Windows XP Sneak Peek

Keeping with the "less is more" theme, by default WindowsXP reverts to this simplified Start Bar. This can of course be changed to the classic setting.

On the previous page, I showed you the familiar Control Panel layout, but this is the stock Control Panel you will see by default in WindowsXP, with everything divided up into specific areas, rather than specific Control Panel apps.

One enhanced feature in XP, is the enhanced default Image Viewing capability, whereby images in a directory are automatically thumb nailed, along with a larger preview area, and a few simple image tools.

Another feature added to Explorer, is a View by thumbnails selection for viewing directories. In this mode, any folders with images in them will become large, and have thumbnails of the first 4 images in the folder, displayed on the folder's icon.
