I am going to show you how to customize almost every aspect of Windows Vista. By the time you are finished with this book, your Windows Vista will look and feel as if Microsoft designed it just for you.
Performance is a major component of your Windows Vista experience. Windows Vista demands more out of your hardware than ever before. After all, when you add many new features, various types of automation, and a slick 3D user interface, you are going to need something more powerful than a computer that barely runs Windows XP. However, you also do not need to go out and buy a completely new computer. In this book, I show you how to fine-tune the settings and features in Windows Vista to make it run faster on hardware that is not exactly the cutting edge anymore.
Hundreds of new security features protect your computer from all types of threats. This book shows you how to take advantage of the new security features as well as how to tame some of the more annoying features such as User Account Control while still benefiting from the feature's protection.
This book is intended for all Windows Vista users who are interested in customizing the operating system, improving the performance, and using the latest security features and tools to secure Windows Vista. Previous Windows experience is necessary for this book. Most of the topics in this book are geared toward a more advanced Windows user, but every section is written in a way that even beginner Windows users can understand.
Windows Vista Ultimate is required to perform all tweaks and hacks mentioned in this book. You can use other versions of Windows Vista but you may find that certain sections do not work because that particular feature of Windows Vista is not in your version.
