Reduce Vista Restore disk space and usage

2007-05-09T14:14:00.000-07:00

By default Windows Vista allocates 15%-20% of your hard drive to storing System Restore points - which turns out to be a couple dozen gigabytes on a large drive. The user-friendly Windows XP slider bar which sets System Restore space has disappeared on Vista; instead a little command line action's required to reset this percentage.To recover some of that System Restore disk space, start up

Disable Vista Services that you do not need

2007-05-02T13:48:00.000-07:00

Vista running slow? You know why? Microsoft has everything enabled, more than 50 percent of all of the services you do not need, and as time passes, these represent a security risk because hackers will eventually find a way to exploit 1 or more of these services, other than that disabling what you do not need will save Ram, cpu load, and energy.Check out my list I compiled here

Remove Vista Optional Features you do not need

2007-05-02T12:42:00.000-07:00

If you installed Vista yourself and have experience installing previous Windows OSes, you surely noticed that Vista hardly asks any questions about your computer—and what you plan to do with it—than did prior OSes.

Stop hibernation and remove hiberfil.sys from your Vista root directory

2007-04-30T05:51:00.000-07:00

When you use hibernate in Vista it creates a file called hiberfil.sys. This file can grow rather large, you may have noticed that hibernation is also enabled by default when you install Windows Vista. If you don't use hibernate, the hibernate file hiberfil.sys is sometimes large enough to impact the amount of drive space you have available, and you're not able to delete it because it's in use,

Windows Vista includes a two-way firewall that has outbound filtering disabled by default. Why? Because it is complicated for end-users to use so they had that feature turned off as well as hidden.

2007-04-25T20:04:00.000-07:00

When UAC is enabled, software which is run "As Administrator" requires, by default, that a pop-up prompt be responded to, and the Administrator password required (or, if no password has been defined, just a click in the box).Important thing: when you run Vista in normal user mode, shutting down UAC implies that applications which need administrator credentials are denied to run without an UAC

WASHINGTON – When Microsoft introduces its long-awaited Windows Vista operating system this month, it will have an unlikely partner to thank for making its flagship product safe and secure for millions of computer users across the world: the National Security Agency. For the first time, the giant software maker is acknowledging the help of the secretive agency, better known for eavesdropping on
