ok i now there has been a lot of slating about vista, and to be honest i can see where a lot of people are coming from, however i have to say with half decent hardware, vista can be a delight to use and does move along quite nicely on my system.
Tip 1.
well my first tip for vista is to customise windows explorer, there are two tweaks ive done on my system the first one is to change the shortcut for windows explorer as it defaults to opening up on "documents", in my opinion a completely useless starting point!.
to do this open windows explorer then navigate to the "computer" root menu item, drag this item to your taskbar (or desktop if you prefer desktop icons) by right clicking and then when prompted select "create shortcut here", you can then delete your old windows explorer shortcut and rename this one to "windows explorer", and voila it starts up showing all your drives on your pc.
Tip 2.
ok my second tip is to get rid of the useless default "favorite links" you see in windows explorer and create some new ones instead.
to do this open windows explorer then right click the default favorite links and choose delete, do this for all of the favorite links you dont need, next we need to add in our own favorites, to do this navigate to your most commonly used folders and then right click and drag and drop them one by one to the favorites links, by default they will be named the same as the folder, but if you wan you can right click them and give them a more meaningful name by choosing "rename".
if anybody has any other useful tips then please let me know.
