How Processor Speed Is Reported to a Computer
The System tool in Control Panel uses currentspeed to do its reporting rather than maxspeed, but the System tool may display the wrong clock speed for the Central Processing Unit (CPU).
As of January 2002, Windows XP uses the currentspeed value rather than the maxspeed value because the maxspeed value was reporting inconsistent values. After startup, the processor may not correctly reflect its correct speed until a program utilizes processor cycles. The computer basic input/output system (BIOS) in some laptop computers may throttle the processor because of heat, load, power AC/DC. To check the currentspeed setting: 1.Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance. 2.Click See basic information about your computer. On the General tab, the processor speed (in MHz) appears under Computer. To check the maxspeed setting: 1.Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information. 2.The speed (Maxspeed) of the processor appears in MHz in the System Information window, in the right column of System Summary, under Processor.. NOTE: System Information from Administrative Tools always reports Maxspeed. If you click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information, the correct processor speed (for example, 797 MHz = 800 MHz) is shown. After you start the System Information tool, the System Properties tool in Control Panel displays the correct speed. However, when you first start your computer, the incorrect speed is shown in the System Properties tool in Control Panel

follder option missing
Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer. Here's the solution--> Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc". Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer. Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu" Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured. I hope that you will find the option after restarting windows.

Turn Off Windows Indexing service
The 'Indexing' feature is used to increase the speed of file searches within XP by creating and updating an index of all files on your system. Unfortunately, it also reduces the performance of your system, since it is constantly working in the background. To turn it off: Go to Control Panel\Add/Remove Programs\Windows Components. Then uncheck 'Indexing Service.' Resize screen fonts on the fly in Internet Explorer. Here's a simple useful tip that you can use in Internet Explorer. While viewing a web page, hold down CTRL and use the scroll button on your mouse to increase or decrease the size of the fonts on the page. Some websites really like using the small size 1 fonts, and if you're eyes have a hard time reading such small text, this little trick can make previously headache ridden websites much easier to read through.

Backing up or transferring your email manually with outlook express
If you would like to ensure that you always have a backup of your Outlook Express mailboxes available, there is an easy way to do it manually. Note that you must have enabled viewing of hidden folders (in Windows Exporer/tools/Folder Options/View Tab/ enable "show hidden files and folders") in order to successfully view your mailboxes. Navigate to c:\documents and settings\(your username)\ Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\(some very long and complicated string of numbers and letters)\Microsoft\Outlook Express You will see a .DBX file for each of your mailboxes. Transferring these to another hard drive or burning them onto a CD at regular intervals will ensure that you can always restore your email records should you be forced to reinstall Windows. To restore your mailboxes in the event of reinstalling Windows, simply copy them back into the same folder once the install is complete, overwriting the existing files. You will now have access to all your email records.
