Safe Xp - allows users to quickly tweak various security and privacy related settings in XP. The options include Media Player settings, Services settings (error reporting, time synch, remote registry etc.), as well as and option to remove items from the Start menu, network security settings and more.
Safe XP improves your system performance and makes Windows to run faster, more secure and reliable!
It is suitable for beginners and experts!

I haven't tried it but just wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Try it out. May just be one of those programs with a bunch of BS! :lol:

I have tried it on my old pc, you can do it all manually. Safe XP is a program to just do the things with 1 click of the mouse.

I like xp-AntiSpy better.

If you know what your doing then by all means use it. The thing is a lot of the stuff it disables are things most users would want.

I've tried their other program, GameXP and found that to be buggy and it caused several problems which the programs own created backups didn't fix. Therefore I wouldn't trust SafeXP myself <_<

Thanks for mentioning xp-AntiSpy, I didn't know about it until I read this thread. It seems to be pretty ok.
