A couple of days ago I reported the death of my WinXP on my overheating craptop. Then, my other WinXp machine, a 7 years old desktop, went kablooie.
I figure it’s power supply or mobo, either way, that made the situation intolerable, and the possibility of nursing the laptop back to health became a “maybe sometime” -issue.
So I went and bought a new laptop, hurling myself into Windows 7 land (home premium*). Hrrrgh! I had so hoped to avoid it, and maybe I’ll ditch it at some point, but for now I have to make do.
So, questions:
#1 What are the most important things to bolt down on win7, safety wise.
I don’t have the local group policy thingie, so that sucks right there, but I’m not paying more for that. Registry a’hacking I must go.
