10 First Tweaks to Windows Vista After Installation

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

I’ve been through a few reinstalls of Windows Vista. Here are the first 10 things I do to tweak Windows_Vista_55.jpgthings to my liking. Hopefully someone else out there can use a few of these.

1. Get your display resolution set up the way you like
Start orb -> Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Display Settings
- Move slider to your desired resolution
or click the Advanced Settings button -> List all modes -> Choose your desired resolution and color depth

2. Turn off annoying sounds
I just don’t think start up and shutdown sounds are necessary. Especially if you have a laptop and are prone to using it during a meeting or other quiet place.
Start orb -> Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Sounds
- Change Exit Windows to None
- Change Start Windows to None
- Change Windows Logoff to None
- Change Window Logon to None 10 First Tweaks to Windows Vista After Installation - Vista Horizons
