e Start Menu:
Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
Click Classic Start menu.
Click the Customize button to select items to display on the Start menu.

Sometimes beneficial but unnecessary and often annoying, you can ditch

Disable system restore - Windows XP has a built in function to back up
system files to help reduce the risk of crashes due to lost data,
software conflicts and so on. The drawback, is that a fair bit of system
overhead is used to perform this and can be disabled if you choose by
right clicking on "My Computer", clicking on "Properties" » "System
Restore" and choosing "Turn off system restore on all drives."
Advanced tab: Press Settings tab under Performance Visual Affects tab:
set to Adjust for Best Performance.
Advanced tab: Processor Scheduling: Set this for Background Services

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Priorit yControl]
"IRQ8Priority"=dword:00000001
3.) Double-click on the file to enter the tweak into your registry.
This can be un-installed should you need to by repeating the three steps
above with a new file, except this time use the following in your .reg file:
