Windows 2000 & XP performance tweaks
I am looking to improve the performance of our computers here in the office. I am interested in any and all tweaks to improve the performance of the machines without upgrading hardware. Most of our machines are Windows 2000 Pro. Some are XP Pro.

click on Start, Run, and type in msconfig and it brings up the startup programs. Uncheck all that are not needed. That will help immensly
For the Win2k machines, copy msconfig from one of the XP machines and put it into the system folder and run it the same way as XP

That looks very promising. Can you turn services off in Win 2000 Pro?

Never mind, I figured it out. I turned off many of the services that were suggested and my computer does appear to run faster. Thanks.
