IExpress
To use IExpress, open the Run box and type: iexpress.exe
Microsoft Word Script Editor
You know how annoying it can be when, in the middle of typing a document, suddenly a paragraph's formatting changes. Argh! I didn't want to do that! How can I stop this from happening? Look no further than the built-in script editor. Open it by pressing Alt + Shift + F11 on your keyboard. Newer Word documents are done in XML, so you can easily edit the source to your heart's content.
Vintage Windows Media Player
it's now called "mplayer2.exe". Just type the name in the Run box.
On-screen keyboard
start>run>osk.exe
Winchat
open the Run box and type: winchat.exe
Get more processing power
In the Run box, type, "Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks". This frees up any idle tasks running in the background so that XP devotes its full attention to what you want it to do.

IExpress is pretty cool. I was using a batch file to create sfx .cab archives, now I can use a simple GUI.

Thanks for the info!

that thing to free idle tasks is pointless it take 15 minutes to do it and anyway those proccesses are only done when the computer is idle

Yeah but if the Prefetch folder gets messed up using pointless "tweaks" it can repair it by rebuilding a new layout.ini file.
