Scanning the Integrity of All Protected System Files
Windows Vista is still accessible but some programs are not working properly, very slow, it stops responding and sometimes hangs. Maybe some System files has been modified.
Run the following commands:
sfc /verifyonly - Scans integrity of all protected system files. No repair operation is performed.
If there is an error message occurs, repair all the affected system files by running
sfc /scannow - Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible.
How to Open Network Connections Window easily
Despite Microsoft is making networking much easier in Windows Vista, they made it very difficult to open your network connections list or Window. Here's a quick solution:
type ncpa.cpl and press enter. That's it!!!
*I have another. To put a shortcut of Network Connection window on desktop,
Create a folder called
Network Connections.{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
Kill 'Em All
Metallica? Nope...
Got tired of closing all applications one by one. Especially those unstable ones! Here's a Tip to Kill 'Em All at the same time. e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Windows Media Player...
Method 1
This is the easiest method but it's limited: PressCTRL >Click the Programs in the Taskbar >Right-Click >Close Group. That's it!
Method 2
1. Open the Notepad and Task Manager (Ctrl-Shift-Esc)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding Entries to Computer, Internet Explorer, Network and Start button Context Menu (Right-Click Menu)
How? Just Open WinBubble > Miscellaneous Tab > Choose and click which button you'll use > Type the name of the application and locate the program by clicking the Browse button. That's it!
Note: In Internet Explorer, Permission must be set first and the added Entries will become the default application that will open instead of IE.
Manually Adding the Entries (Windows Vista and XP):
1. Open the Regedit.exe and expand the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
2. These are the location of Context Menu Customization settings:
Computer: CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell
Internet Explorer: CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\shell
Network: CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\shell
Start Menu: Directory\Shell
3. Create a folder inside the path above. The folder name is the one that will be seen in the context menu.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Open WinBubble
4. Add another folder named "command", double click "(Default)" and enter the location of the file. You can use a command-line parameter or switch in executing the application.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Open WinBubble\command
Enjoy!

Simple Ways to Tweak your Network and Internet Connections
"WinBubble will start the idea of simplicity combined with knowledge. Everyday, WinBubble features will be explained and dig"
There are many ways to enhance and speed up your Internet Connections: upgrade your Internet access service to a much bigger bandwidth or find another provider which speeds up everything, find the nearest node (for DSL lines), upgrade your networking equipment, and by performing some tweaks that offer ways to potentially enhance your network connections in Windows Vista.
According to Microsoft, "WinInet limits the number of simultaneous connections that it makes to a single HTTP server. If you exceed this limit, the requests block until one of the current connections has completed. This is by design and is in agreement with the HTTP specification and industry standards."
WinFlog
Turns-OFF your monitor instantly by Adding "Monitor OFF" in the Computer Icon and Desktop Context Menu (Right-Click Menu).

Features:
- Adds "Monitor OFF" and "Turn Off Monitor" in the Computer Icon and Desktop Context Menu (Right-Click Menu) respectively.

2. Hack your WEI scores!
WinSAT saves the scores in a XML file located in the Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore folder. Each time you perform benchmarking using WinSAT, it creates a new XML file and stores it in this folder. All you have to do is to open the latest XML file and edit it using WORDPAD.
Fun stuff: Modify your WEI score and show it to your friends just for fun.
CONS: Computer stores may trick their customers by editing the WEI scores. So, be careful! Always, check them by Re-running WinSAT.

9. Microsoft Desktop Window Manager is responsible for the Aero effects in our Windows Vista machine.
Recently, I read a Windows Vista Tip on how to create a Flip 3D shortcut, maybe almost all of the Vista forums, Windows Vista Tweaking guides and Windows Vista Tips and tricks websites has this tip. I was amazed about the tip...because you can create an application that if you click the middle part of your mouse (scroll wheel button), Flip3D will execute. WOW!
One question pops-up in my head, how about the other commands? After experimenting with it, I found 3 functioning parameters.
Activate Flip3D: Rundll32 dwmApi #105
Turn off the Glass style effect: Rundll32 dwmApi #104
Turn on the Glass style effect: Rundll32 dwmApi #102
Note: Run the command prompt as Administrator
I search for a Vista Tip/Blogs/Articles like this (Aero Off and On) but I didn't found any, maybe this is the FIRST. I hope so. hehehe...here's a guide on how to create a shorcut using these commands.
