How to make Windows XP text display clearer

I remember that you once described in an article how to use some of the Windows XP instructions to make the text appear clearer. Can you talk about this technique again?

Of course, I first mentioned this issue last year, also received feedback from a large number of readers. Under the Windows XP operating system, you can greatly improve the clarity of the text display by turning on a hidden function called "ClearType". Just click the right mouse button on the desktop and select "Content". Then, select the "Appearance" column and click the "Effects . . ." button. On the subsequent screen, tick the “Use the following fonts to smooth the edges of the screen fonts” column and select “ClearType” from the drop-down menu. Then, click OK, then click "Apply".

ClearType particularly effective to improve the sharpness of letters on the LCD display, but in some cases it may also be used in old-fashioned CRT screen. However, only Windows XP has this feature, and older versions of Windows, such as Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000, do not have this feature.

When you first of Apple's Tiger operating system testing, you just found a striking defect: Some features slow, especially e-mail. Has Tiger's later upgraded version improved its speed?

According to my experience, yes. The speed of operation varies from computer to computer, depending on the program being run and how the user works. However, according to observations, the scrolling beach ball I now see (Apple's icon representing the delay) is much less than when the operating system was just launched. The built-in Apple Mail program runs much faster.

In this regard, there is further improvement potential, but in my opinion, Tiger and current speed as fast as its predecessor Panther. And Tiger's hysteresis and unplanned downtime are less than Windows XP on my Dell, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard computers.

I have a desktop computer and a laptop computer, their operating systems are Windows XP. I want to make the "My Favorites" of the two computers Internet Explorer exactly the same. What is the easiest way?

simplest and best way is to use my last week recommended file synchronization software FolderShare. Install this software on both computers at the same time, and specify that some folders, including "My Favorites", be synchronized, and FolderShare will continue to keep them consistent. In fact, this software has a built-in preset for synchronizing updates to "My Favorites."
