Kev's Video Training

You just got your new XP computer and want to put that personal touch to it. The video here will show you how to do just that. The first thing most everyone does is change their desktop picture and/or theme colours.

Watch the video for a basic introduction on how to change the most commonly fiddled-with settings on a pc.

The best thing about these settings is you can't actually "break" your computer by changing them. In fact, for the most part, there are not many settings you can easily change that would make your computer unusable. Irritating perhapps, but still usable!

Whatever you do, don't install something silly that automatically changes your background. Chances are, the program you end up using will do at least one of the following: Slow your computer down, keep track of your browsing habits and report them back to the company, install adware that will pop up advertising windows, and just annoy you with pictures you don't like after a while. It may seem like a novel idea at first (and it is), but the risk you run opening up the security on your machine is not worth it.
