Windows has a lot of configuration options, a lot of undocumented settings, and even a lot of ways you can tweak things that weren't really meant to to be tweaked. TweakXP is a repository of all of the above. Hate finding "thumbs.db" all over your hard drive (I do)? The setting to change it is here. Need to disable search from searching inside of ZIPs? Steps to unregister the DLL are here. Want to change the boot screen logo? The DLL to fiddle with is detailed here. (And, no, I do not recommend fiddling with DLLs, but there are several tweaks here for the adventurous.)

TweakXP is part of "Tweaks.com", which includes sites for Windows XP, Vista and the Media Center Edition. There's an active discussion forum for getting questions answered and problems solved. And naturally there's a newsletter and an RSS feed.

If you've wondered that "there must be a way to...", TweakXP.com is worth a look.

This looks like an endless commercial.

The site is not very well organized. I found more interesting and useful information at Arstechnica.com.

I'm trying to find out what the if.exe process is that is running in Windows XP. Does anyone know?
