Regular contributor A.K. writes " Gizmo, IMHO the most useful and unique feature of Vista is "Guided Help," a system that either solves problems automatically or guides users to a solution through a graphical interface wizard. Now, it appears, some of that Guided Help functionality is available for XP [1]. For example I just downloaded a Guided Help exe file [2] that covers the situation where XP fails to start correctly because of a corrupted Registry or missing system file and have installed it on a my flash drive for use when I next encounter this situation." A.K. is quite right, Guided Help is a big step forward in problem resolution and it’s good to see that this Vista technology is being applied to XP. The number of XP Guided Help facilitated guides currently available is not huge but still very useful – you can see a full list here [3]. Check them out and add them to your tech toolkit.
