The NSA have a retty decent instal guide for home users, if you're planning on using it elsewhere though, I'd personally lock it down a lot more, like on an office LAN for example.

Here's the link though:

Hi,

I hear stories of how a new Windows XP system is infected within minutes. So I wonder, what is the procedure to install Windows XP in a safe way?

PS : In case there are any other Danes on the list, I posted a similar question on a Danish security newsgroup, but I got very conflicting responses, so I just want to know the opinion of this list.
