     I am looking for good books and/or URLs on
the best practices for securing a standalone laptop
running WinXP.  How should the built-in crypto be
configured?  Is the built-in crypto worth using or
is there an add-on product that is much better?  
Is there any public review of the built-in crypto 
design?  I am very familiar with the CryptoAPI and 
CSP layers, but not the file/folder/partition layers.
    Where is a good checklist of service to turn off
and things to configure carefully? 
     Yes, I know that a custom Linux system would be 
better, but that is not an option.
