WinXP mouse sensitivity fixes?

Has anyone experienced the seemingly permanent mouse acceleration of Windows XP? This bugs me to no end, and is really the only reason I'm sticking with Windows 2000. I tried finding a solution about 6 months ago, but found only registry hacks that had minimal effect. I'm using a Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 with XP's default drivers.

If you've had this problem, please post methods you tried that DID NOT work, as that should cut down on the trial-and-error for everyone else.

Thanks!
 
Edit: Oops, I don't have one that a method that didn't work though. But I'm using WinXP w/ the Explorer v3 too.

Here!
That was the only thing I did and all the accel went away for me. Of course you have to have "enhance pointer precision" off too.

Here's what the site says:

1. Click Start button
2. Select Run
3. Type 'regedit' in the open textbox
4. Open the tree 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER', select control panel, then select mouse
5. Right clicking, modify the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve hexidecimal values to the following:

SmoothMouseXCurve:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,a0,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00
00,80,02,00,00,00,00,00
00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00

SmoothMouseYCurve:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
66,a6,02,00,00,00,00,00
cd,4c,05,00,00,00,00,00
a0,99,0a,00,00,00,00,00
38,33,15,00,00,00,00,00
