An operating system isn't yours until you've adapted it to your needs. Want help getting Windows XP in line? Check out three downloads that let you customize Microsoft's new OS to your heart's delight.
Not long ago, I bought two new PCs: a desktop and a laptop. This was great for my computing experience, but very bad for my checkbook.
Since they both came with Windows XP installed, I've been mucking around with Microsoft's latest operating system a lot lately. As usual, I'm never satisfied, and I have no doubt that if you're an XP user, you're not satisfied either. So check out these XP-related programs I found at ZDNet Downloads. They'll let you customize the OS to your heart's delight.
Glass2k is a free, simple program that lets you make any window, or even the taskbar, transparent. Once this program is running on your PC, just right-click on a window and it disappears. (Free/Windows)
XP App Wizard lets you customize the Windows XP Start menu, and set which programs you want to load when your PC starts up. It also allows you to create unique Start menus and start-up options for multiple users on the same system. (Shareware/Windows)
CustomizerXP lets you customize XP in many different ways, including changing 80 registry settings, altering the Start menu, and automatically restarting Explorer if it crashes--and that's only the beginning. (Shareware/Windows)
If you're an XP user, don't settle for the operating system that Microsoft gave you. Try these downloads and make it your own.
