Compared to Windows ME and 2000, Windows XP's user interface has seen numerous upgrades that have improved usability and made navigating files and programs easier. Windows shell features like the start menu, taskbar, and desktops now have better designs with translucent icons and shadow drops. Two columns are added to the Start menu, and the user can now fully customize it. Along with these additions and modifications, Windows Explorer also gains file thumbnails, sorting, grouping, and the task pane—a handy sidebar that displays actions related to files.

Performance enhancements in Windows XP include quick boot, logon, and logoff times, quick application launches, CPU simultaneous multithreading, the new NTFS version v3.1, and more. Updates and additions have been made to the operating system for Microsoft's built multimedia apps, which now include Movie Maker, Windows Photo Viewer, and Windows Media Player.
