Optimize Windows XP
Ever wondered why XP works well once it is running but over time it starts to get slower and slower? The reason for this is that the user of the system will configure it to their needs which reduces its performance. Here are some tools that can be used to get the system running back to a respectable speed. Before using any of these tools be sure to back up all your important files in case something goes wrong.
