LiveJournal Archives
This isn’t so much of a journal entry as a list of resources I’m going to reference when I rebuild my xp box next week. Do not, I repeat, do NOT berate me for my operating system choice, the only reason I’m even posting this as public is because I thought someone else may be interested in some of these links if they’re having similar issues.
- General Windows XP Setup(simplistic, but informative)
- WindowsXP Setup and Maintenance
- Application Compatability (maybe will fix rights problems with older apps)
- WindowsXP Downloads
- Service Pack 2 RC2
- TweakXP.com (a resource no advanced XP user should be without)
- How to move your “Documents and Settings” folder*
Maybe it’s time to stop working on this and go on to making the Fraklid map for Starcraft.
*Hmmm, maybe it’s only worth it to move Desktop and My Documents to the D: drive, rather than the entire Documents and Settings folder. It’s looking like a giant pain in the ass to move everything and really, so long as the actual data is safely off the C: drive, I should be fine.

To move Desktop and My Documents may depend on backup/recovery plans. I decided to keep mine when I started making regular images of C:.
I’ve had my primary hard drive crash and burn more often than my secondary, also, when I do a full format and rebuild, it’s easier to just point all the user info back to D: rather than copying it back and forth.
