Easter Eggs (Definition) - A hidden message or feature in an application. This guide covers the undocumented and
hidden features in Windows XP. All of the following were tested in Windows XP only.
Application Secrets
Defrag
Notes - Windows XP will run this automatically every three days or so, during system idle periods. BootVis will evoke this
when you run the "Optimize System" function. There is no need to manually run this unless you wish to immediately
optimize a newly installed application's load time.
IExpress
Notes - IExpress is a technology designed to simplify creation of a setup program. Using the step-by-step IExpress
Wizard, you can create self-extracting files that automatically run the setup program contained inside. The setup program
can be an .inf file or an executable program. IExpress technology automatically removes the setup files after installation,
saving the user time and frustration.

Internet conferencing solution for all Windows users with multi-point data conferencing, text chat, whiteboard, and file
transfer, as well as point-to-point audio and video.
