25 Most Popular Windows Tips: The Best Explained and Worst Debunked

Interesting article.  I have to differ on two topics: leaving superfetch and restore points enabled.  Not on laptops, IMNSHO.

When running on batteries, the last thing I want is superfetch banging away on the disk, burning battery and slowing the machine down post boot.

When sprinting for the ferry, I want the laptop to shut down FAST.  If it has just decided to set a restore point, it can take MINUTES.  Not good.
