Microsoft on optimizing Vista - links to MS sites - good for "Newbies"

Hello all,
often we have threads on "tweaking" and in most cases its a myth.

These links from Micrsoft give you a few basics - they will seem awfully familiar to people who know what they are doing.

At the same time - for "newbies" - these links will offer a reasonably safe way of figuring out how to potentially increase performance.

I'll add links as I find them on the Microsoft site.

Why couldn't you post it here?

 

Those are all SUPER SAFETY tweaking/optimizing.
I always do those optimizing that MS pointed out.
That's why I do not like 3rd party softwares tweaking/optimizing so much.
Last time, I did like tweaking but end up system unstable or dead. I told myself do not tweak using 3rd party softwares and manually adjust registry again.

I want to add your REP but can't? What happen?

 

Thanks.

That was the idea I had - just put MS links in here - this is what Microsoft says you can do - so you won't break anything.

(oh my memories from XP... )

This text has been amended to rectify the following error.
The name "Microsoft" was mistyped as "Microsot".

 

Oh my, was that a lapsus linguae or what? Micro sot! Not that I'm not saying it doesn't fit - it might be translated as tiny drunkard!

 

Ups - well spotted. Thanks, I'll correct it.

 

Oh no, don't mess it up - I think it's beautiful, and ought to stay!

 

I already did - it can stay on in your quote, and I'll put a notice in my post.
