    there was a vista tweak tool posted a couple months back. I nabbed it and promply got spoiled. All the settings were easy from there. Unfortunately since they are comfiscating laptops at work I stopped bringing mine. Although the Army issued a Vista by Nov 2009 order, my boss hates Vista as much as John even though he has never used it because of folks who blog without knowing how to use it, or what has been fixed. Anyhow... long story short, all my Vista machines are at home 25 miles away.... My usual recommendation is get a tweak tool that is organized the way you like. I like the last one posted here, but it is my 3rd tweak tool for Vista. There are about half a dozen free ones, half a dozen in crippleware (often the function you most need is in the paid version) and about a dozen full commercial tweak tools most of which have a demo mode that let's you view but not save/apply settings.

      After re-installing Vista, in the ongoing saga many of you are familiar with, my laptop has been stable for the entire day, where previously an hour or two was a record. I'm going to soon use the very helpful Complete PC Backup, once I've installed all essentials.

      It is a good idea to make a ghost image.

        Download DriveImageXML and try it. I'VE NEVER USED IT ON VISTA. But in XP Pro and in 98 works like charm. Easy to use, lightweight and free if you are in your house. http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm[^] Hope this helps.
