Increase performance easily
The real performance hit in Windows Vista is within its power management settings. In the advanced settings, there are spots to set the minimum and maximum CPU speed. Even on "high performance" the minimum isn't set to 100%, so to fix the problem, either create a custom profile or just edit the "high performance" profile to have a minimum and maximum CPU speed of 100%. This will cause Vista not to slow the CPU down, so you will have ultimate performance. Vista runs better and there is a noticeable responsiveness to it when the CPU setting is fixed. This setting is good for desktops and laptops on plugged in power. Adjust as needed for laptops on batteries, but that should be on a separate power profile, anyway.

Set the Run option in the Windows Vista Start menu
The Run option in the menu of Windows XP is a handy way to access various features of the operating system. Windows Vista Versions do not have that option because it have a search box on the Start menu, where you just enter the name of the desired option or for the results to appear.
In general, the option to search in Windows Vista is more practical, but it does not record a history of words, terms and commands searched. Therefore, many users do not like to use the menu of modern and sophisticated operating system from Microsoft.
The good news is that you can add a much desired option Run in the Start menu of Windows Vista and best of all is that you will not need to change registration or administrative settings. Follow the instructions below and see how easy it is.
1) Clicking the right mouse button over the symbol of the Start menu, choose "Properties."
2) In the properties window that opens, go to the "Start Menu" and click "Customize ...".
3) Now just check the option "Run Command" to implement the changes made, click "OK" and on "Apply" then
4) There, the Run command is within reach of your mouse.
If you from some reason need to remove this Run command from start menu simply repeat above steps but at the last step you have to uncheck file "Run Command".

Make multiple selections in Windows Explorer
You probably know that it is possible to select multiple files in Windows Explorer by holding down the [Ctrl] key while you click on the files. But the handling sometimes leads to false movements requiring any re-select ...
We have more to offer:
From Windows Explorer, click Organize and then Folder Options. Go to the "View" tab. Scroll down the list "Advanced Settings" to the end and check the “Use the checkboxes to select items”.
Therefore, whenever the mouse flies over a file, a check box appears, allowing you to select multiple files without using the keyboard. This is particularly useful in display list mode.


What is the keyboard shortcut key to display the 3D?
Windows Vista has two modes to switch from one application to another: the classic mode (which displays a miniature view of the application rather than its icon), and a mode called "Flip 3D" tilt windows applications by a movement of rotation in 3 dimensions.
To activate Flip 3D, use: The key combination [Windows] + [Tab] (in this instant you exit the Flip 3D mode when you release the Windows key). Or the [Ctrl] + [Windows] + [Tab] (in this mode to the PC remains in Flip 3D mode after releasing the [Windows] until you select a window).
Tip one: once the Flip 3D mode activated, press [Down Arrow] or [Right Arrow] to scroll through the applications forward. [Up Arrow] or [Left Arrow] to scroll through the applications to the back. You can also use the mouse wheel to scroll through windows. Remember that the switch uses classical him, the key combination [Alt] + [Tab]. Note: Some old keyboards do not have the [Windows] button.
