Microsoft releasing document for vista
Microsoft released a document a week ago about Windows Vista Performance and Tuning. The document is about educating the user on configuring their Vista to meet the balance between speed and responsiveness. In an excerpt:
Windows Vista and SP1 focus on delivering greater performance and overall system responsiveness. By striking a balance between speed and responsiveness, Windows Vista and SP1 deliver a level of performance that has the greatest positive impact on the system’s usability.This guide looks at the following areas of performance improvement:
• Making configuration changes that help a computer feel more responsive when you use it.
• Using hardware to boost the actual physical speed of a computer.
• Making configuration changes that help a computer to start faster.
• Making the computer more reliable may help increase performance.
• Monitoring performance occasionally so that you can stop problems before they get too big.
Microsoft just keeps on releasing documents, information and stuff that erases the negative stigma that Vista has delivered in its early days. Given that they have dropped XP and are forcing consumers to use Vista, it is just right that they keep on supplying these information spending a few bucks here and there. They did sell 160 million licenses and that is a lot of money for them.

Rename your start button in XP
Add Your Name in desktop context menu in Windows XP
This tutorial is about adding your name or anything like for example your name, your girl friends name, or your nick name in the top of the desktop context menu.
It would look like just like this:
requirments:- resource hacker and windows Xp operating system.
Note:- Also if you are getting error “Can’t create file…“, that means you have edited and saved the same file in past and there is a backup file which need to be deleted before saving this file again. Go to the folder containing this file and you’ll see a similar file having “_original” in its name. Delete it and try to save the file in resource hacker.
Tutorial begin
1. Open “%windir%\System32\Shell32.dll” file in resource hacker and
goto:Menu -> 215 -> 10332.
Now add following line:
MENUITEM xyz, 33333, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED MFS_DEFAULT
* just after the :
215 MENUEX
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{POPUP “”, 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0
{
3. Replace xyz with any string which you want to add but with quotes. e.g.
MENUITEM “!*~.Charly.~*!”, 33333, MFT_STRING, MFS_GRAYED MFS_DEFAULT
4. Click on “Compile Script” button.
5. Save the file and restart your Windows to see the affects.
BONUS TIP: You can remove “MFS_GRAYED” or “MFS_DEFAULT” or both to have some different look. “MFS_GRAYED” is used to disable the text, if you’ll remove it, your name will look like an enabled item. “MFS_DEFAULT” is used to show the text in Bold, if you’ll remove it, your name will be shown as normal text instead of Bold.
Use your pen drive as a temporary ram in vista
Till this date, Microsoft’s windows had Page File (A virtual memory file, stored on hard disk) options for the memory requirement of the computer, so that the computing can be done at cheaper rates and that too without installing the physical memory (RAM).
The page file is used by the Windows OS to cater the needs of various applications when the physical memory is fully used up. The reason for that is, that Virtual memory is slower as compared to the physical memory and thus Phyical memory takes the first priority.
However, with the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft has introduced a new technology called ReadyBoost. With the help of this technology one can use any Flash drive, SD Cards, CF Cards as the third memory option for the computer.
Now, the benefits of Flash Drive or Cards as a source of Memory :
1. It is faster than the virtual memory which is accessed through the hard disk drive.
2. It is cheaper as compared to the actually Physical Memory.
How can it be activated ?
In order to activate the ReadyBoost technology on your FlashDrive or Memory Cards, you have to follow these steps…
1. Open My Computer.
2. Right Click on the Removable Disk Drive and select Properties.
3. Click on ReadyBoost Tab.
4. Enable the feature by selecting the option and allocate the amount of space you want to use as memory.
Things to be noted….
1. Regardless of the fact that you use Readyboost or not, you need at least 512 Mb of memory to run Windows Vista decently.
2. If your device is not giving the option of ReadyBoost then it means that it doesn’t clear up the minimum data trasfer rate required by ReadBoost technology.
