Now that you have a current copy of your registry on backup just in case something happens we can get down to business. To browse your registry go to START and click on RUN.

Recently, an Apple Computer commercial for the Mac featured a down and out \"Windows guy\" who sheepishly confessed that he was taking the unlikely step of uninstalling his recent Windows Vista upgrade and returning to the former Windows XP system. While a clever scenario for an advertisement, it seems it was not at all far from the truth. In the course of extensive tests, some independent computer researchers found that XP did much better than Vista in all of the tests they conducted. <... more...
