Windows tools, and its small accessories (in the desktop with the right help and entertainment of the small accessories) Vista is one of the great characteristics. Therefore, you need to do the first step is to let the toolbar is always visible and add some new accessories.
Double-click the system tray icon on the toolbar visible to Windows. You can see already have some default accessories. Click on the toolbar to add labels to your favorite accessories dragged into a toolbar. Click on the bottom right window "on-line for more accessories" link, you can get more accessories.

Windows Vista than any previous versions of Windows must be safe, but he overlooked an important safety features - anti-virus software. Although there are a lot of pay for anti-virus software, but the fact is, you do not need to pay for virus protection.
Some common with the Vista operating a non-profit nature of the anti-virus program, including AVG Anti-Virus and Avast. I have used Avast for Vista and the final version of the trial, is very practical. It will not take up too much memory and system resources to provide customized protection, also provides real-time monitoring and virus scanning.
3, change the settings files and folders
Vista, files and folders the default display of people rather hinder flu, and very annoying. Default settings, you can not see system files and hidden files and folders. To make matters worse, most of the extensions are hidden.
Very easy to swap all this can be amended. Open your browser, select Folder Options. Then in the menu that appears, select "folder and search options", click on the file folder settings dialog. Click the "Advanced Settings", the "hidden files and folders" select group "Show hidden files and folders." Then abolish the "hide known file types of extension" and "Hide protected system files."

ReadyBoost is usually used to store the documents in order to protect depositors to read. Read documents from the flash memory than to read documents from the hard drive much faster, so as to enhance the operating speed of the computer.
ReadyBoost 256 MB-4GB available as a virtual memory. In order to achieve the best results, Microsoft recommends flash memory and system memory for the ratio between 1:1 to 2.5:1. In other words, if you have 512 MB of memory, you can use 512 MB capacity to 1.25 GB of memory. If it is 2 GB of system memory, the use of 2 GB to 4 GB of memory capacity of the best results.
Note that not all of the USB flash drive with ReadyBoost is the use of standards. It must support USB2.0, and transmission rates of up to read 3.5 MB / sec (4 KB block), write speed of 2.5 MB / sec (512 KB block). So before buying flash drive to confirm whether or not consistent with the standards.
But so far there is no certification process to tell you which flash drive which can not, though Microsoft said the final would be such a certification process. But now there are some third-party evaluation report to resolve this issue. Of course, the direct use ReadyBoost test also very convenient.
ReadyBoost very convenient to use. Insert the USB flash drive, the display on the options, select "sped up my system." If the flash drive does not apply, will appear on the display tips. If applicable, you will see a window. Accept the default settings, or move the slider to change the use of capacity. Confirmed that "the use of this equipment" was selected, then click to confirm. This set up!
