Turn off user tracking and personalized menus to improve performance
Windows XP has a user tracking system that tracks user actions. This user tracking feature keeps track of every activity of logged on users and this information is available to the administrators. Disable this setting to prevent the system from tracking the programs users run, the paths they navigate, and the documents they open. The system uses this information to customize Windows features, such as personalized menus.
This user tracking system is also wasting system resources and it is useless to most ordinary users of Windows XP. Only system administrators may use this information. Disable this user tracking feature to free up system resources and speed up Windows XP performance. If you enable this setting, the system does not track these user actions. The system disables customized features that require user tracking information, including personalized menus.
Turn off personalized menus
Windows personalizes long menus by moving recently used items to the top of the menu and hiding items that have not been used recently. Users can display the hidden items by clicking an arrow to extend the menu. If you enable this setting, the system does not personalize menus. All menu items appear and remain in standard order.
Personalized menus require user tracking. If you enable the "Turn off user tracking" setting, the system disables user tracking and personalized menus and ignores this setting.
