You gotta use Tweak XP for this, but I LOVE turning off the shortcut arrows and the "shortcut to" in new shortcuts. I hate those arrows.

Also, turning off the Error Reporting.

Should I check the:

Do it for C:\ only
Do it for C:\ and all subfolders

sorry if that sounds idiotic (im guessing its the second one w/ subfolders and all) but just needed to clarify. what does it exacltly do? and will it make it faster at all or no noticeable change?

Do it for C:\ and all subfolders ;)

The Indexing Service in Windows XP indexes your files presumably to shorten the time needed to search your hard drive if you are looking for a specific file or part of a phrase inside a file. However, the constant indexing of files actually slows down system performance and does not benefit search performance except for extreme complex searches
