How to fix annoying features for Vista?Submitted by Shalini Mon, 10 Nov 2008
Window Vista, an operating system by Microsoft, which was released on January 30, 2007. Vista is developed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and digital media between computers and devices.
The Windows Vista was designed to provide a proficient environment for users, but it didn’t work well in the market due to some of its non acceptable features. It was announced as "doomed and worst operating ystem ever by Microsoft," but things are changed now. Still users get irritaed by some of its features. The article enlists some irritating flops along with quick fixes and workarounds. User Account Control: People using Window Vista observe some troubles to handle user accounts. With Vista, users are not able to find out why a given act is considered dangerous? The administrator has to confirm user name and password many times during processing and as a result people get annoyed and start to ignore UAC (User account Control), effectively removing any protection it might provide. Some quick fixes to ignore this problem, simply turn off your PC and the second one is to alter the UAC settings. Another good method can be the usage of TweakUAC program, which is a free program that can turn off for administrative account according to user’s convenience. Data Backup: Data backup is one of the crucial jobs that no user can ignore, as the loss of valuable data can cause gigantic problems for a user. The data backup can be taken everyday by spending a little time, while the lack of a system backup could cost you a couple of hours reinstalling Windows and your applications. Some solutions to backup problem are use of bundled software (i.e. use the backup program that came with your drive), use of Mozy program (a free 2GB back up program) and use of Argentum program (a backup program that take backup of selective data). Firewall usage: The users of Windows Vista sometimes face problems related with the suspicious contents. Though it blocks suspicious stuff that comes in, it does nothing about what your PC sends out. Vista provide the facility to blocks suspicious stuff entry, Vista's designers forgot to put the controls that turn the facility on. Solution to this problem is to install another better firewall on your computer. One such free well known firewall program is Comodo Firewall Pro. Programs and Features Uninstaller: Another dilemma with Windows Vista is uninstalling a program. Vista took the old Control Panel applet called 'Add and Remove Programs' and renamed it 'Programs and Features', but the developers didn't otherwise change it. A better solution to the above problem is the use of programs like Revo Uninstaller, which is a free program that offers a convenient interface to uninstalling a program. Windows Explorer's Address Bar: The problems with the address bar is that it lists only recently visited folders, secondly it also lists all the recently web pages that sometimes create panic to the users. Better alternative to the above problem is the use of a free add-on FileBox eXtender that adds drop-down Recent and Favorites menus to Windows Explorer. Other options can be the use of favorite folder list wisely. Users can easily place a shortcut to any folder and this problem can be overcome At end note, it can be concluded that Vista can be made to run your way by making certain tweaks. The opearting system is more secure and less problematic. For more infor visit he link:www.itvoir.com
