Microsoft included a "Program Compatibility Wizard" with Windows XP for this very purpose. It won't work for all of your games and programs, but it should help with some of them. Just right-click either the desktop icon or start menu shortcut for the particular program, and go to "Properties". As long as it's an executable or a shortcut to one, you should see a "Compatibility" tab. You can change the settings for the individual program there, or follow a link to the help file on how to use the wizard.

Just got a new computer and would like to install Windows 95 on it how do you do it from Windows XP?
Windows 95 cannot be installed from inside a newer version of Windows. You must boot from a disc to install it. Windows 95 isn't compatible with newer computers anyway, and virtually all software that will run on Windows 95 will run on XP, so its a wasted effort.
