Book Description

Editor's note: Recently, O'Reilly released another book in its new Hacks series: Windows XP Hacks. This book offers power users the kind of know-how to bend Windows XP to their will. And nothing tries the will of a power user more than a desktop slow to start up (or for that matter, shut down). In the first of two hacks we're publishing this week from Windows XP Hacks, author Preston Gralla walks through two steps to take for faster startup times, as well as ways to speed up the shutdown process. And in the second excerpt, Preston talks about some of his favorite ways to hack XP's interface using the Registry. Enjoy.
