Makes optimising and customising Windows easy for beginners

Customising, enhancing and cleaning up the Windows XP operating system often involves endlessly searching through menu options and downloading various third-party applications. Boost XP aims to make the whole process both faster and easier.

All the tools are accessed from a clean menu system and most settings can be changed using simple tickboxes. Basic tasks such as wallpaper changes aren't exactly hard anyway, but using the Photo Explorer interface makes it that little bit easier. Delve further into Boost XP and you'll find useful performance-enhancing tweaks such as memory, file and system optimisation tools, along with quick links to general security settings and Windows clean-up tasks.

Aside from the optimisation tools, many of the features can be altered without the use of Boost XP but this way all the controls are housed in a single program. However, there isn't an option to quickly undo all of your changes.

Boost XP is a great help to those unfamiliar with Windows XP. However, intermediate users and above won't need the help.
