Startup Delay value in the Registry Editor that, when decreased, will make your XP start up faster.
To to this go to Start &#62; Run and type regedit to open up the Registry Editor.
Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex and look for an entry named StartupDelay. Change the default value of 4800000 to 40000 and reboot for the changes to take effect.

An error message: Could find the file f&#8221;lash.ocx&#8221; is typically displayed when this occurs. The new version of flash has the filename flash9e.ocx and you need to create a copy of it, named flash.ocx to fix this problem. To do this:

What you need:
1. a head (duh)
