- IE, CMD/Edit, Mplayer32, Private Character Editor, Show Hidden H/W Devices, Hidden Control Panel Extensions, etc.
But to the average user, they may well be considered 'secrets', but most members here are well above average users.
Also, maybe it could be a good idea to take out that bit about downloading SP2, as it's really out of date now, as well as pretty insecure.
SP3, not being new of course, still beats SP2 hands down, for enhanced security.
This was intended for the users who need it. If you do not need it, then don't use it. simple enough. ill continue to update this thread when i can.
