Repeat this step for My Documents, and the c drive (and other applicable drives).

Install the Google Chrome Browser (http://www.google.com/chrome), set as default browser.

Press start, programs, Google Chrome, right-click on Google Chrome, and select copy. Then go to the Startup folder, right-click and select paste. Google Chrome should now exist in your Startup folder.

Reboot your machine. You know have Google Chrome OS, congratulations. With this powerful new OS, you can now:

browse the web

power off the machine
