The redesigned Windows
XP Control Panel now contains a section called Add or Remove
Programs, the third of the nine categories under Category View in
Control Panel. The tip groupings below correspond to the Classic
View in Windows XP. The final table below shows available feature
access comparisons via the two Control Panel styles.

Add Or Remove Programs under both Category and Classic views
opens the Add Or Remove Programs window. Once the window has
been opened there are three choices that may be selected.

For many months now I've been posting a reminder about 'Patch Tuesday' or 'Second Tuesday' as it has come to be known when Microsoft releases the latest round of updates for Windows XP and other products.
If you're using a Microsoft operating system (and it's likely you are or you wouldn't be on this site) it's once again time to head for Windows Update for the latest round of Critical and Security updates.
As always, I strongly suggest you read about any update prior to installation, especially updates carrying a less than 'Critical' rating, and have a current system and data backup available in case it's necessary to restore the system to a pre-patch condition.
Important Information The Elder Geek sites contain many articles and suggestions for
modifying the Windows operating system. I've tried these
tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work,
sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current,
tested backup of all system and data files and understand
how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong.
You can still yell at me, but I assume no responsibility for
your actions and use of the information and disclaim any
legal responsibility for any consequences of such actions.
