nice article

Glad that you liked the article.
Actually, my desktop got infected by a 'Data Streamer' virus. I guess it was a Trojan and it got into my PC due to inserting my friend's pen drive, That's why USB Disk Security is a must.
I also optimized Windows XP for faster response time & to lower the CPU Usage (btw, I have 3 Cores @ 2.51GHz)
Still, I'd like to free much of the resources
I disabled 'Indexing' service, disabled many unwanted services and many startup programs, disabled IIS for XP as it wasn't need

I'll try more to optimize it I still need to install Photoshop
=======
Anyways, after performing every single tip for optimization, I'll try to optimize & secure my laptop, which runs on Vista and then after, for Win 7 on my brother's laptop
