Incredibly Useful Tweak
If you haven't had to do this already, then some day, some time, you almost surely will: You'll want or need to pull a file off a sick PC. If the hard drive is formatted in NTFS, you'll normally have to jump through hoops to get at the files and to move them safely to, say, a floppy drive or other location. It can be done, but it often involves extra steps and perhaps using a completely different OS (on CD or flash drive) to accomplish the task.
But with one simple tweak, you can use XP itself, natively. The tweak gives you simple, direct, DOS-like access to your entire hard drive, and lets you move, copy, delete, or otherwise manage any file, anywhere on the drive. Want to move stuff to or from a floppy? No problem! Need to replace a corrupted file with a fresh copy? Piece o' cake. Want to act on a whole range of files or folders, using a simple "wildcard' command, such as using *.exe to represent all exe files? Easy!
Full info, including a how-to to implement the tweak:
