Q: Do you
know of a Windows XP Easter-Egg?
A: Nope. There shouldn't be any. The US government will not buy software with
"undocumented features", and thus Easter-Eggs were banned!
Q:
What is an Easter-Egg?
A: A secret message or screen buried in an
application. (For more info click the egg)
Q: Where can I
find Scan Disk?
A: Scan Disk isn't available in Windows XP. In XP there's Check Disk, which
can be run from the command line (chkdsk), or by right clicking a drive
in Windows Explorer and choosing Properties > Tools > Error-checking.
Q: How do I
change the Start button?
A: Without seriously hacking some files, or using 3rd party software you
can't.
Q: Does
Windows XP still have the system resource bottleneck found in previous versions
of Windows?
A: No. Windows NT/2000 never had this problem to begin with, and since XP is
based on Windows 2000 (that's why Windows 2000 is Windows 5.0 and XP is
Windows 5.1) it doesn't have this problem.
Q: Can I
use different screen resolutions for different users?
A: No you can't. Not without 3rd party tools or drivers. The screen
resolution is a "per-machine" setting in the Windows XP registry.
