Netbook-Friendly Windows XP

Utilizing a number of tweaks, programs, and performance hacks to make Windows XP more netbook-friendly.

 

Programs and tweaks used:

 

Stardock Fences

Enhanced Write Filter from Windows XPe (Embedded)

Google Chrome for fast performance and "Create application shortcut" feature

Launchy for quick application launching

Higher-resolution icons from Google Images

Auto-hide taskbar enabled

 

Screencast of all this in action: bit.ly/1IGMBj (Forgive the areas where obviously Jing doesn't work with games and videos.)

 

Used on an Acer Aspire One with 1.5GB of memory. Performance is very snappy (thanks to EWF.)
