tinyXP verses microXP virtualBox

tinyxp
microxp ----------------------- microxp 99mb iso. (microxp single user ) microxp is small cutdown version of xp. it's cut down alot. maybe it's stripped down to much. virtual box share did not work with microxp. and microxp only supports one user and that user is admin. i don't like surfing the net as admin and i don't like like using a single user system. tinyXP 700mb iso. (tinyxp multi users OKAY.) tiny xp is a little better and a lot bigger it's a 700mb iso. But whats "real good" about tinyXP is that it works with virtualBox's shared folder services . virtualBox share folder. only works after install guest host controls for virtualBOX onto xp/tinyxp. 1 virtualBOX can download the iso for you, 2 and then you need to shutdown your virtual-xp 3 then mount the iso with virtual box. 4 power up your virtual xp box. 5 log-in. go to my computer. open cdrom drive install virtualbox guest /host controls. 6 shutdown. and then use virtualbox to set up a share folder. After that power up your virtual xp again. and login. 7 go to run on xp's start menu. // type in " explorer " and now you can browse your virtualbox/shared folder. tinyxp works. whats bad about tinyXP/virtualbox set up is flash will hang the hole system up. firefox users should install flash block. and opera user should just disable flash. There's no reason to be using flash in a virtualBOX any how. and opera user should kill cookies and javaskript. just because cookies suck... they work ok in virtualbox but i just think they slow sites up.

I hate flash ads. i hate flash ads.
