Over the next ten pages you’ll learn how to send documents where you want with just a single click of the mouse, kill off unwanted services and optimise the resource-hogging swapfile.

Thanks PCA! This is a great article, chock full of stuff the average user wouldn't even conceive of. I'm very saavy and still found several awesome nuggets that I implemented right away. What I don't understand is why Windows doesn't come with most of this stuff *already* going? They'll cram bloatware and advertisers icons down your throat but won't turn on System restore by default? LIES... ALL LIES!!! ;-)
