Holy crap. Mother of god. This thing is an absolute dumpster fire. Let's go.

Explorer

  • View tab → Item checkboxes = OFF (if you want)
  • View tab → File name extensions = ON
  • View tab → Options
    • view tab
      • navigation pane (these were formerly in the general tab)
        • show all folders → on
        • expand to current folder → on
      • display the full path in the title bar → on

delete instead of recycle

right click recycle bin | properties

  • don't move files to the recycle bin → enable (maybe)
  • Display delete confirmation dialog → YES (jesus christ how is that not default?)

system properties

win+pause/break to get to system properties

  • "advanced system settings" on the left to get to the REAL system properties
    • advanced tab
      • performance | setttings | turn off candy as desired
      • startup and recovery | settings | automatically restart → off

enable auto login

  1. Click Start, click Run, and type "control userpasswords2". This is a shortcut instead of having to click on Start → Control Panel → User Accounts.
  2. Uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.
  3. Click Apply.
  4. Enter the user name and password you wish to automatically log on with, and then click OK.
  5. Click OK again and you're all done.

show keyboard shortcut underlines

  1. Start, type "ease", select 'Ease of Access Center'.
  2. Click 'Make the keyboard easier to use'.
  3. Tick ‘Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys’
  4. While you're here, you can turn off sticky keys shortcut, etc.

3D Bronze cursor theme

If you are a crazy person and want the 3D bronze cursors from Windows XP:

  1. Extract this file somewhere
  2. Start | "mouse" | Pointers tab
  3. Save a new profile "3D Bronze"
  4. For each cursor in the ZIP, change the corresponding entry to it
