Why Windows Vista is much faster than Vista on the same hardware. also crashes Windows Explorer in Vista more than XP.
In this article we will examine how we can downgrade Vista to XP in the easiest way. There are actually several ways to, Then we will be managed by three of them here.

One way to run XP again on a recovery of Windows. Now this approach is more convenient because you do not need to erase your hard disk.
The disadvantage is that it is generally not as stringent as the other option (option Start From Scratch below) is clean.
Look, what you can do:
Back up your entire hard drive.
The first and most important thingto do to back up your entire hard disk if something goes wrong with this process. If you Ultimate Windows Vista Business or for a complete PC backup and restore tool you can use. Also be sure to leave several GB of free disk space on the startup disk after the backup.
A secure (and my favorite) is to copy your data to an external hard drive. You can easily copy it all back once XP is running. Make sure you save the entire C: UsersFolders, documents, folders, files and desktop application contains information such as e-mail.
Back up your entire hard drive.

Boot your Windows XP disk.

Open the Recovery Console.
starts after you install Windows XP, you must press R on the first page and open the Recovery Console. When askedSelect a Windows installation, type 1 and press Enter.

* Open the folder C: Users
* Double-click the Administrator account, and uncheck the option Account is disabled

What are you doing here? One option is to do a dual boot. Be warned, however, this option is an advanced option, so you should have an idea of the dual-boot before it to be.
You'll install XP alongside Vista, so you need a second hard disk or a second partition on the primary drive.
