One thing you can do is tell Windows not to do that.  I forget
which of the menus this is located in, but I can look when I get
home (I've got a different Windows at work).

Most of the really annoying things that XP likes to do, you can
tell it not to.  Don't like how only the programs you use a lot
show up on the menu (this is my pet peeve)?  You can tell it not
to do that.  Actually I believe both of these problems can be
changed under Settings for "Taskbar and Start Menu".

But efficient (in some ways), and we $lytherins like that.

I tried to go open source and found that if you're an Office
poweruser, Open Office simply WILL NOT DO a lot of things that I,
for one, absolutely depend on--like search/replace codes.
Apparently if you want to be able to do really advanced stuff in
open source you need to actually be a programmer.  I'm not, and
not really oriented toward becoming one.
