I have been using XP-pro for some time. Probably, for way too long, I
lived happily w/Windows 2000 pro. OK. I have upgraded now to XP.
I accept that most on this List now lives with Vista; and, most of the
early adopters have moved on to Windows 7 (?Vista-Lite?). Such is the
way of this List.
In the past, I was able to keep W2K somewhat in check regarding "fluff."
XP seems to have found a plethora of various ways to create "fluff" I
would like to learn how to control!
Is/Are there a link(s) I can go read to learn what XP-related "fluff"
there is? And, which of it I can safely excise?
I have now noticed that the longer XP runs, the slower it gets! This
tells me that XP creates a lot of "fluff" that might be really
necessary. OK. Ideas as to why?
No. I do not like doing complete rebuilds. Even though this task I know
all too well; now!
No, I am not yet comfortable with doing a "re-image" of XP either. Both
of these suggestions seem to defeat my seek somehow. It seems to me that
I should be able to throttle XP from its' propensities.
If these activities are my only choices, then, I suppose XP now has a
very small life-span at my crib.......... :)
Odd too; I have 5 clients; and, no 2 of them are similar enough for me
to pick one to "test" with to develop some "plan" for the others.
Perhaps I ask for too much. Seems I always do.............. :)
Thank you for your suggestions.
Best,
Duncan
