Reformatting Windows XP the RIGHT way
At the ripe age of nearly 10 years years, Microsoft’s venerable Windows XP remains its most popular operating system to date.

Download of the day: Launchy
Stop using icons right now. Seriously, just quit it. Your start menu? Quit that too. The former uglifies your desktop and the latter is slow and unintuitive. Get Launchy. Teach it to index the file types and folders you access regularly. Hit alt+space and type the first two letters of those files or folders. Launching […] Add comment
