How to set priority levels for processes in Windows Xp

Each process which runs in windows has a priority level. The priority level may be low, high, normal, and real-time, below normal and above normal.

When the priority is set to low, that process is considered the least important, during processing and hence the instances of this process is low and the process runs slower.

A process which is set with a priority of high will have more instances and hence will run faster.

Similarly the case can be judged for normal, above normal and below normal. Real-time priority makes the process priority to vary according to needs. Especially games are played better with a real-time priority.

To change the priority of a process, you will have to open the task manager.
Press ctrl + shift + esc to open task manager.

Navigate to the process tab and then right click any process and select Set Priority and then set the required priority.

You must be careful not to alter the priorities of system processes as it might have negative impact on your computer. So before you set the priority make sure that you know which software application the process belongs to. Do not assign process priorities to process which you have no idea of.

Add sound to almost every event in Windows

XP comes with a new set of sounds that will surely add pizzazz to the way you work in Windows. But there's one problem -- you need to actually turn on the Windows default sound scheme before you'll be able to hear them.

To turn on the Windows XP default sound scheme, follow these directions:

Single-click the Start menu.
Single-click the Control Panel.
Single-click the Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices icon.
Single-click the Sounds and Audio Devices icon or the text labeled "Change the sound scheme."
Make sure you're on the Sound tab and locate the pull-down menu under Sound scheme.
Select the Windows Default option and press Apply. Windows will ask you if you want to save the previous sound scheme. Since there wasn't a sound scheme already loaded, just choose No.

If you look under the text labeled "Program events," you'll be able to sample your new sounds or customize them with your own. Read Customize Events Sounds if you'd like to learn how to do this yourself.

Change XP Boot Screen

If you would like to change your boot up screen follow the directions below.
These instructions assume that you have a place to download the boot screen from the net.
If you would like to download a boot screen, visit http://www.themexp.org

1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)
2. Download the .zip to your computer
3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)
4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)
5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe
6. Reboot your computer as you normally would.
