9.1 Hacks #80-85
An
operating system by itself is a paltry thing; applications do the
real work. So, if you want to get the most out of XP, you need to
hack the applications that run on top of it.
Some old programs have a hard time running under XP, so
you'll see in this chapter how to get apparently
incompatible programs to run under the operating system.
You'll also find out how to remove applications and
uninstall entries that you can't seem to get rid of,
even when you thought you'd uninstalled the
application.
And
we'll cover shortcuts for launching applications
quickly and customizing them to the way you like them.
There's more as well, including how to create and
open Microsoft documents without having to spend hundreds of dollars
for Office.
