New You can get rid of most of it.
I finally said "Screw the bug count" and got rid of the cruft - my work machine now looks like a Win2k machine, and runs almost as fast..

New Heh - and both my work and home W2K machines...
...look pretty much exactly like a pre-IE W95/NT4 machine[1], work perhaps as fast[2], but are rock fucking solid, in comparison[3].


[1]: Thank you, TweakUI, for the "shell enhancements" check box! (Which I un-checked, that is.)

[2]: What do I know, when I've never used either on a machine this fast? OTOH, my home machine feels at least as fast under W2K as under NT4. OTGH, that could be because I just haven't crufted up the Registry as much on this install -- yet...

[3]: In comparison to NT4, that is. W95 I have not only never used on a machine this fast; I've hardly ever used it at all. (Went directly from W3.11 to NT4.)
