You know that Windows XP is very colorful, has many themes and special effects which make it look very beautiful. But you may be very disappointed when you discover that all these good-looking features are just slowing down your PC.
So, let’s take a good look on the 6 main XP tricks:
Animation and sounds in the Windows desktop background noticeably slow your PC as well as the background picture, so it's best to set it blank.

Windows sounds, including startup and shutdown sounds, are also good at slowing down your computer's speed and performance, so removing them is another good tweak. To do this go to the Control Panel and double click the Sounds icon.
The shortcuts on your desktop start menu or anywhere else may be deleted for tweaking Windows XP purpose, though you may leave a very important few of those and remove the rest. You'll know if it's a shortcut because when you'll try to remove it the system will show you the confirmation message:
"Are you sure you want to delete this shortcut?"
You may remove the files or programs that you no longer use and which are just eating your computer valuable resources. To do these go to Control Panel in the Start menu and then select the Programs And Features.
You can also play with your Windows system registry by removing old and unwanted data with the help of a registry cleaner.
