Top Tip #8:
Got too many icons on your desktop?
Right click on an empty space on your desktop, highlight "Arrange Icons By", click on Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard
Top Tip #9:
Tired of seeing your pointer as an arrow or an hourglass all time? Windows XP offers a number of alternative pointer schemes, such as Dinosaur, Ocean and Sports.
Open Control Panel, double-click Mouse, and select Pointers tab. (If you start in Category view, select Appearance and Themes, then click Mouse Pointers under "See Also.") Next to Schemes, click down arrow and select a scheme to preview its pointers. Click OK to apply scheme to your desktop. Simple as that.
Top Tip #10:
Want to hear your computer talk? Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility, Narrator. Or press Windows key plus letter "U" to open Utility Manager. Microsoft Narrator, an accessibility option designed to assist readers who are blind or have impaired vision, starts automatically.
Once you've read through intro screen (or let Narrator do it), click OK and you'll see a dialog box of Narrator options. Assuming you want to leave Narrator running, select desired options, then minimize its dialog box. And if you've opened Utility Manager, feel free to close it.
To turn Narrator off, click Exit button or right-click its taskbar item and select Close.
Hope this has helped you get your WinXP working way you want it to, and given you a little fun too. For more information like this, I highly recommend that you visit, read through, bookmark and re-visit this site: http://www.winxpnews.com/issues.cfm
