Apart from that, I would highly recommend BORAT the movie.Let’s say I am a fan of Sacha Cohen from the AliG days and he was sensational as the Gay French race car driver in Talladega Nights but with Borat the Kazakh journalist…he just took it to

I think that the UAC prompts appear on the secure desktop for, um, security reasons. My understanding is that this prevents them from being the target of Shatter attacks, so that an attacker can’t automatically click the Allow button for you.

Hey can you suggest me which program to use for nice rss feeds? on vista as may popular ones dont work :(

btw thanks for the tips

Nice list of tips Chris, although I now disagree with #5.

Although when using RC1 I previously switched off the Secure Desktop finding it too intrusive, I discovered there’s actually a very good reason NOT to recommend this to the average user. The reason for implementing it is that it is a very secure way to prevent malicious applications spoofing the dialogue window that requests elevation or even authorising itself, since only system processes (nothing run at the user level) are allowed on the Secure Desktop.

Thanks for providing these tips, I purchased a new laptop yesterday that came loaded with Vista. These tips will definately come in handy.

On the side at the top of your page you have a link to receive a free Windows Vista. Of course anything free is not and if it sounds too good to be true it is. I spent over 20 minutes filling out mind numbing forms, answering no to senseless offers only to find my self in a labyrinth of endless forms, never to reach the goal of the final offer.

My question is this. Why would someone I trust as being reputable put such a link on your website? Now I can only imagine all the junk mail I am going to receive and I know I will never get the copy of Windows Vista.

[...] Chris Pirillo has posted 10 tips for tweeking Vista… found on LifeHacker, but here is the original post. [...]

[...]  General: Computer running slow? Spyware? Virus? Read my “How to Improve and Maintain Computer Performance & Security” located on our ” Search” page “. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).  This document gives easy to follow step by step details on how to clean and protect your computer. Revised in February 2006, it now has a lot more of helpful information on various issues. For first use, I suggest you do all 18 steps, and doing all can take from 4 to 6 hours, depending on your computer, software and current configurations. Also, you don’t have to do them all in the same day. The actual results will vary depending on your computer but I think you will be amazed at the improvement you see. If you like, print it out and ask someone with experience to review it.Once you’ve done those steps, try my “Basic Computer Maintainance” document for routine monthly maintenance. The routine maintenance helps keep your computer clean and running good. These documents are free and can be downloaded from our search page. Notice: Neither of my documents have been tested on the new Windows Vista yet. If you have Windows Vista, I do not recommend you try these. Instead, try these websites as a starting point. – http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/01/20/top-10-tweaks-tips-and-tricks-for-windows-vista/ - http://www.howtogeek.com/tag/windows-vista/             *****************************************Want to Learn about Texas,,,http://www.tourtexas.com/  http://www.texas.gov/http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/ [...]

Please at least allow your system settings to stabilize before you do something as stupid as disabling UAC. I am an extreme power user and a developer, and I do all sorts of evil things to my computers. Despite all of that I generally only hit 1 UAC prompt per day.

UAC is tons more than just the prompts, please give it a chance. Do not rely on the carmudgeons who write blogs to get your information.

On the opposite end of the user spectrum, I have talked to several home users who have purchased OEM machines with Vista preinstalled. For each of them, I have deliberately triggered a UAC prompt, and asked them if they had seen it in (some have had their computers for a week, others for months). Few of them had seen a prompt, and only then if they were installing one of their old applications.

I just bought a laptop with vista and cant get the toggle function to work properly. I like switching between window/applications using alt+tab, I call this toggling. What am I doing wrong? This has worked on windows since the caveman days??

[...] Trick out the Windows Task Manager: Finally! As compared to XP, the Windows Task manager in Vista can actually give you useful information about running processes. Windows guy Chris Pirillo explains: The Windows Task Manager gives you a lot more troubleshooting information in Vista. Flip to the Processes tab, and in the View menu, click “Select Columns” and add Description, Command Line, and Image Path Name. Moreover, when you right-click a process, you can select either “Go to Service(s)” or “Open File Location.” These are all long overdue options. [...]
