Windows XP Security Tweaking for the paranoid

	This guide is intended for all of the people who believe tinfoil hats are fashionable. 99.5% of the people out there won't need or want these tweaks. We're not geeks REALLY! I like the way my hat makes me feel.... It makes me feel sexy AND secure.

	To save some time with Windows XP installs and applying service packs, be sure to checkout this guide.

	One of the most important rules to learn when using a computer, and especially when storing data on a computer, is to always keep backups. This may sound paranoid, but occasions can happen when you lose lots of work, photos and documents, and the user is the only person to blame.

	A new theme, potentially destined for Windows XP SP2, has leaked out of Microsoft and onto the web. The theme first appeared in a beta version of Media Center 2005.

	This freeware program can be very handy if you download and use alot of different codecs. It will help you determine which video and audio codecs are used in your movies whether the matching codec is installed or not. It can also help you determine the integrity of the file.

	Anybody that thinks SP2's Windows Firewall is such a large improvement had better make sure that they know all the facts. If you believe you need a firewall you will still not want to rely upon SP2's built in Firewall. All of the hype behind Service Pack 2's Firewall may lead most people to believe that Windows Firewall is all they need to stay safe. All of the marketing buzz gives people a false sense of security. While this IS a large step in the right direction it still is nowhere near where it should be. Anybody currently using or planning on using SP2 had better read through this carefully to find out WHY it's not anywhere near as secure as the marketing team will try to make you think.
