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?

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
