Vista Tweaks & Tips

If you are like me I was looking for the RUN command in the start menu but its not there!! Dont threat just type the command you want in the search box and its acts as both. :)

The Windows Vista default setting is to show the Welcome Center on startup. While the Welcome Center is interesting the first time you see it, you will quickly be anoyed of it appearing every time you boot up. This is easily changed by unchecking the Run at Startup button located at the bottom left of the Welcome Center window.

Reduce Desktop Icons
By default, the Windows Vista uses what it classifies as "Medium" icons on the Desktop. Medium in this case is really HUGE. (There is also a Large icon setting, but we won't go there.) To bring the icons back to a less eye-popping size:

Right click on the Desktop
Choose the View menu item and change to Classic Icons POOF your done...
