Can't get into safe mode to run System Restore? Try a manual system restore by reverting to a backed up registry via your Windows XP CD and the recovery console.

Step by Step instructions can be found here:

Does your system slow down after running several applications? These registry settings are worth a try:

Go to registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems

Change the Windows key and find the "ShareSection" part in the middle. Change the middle number from 3072 to 8192. This increases the default heap size a desktop window gets. Apps and windows get sluggish when the low default setting of 3MB is reached.

Value should look something like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,8192,512 Windows=Ons SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Change GDIProcessHandldQuote and USERProcessHandleQuote from 10000 to 12000 or 15000. Make sure you change the decimal value. This increases the number of nadles a process can use. Graphic intensive apps use a lot of handles.

Need your pc/server to autolock after rebooting? Here's one way:

1. Create vbs script; this script will auto lock your computer after 30 seconds. Save as lock.vbs

Wscript.Sleep 30000
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation",1,false

2. Next, create a string in your registry for lock.vbs to autorun during startup.
Go to: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1123561945-1060284298-839522115-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Create a new string value called lock.vbs. Set the value data to C:\path\lock.vbs (assuming path is where you saved lock.vbs

3. Your computer/server most likely requires a login. So that services automatically startup, you probably want it to automatically login. Download and install Tweakui from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Once installed, run the Tweakui from START > Programs, expand Logon in the left window pane, select Autologon and enter your system credentials in the right pane.

Your system should now be able to boot up automatically and lock itself!

3. Place a checkmark in the "Lookup Wizard" checkbox. A short installation to install the add-in will follow.
