Hello Anne,

Iconoid is a neat little program I've used in the past. Iconoid is a desktop
icon management tool with which you can change icon text and background
colors, make text backgrounds transparent, hide icons when you don't need
them and see them when you do (based on mouse pointer location), and other
options. Check it out here:
http://www.sillysot.com/ It's FREE too.

General performance tips would apply here. Things like don't overload it
with programs you don't use/need and don't have any running in the
background you're not using. Memory is cheap and probably the single best
thing you can do for performance, so install as much as the motherboard will
handle (check your manual). Personally, I would avoid the many "tune-up"
type programs that are supposed to increase performance. In general, common
sense and a good 'housekeeping' plan applies. I'm sure others will have
suggestions for you also.
