ReInstalling WindowsXP

If you need to reinstall WindowsXP and want to keep all your current installed applications and settings:

Start WindowsXP

Go to the location of your source files

Run WINNT32 /unattend


Installing Java Virtual Machine

If you are getting errors when browsing the web to install Java Virtual Machine,

You can still download it from Microsoft (version 3810)http://download.windowsupdate.com/ms...a04af2b34d.exe

If this link is removed by MS or is too slow you can download it here
http://home.comcast.net/~cerelli/msjava_3810.exe

If you need a previous version, you can download 3805 http://home.comcast.net/~cerelli/msjavx86_3805.exe

It is now included in Service Pack1 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...p1/default.asp

You can also download Sun's version http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html

Speeding Up the Display of Start Menu Items
An easy way to speed up the display of the Start Menu Items is to turn off the menu shadow.

Right click on an open area of the Desktop

Select Properties

Click on the Appearance tab

Click on the Effects button

Uncheck Show shadows under menus

Displaying the QuickLaunch Toolbar
By default, WindowsXP does not show the QuickLaunch toolbar.
To enable it again:

Right click on an open area of the toolbar
Select Toolbars
Select Quick Launch
Now you can add programs like with Win98
