I found a huge guide from Bold Fortune”

That site is now down. My guide can now be found at Jan’s Graphix an Stuff: http://www.graphixanstuff.com/Forum/index.php?showforum=68

You mentioned the article you were searching for was easy to understand for us new to system tweaking. I also believe you said something about blue headings.

I know Black Viper was mentioned; but, his site’s Left Sidebar menu let me change the background colour from black to white. When I did the headings all changed to blue letters on a white background.

Having just ten numbered suggestions it has been the easiest article to understand I’ve found.

Regards,
ken

You might like to try these sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Most_Valuable_Professional
http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/
https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/communities/mvp.aspx
http://www.mvps.org/
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/
If you still can’t find, it try STUMBLEUPON download the toolbar and sign up for the computing subjects and you should be able to stumble it.

I’m well aware of blackviper’s site and have used his help guides regularly. He covers many of the things I am looking to do, although that’s still not looking like the site I want.
I remember there being a lot of blue text headers, and no black background. There were many pages and guides. He is an older fellow, and touted himself as a longtime windows user, a veteran of sorts.
With my luck they’ve either updated the style, or have closed up shop. I should probably start my own thread, and spread it all around and see if anyone can find it. A mission impossible?
I just really liked his was of presenting things; like he was talking to you in a normal conversation.

Those guides are good. I just liked his presentation. He used nice graphics and screens, dabbled with veteran windows sarcasm, and made it simple enough even for novice users. He had some really nice tips and methods. Granted I wasn’t going to follow it to a ‘T’, but I was hoping to try some of those tips. I remember thinking, “oh, that sounds like what I want to do”. Guess not any more. *grumble*
Thanks anyway.

In my opinion, it’s probably be overkill.

Any takers?

It was very comprehensive, a little sarcastic, and seemed to be just what I needed.

I thought I bookmarked it at work and I used Foxmarks to upload my bookmarks for use at home. I went home for the weekend. When i got home I couldn’t find it. So i began to search the internet. I have spent hours, for days, looking and can no longer find it. It’s not in my history or cache, as my system cleans those over the weekend. I am frustrated.

It was written by someone that is a long time windows user. The guide covered everything from clearing your “Start up” folder, and moving your ‘My Downloads” folder, as well as regulating partitioning and paging files. I must have looked at hundreds of pages since then, to no avail. All the above mentioned ones are fine, but not the one i want.

All I can tell you is that I had started by searching for guides on improving frame rates, graphic settings, and network setup. But I stumbled onto that guide and can’t seem to stumble back. =(

Any help would be appreciated.
