Posted: September 10, 2002 Written by: Dan "Tweak Monkey" Kennedy Welcome to Windows Windows XP will attempt to setup your desktop resolution automatically once it has rebooted. If it scrambles the screen or has an error, hit "Esc" on your keyboard immediately. When you startup Windows XP, plug in your cable modem etc. and you should have Internet access automatically when available. Internet is needed for the next few steps, which can be repeated later if it’s not available now. You’ll be prompted to activate and register Windows. Activation is required to use Windows, but registration is not. Activation is very quick and easy, but if you need to skip it, Windows will notify you later. The desktop should now come up you’ll quickly realize that Windows is fully functional. You can do what you want here, but we suggest you do a few more things before continuing.  Kind of reminds me of Fruity Pebbles…mmm, that was a great cereal. Let the Tweaking Begin If you do not like the default Windows XP theme, you can easily change it. Right click the desktop and choose "Properties". You can change the theme here from XP’s colorful theme to something more conservative, such as the Windows Classic theme.  I guess clouds and rainbows are not for everyone. |
