Book Description

“Why didn’t they ask me before they did that?”

Vista is the most radical revamping of Windows since 1995. But along with all the fantastic improvements, there are a couple of things that drive you up the wall. Maybe you’re not seeing the performance you expect. Security is better, but boy, is it annoying. And what’s with that interface thing that’s just in the way? Well, you can fix all that. When you and Steve Sinchak are finished, you’ll think Microsoft designed Vista just for you.

How to improve the view – A few of the things you’ll learn to do:

Tweak logon screen settings

Build custom Sidebar gadgets

Personalize Aero Glass with themes and visual styles

Customize Internet Explorer 7

Configure BIOS for maximum boot speed

Crank up Windows Explorer

Turn your PC into an HDTV Media Center

Fine-tune your firewall
