But watch out for systems that close the tray on their own (usually during shutdown or startup).. your coffee will end up all over the table.

I mean... microsoft needs some maintenance here and there... it's not hard. You have no idea how many people thing I'm a genius for "speeding up their computer" when all i do is a cache cleaning, cookie cleaning, defrag and a quick msconfig to turn off shitty programs at boot up.

But then again we have "mac geniuses" who can transfer files from windows to macs.... WHICH IS SO FUCKING HARD TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE?????

i get payed for running defrag - spybot - regmech -rebooting - msconfig. . . 30 dlls. . . and if i pass the hour n a half i get another 10 dlls. . . sweet. . .

I would recommend a combination avast! and spybot before AVG

if i must say norton is a great antivirus(as in. . .it can heal). . .but not for "civilians" . . . again. . .I mean i dont have top secret stuff in my computer. . . AVG / Avast can handle any "civilian" needs.  . .

while norton is a freaking paranoid!. . . god when i had my 30 day trial. . .seriously i had to uninstall it around the tenth day. . . i couldnt do anything! everything wouldnt work. . . and *coincidence* after uninstalling it. . .voila!

and i mean if you do have the top secret files. . .might as well get some xpensive oracle stuff. . . :D

Like I said Gogeta. I'm looked as someone amazing for learning something as simple as that in 10 minutes of stumbling onto tweak guides.

Actually on poor hardware it's the opposite because old rigs have that cold start slowness, like one we have at work (thank god I am not using them, use an Acer laptop instead)

thats why you dont use slow/poor hardware and have vista installed

I'm not a fan of vista. Though I will say using the Hibernate function is great for laptops. You lose maybe a max of 10 minutes of battery life and you get a 15 second "boot up".
