Disable Run Commands spcified in the Windows Registry: these settings do allow to disable a specific key of the registry autostart section.
Disable the Windows XP Error reports: this setting disables the auto error reports and error report dialog boxes.

Speed up network access:

Windows XP checks a remote computer for scheduled tasks before it gives you access to any shared folder. This procedure can take up to 30 seconds and does slow down network access enormously. To speed up your network connections, check the option below and restart your machine. This will force Windows XP not to check for any scheduled tasks on a remote computer.

Specify OEM Info on 'System properties' page:

Here you can specify your own OEM information which will displayed on the 'System propperties' dialog of Windows XP. Click the 'Example' button for an example.
