Tips, Tricks, and Tweaks

Here you'll find a collection of tips, tricks, tweaks and things I found generally useful for improving my Windows experience. For the moment most of these will be related to Win98 and a few filtering in for Win2K. I may eventually add some for Linux as I build my experience up in that field but that could be a while.

If you know of a great tip or trick you think I should include here, let me know.
