Seeing XP is getting a lot of discussion here :) still thinking of linux , though , found this site for tips on XP
and some hacks

pcbuyersguide.com

most of these still work under ME

12) Useful shortcuts:
Windows Key + L = Fast user switching logon screen
Windows Key + U = Utility Manager (Narrator, Magnifier, on-screen keyboard.)
Windows Key + R = Run command
Windows Key + F = Search for Files dialog
Windows Key + E = Explorer
Windows Key + D = Toggle Desktop / Windows view
Windows Key + M = Minimize all Windows

15) Over at the SuperSite for Windows, we came across what is probably the best tip of all: gpedit.msc is a built-in configuration tool that allows easy access to virtually every feature in Windows XP without having to resort to regedit. Run gpedit.msc and dig around!

this one works with ME also :) need this for that topic earlier for EULA

20) Enhanced Scrolling Wheel support. Try pressing the CTRL key and rotating the wheel while viewing a web page. The fonts will change size.
