Post XP Reinstall Procedure

Hello,

I was just curious, what procedures do you always follow after you format your PC, little tweaks that you ALWAYS do before starting to install programs. Here's my list:

Turn off System Restore
Crank Down Recycling Bin Percentage
Crank Visual Effects to Best Appearance
Uncheck 'Time to display list of op systems' and 'time to dislpay recovery options'
Uncheck 'Automatically restart' in system failure
Disable Error Reporting
Add Quicklaunch.
Delete/Hide all the crappy start menu items that I never use.
