I remember reading in a book that it was hard to actually break Windows, so I loved messing about in the settings. It was probably the 95 or 98 days where I turned on file extensions on my profile and never looked back.

I also played a part in infecting the family PC with about 500 different types of adware, but oh well.

I remember when I learnt you can customise the default icons for My Computer and the Recycling bin, so I used the image in the book or magazine as a reference and manually edited every pixel to make them golden.

I was big into those magazines on how to tweak/modify Windows to go faster. One day I was reading up on compressing a hard drive to save space. So I compressed C: to save space. Sure learned a lot those years!
