Kudos once more to Vishal!

I've used FxVisor (Shortcut Arrow Overlay Remover) and TweakUAC. These useful gems have made computing life with Vista eye-pleasing and less irritating. I'm going to try this trick and see if it would bump up the speed of my rig.

If it's from Vishal, it must be wonderfal, I mean, wonderful.
