Lots of things. Take up a new hobby, like boomerang throwing. Remember to
do it outdoors.

If you mean what can you do to improve your computer's performance, then the
first thing would be to defrag it. Right click on Mycomputer, choose
Manage. Then select Disk Defragmenter and start that. It might take a
while to go through.

Your question is not overflowing with detail. Perhaps more RAM would help,
or a faster processor. You don't give us any information about your
computer.
 
Use the restore CD that came with your PC. Turn it off, insert it, follow
the prompts. After its done, uninstall (add/remove programs) all the
garbage you don't use. Then, defragment the hard drive.

Then, go online and let MS and your antivirus add more crap to it, then
defrag again.

I ran into one of those today. 350MB installation just to run a HP printer.
Owner just uses the printer for simple print jobs consisting of text. Some
call it advanced technology. I call it reverse progress.

And you *really* think that is the best way to restore speed to a computer?
Not only is that complete NONSENSE but you also failed to advise the OP to
backup all critical data first.
Please do NOT post such dangerous twaddle again.

No, but I don't know the PC level knowledge of the OP. Obviously, you do
via some mind meld.

What EXACTLY is critical data in regards to this particular user? Oh, mind
meld again.

Sorry, I did not see your more advanced and accurate response to the
question posed by the OP. Where is it? Don't come to the side door and
stand at the entrance, get in the kitchen. If you can't take the heat stay
out. Which you obviously are doing.

And typical users can't find their data if its not where it was as on the
original XP menu.

You are obviously completely unaware that a restore CD WIPES THE HDD.

See my response to the OP where I did in fact give several URLs that address
just this problem.

What's that got to do with anything?

Nothing stupid. Just common sense.

What, *WIPING* *OUT* *THE* *HDD* ?
because THAT is what a restore CD does. That is why your reply was stupid
dangersous twaddle.

And all you can do is post weblinks...
