No4- -Standby Mode Defined
Two tips back, we showed you how to adjust the delay before Windows XP automatically shuts off your monitor and hard disks (to save power). There may be a number of other power-saving options available to you (depending on your system), including standby and hibernate mode. Over the next two tips, we'll discuss standby mode.
When you place your computer on standby, the entire system switches to a low-power state, making it a great way to conserve battery power on a portable computer. The nice thing about standby is that you can come out of it quickly--move the mouse or press a key, and you're back to your desktop the way you left it. The downside is that standby mode does not save your current desktop to disk. So in the event of a power failure, you could lose any unsaved information. To be safe, if possible, save your work before using standby mode.

No5- -Here is how Ive been running my scandisk and defrag on my ME. I found it as Q186978 in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q186/9/78. This has allowed me the go through maintenance without the dreaded system restore that takes my computer back further than I desire. Below is quoted.

CLEAN BOOT THE COMPUTER
A clean boot is a method of reducing problems that may occur because of you computers environment. Many problems that may occur when you run Windows or other programs can occur because there are conflicting drivers, terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs), or other settings that load when you start your computer. Windows Millennium Edition (Me) and Windows 98 include a System Configuration Utility tool (Msconfig.exe) to make performing a clean boot easier. To clean boot you computer:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
2. On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.
3. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click to clear the following check boxes:
Process Config.sys File (if available)
Process Autoexec.bat File (if available)
Process Winstart.bat File (if available)
Process System.ini File
Process Win.ini File
Load Startup Group Items
4. Click OK, and then restart you computer when you are prompted.
After your computer starts, run the Disk Defragmenter tool. After Disk Defragmenter finishes, start the System Configuration Utility tool again by repeating the above steps. In step 3, click Normal startup on the General tab, and then click OK. Restart your computer when you are prompted to do so.
I always run my scandisk (first of course) and defrag like this and have never had a problem. Dan

No6- -System Information (Me)
Want more information about what's going on under the hood of Windows Me? Go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/ System Information. This starts a massive application that can tell you all you ever wanted to know about your system -- and more. Be advised, when doing this procedure, it's a good idea for you to not be doing much of anything else. The System Information program is VERY resource intensive.

No7- -To stop the noise when dialing up your IPS. On Windows ME You Left click on start then left click on dial-up networking then right click on your ISP then left click on properyies then left click on configure then on the slid put it when you want it.

No8 - -Wall paper in Windows ME. You can put pictures in My Pictures in Windows ME, and you can use them as wall paper. Then you can right click on your desk top then left on properties then left click on back ground then click on the picture you want as wall paper.
