Here's a neat trick i found and want to share with you:
Use the Notepad as your personal diary
There is a simple feature in Notepad that can make it work like a personal diary for you.
Here is how to go about it:
1.Firstly open a blank Notepad file.
2. Now write .LOG as the first line in the file, then press enter. Now save the file and close it.
3.Open the notepad file now and you will find that the current date and time has been appended(put) at the end and the cursor is in the next line.
4. Type your notes and then save and close the file.
5. Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process,that is it appends the date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor below it.
This way you can keep track of all your entries,you can easily monitor which article you wrote when.This can work very much like a personal diary.Try it out and let me know how you find it?

Hey i havent tried this yet, but how does it improve the system performance..
isnt default the maximum..i meant Windows would want to sell vista at its best
why would they leave this?
VG
^^ Every system can have different number of processors, so how can they set it to any exact number?
By using this tweak, we are telling Windows the exact number of processors in our system, so that it doesnt waste time in calculating the number and can use the max from it.

Ah ok i just tested it out, and it made my firewall (Zone Alarm Pro) have a error and wouldnt work, it said that "True Vector has been disabled"
So had to reboot with normal startup with default.
OS: Vista Basic
CPU:AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53, 1800 Mhz, 2 Cores
RAM: 512 (Readyboost 1800mbs) btw Ready boost seems to slow my comp.. its a SanDisk Cruzer Micro Flash drive.
do u have anytips on the best way i could improve my performance
i have Reg Cure,Trojan Hunter,NOD32,Threatfire and Zone Alarm Pro
and today i just did a full scan with all of the above
and i haven't seen a noticeable change in my performance..
