Vista "My computer has become a" computer ", in general, this location is not to hold the file, but, as long as the document to the system disk: \users\ username \appdata\roaming\microsoft
\windows\network shortcuts can be displayed in computer.

7. Low configuration also play aero

Microsoft Pinyin icon After a button, choose the ABC input style, you can switch to the intelligent ABC input style, but we all know, Microsoft Pinyin occupies a large resource, but also bad use, online has been made free intelligent
The ABC 5.22 Vista version, but there is a problem, that this input method runtime to use the account must have administrator rights.
1. Get "Vista Smart ABC Installer" from the CD and run this installer.
2. Right-click the Language bar, select Properties, add Itabc 5.22 ime on it.

10. Find the hidden "command line prompt Here" feature

You can sometimes open a command line prompt and turn to the current directory, and Vista also takes this into account, as long as you hold down SHIFT and right-click the directory or drive to see several features that you don't normally see. Although very convenient
, but if you need to do this frequently, it's too much trouble to press shift every time, actually, to modify the registry, you can do this function in the right-click menu forever.
1. Open the Run dialog box, enter "regedit" and OK, enter Registry Editor.
2. Go to "Hkey_classes_root\directory\shell\cmd"
3. Delete the string value "Extended" on the right

\shell\cmd "," hkey_classes_root\drive\shell\cmd "to make the same changes.
5. Restart the computer to see if it was successful?

11. Add "Administrator command line prompt here"

Earlier we talked about finding the hidden "command Prompt Here" feature and quickly opening the command prompt with administrator privileges two tips, but some people say they turn on the UAC feature and sometimes need to be in some directory
Execute some commands that require administrator privileges, although you can click Run and enter "ACMD" and then switch to that directory with the "CD" command, but it's inconvenient. I went through the research, wrote a small program to solve this question
Problem.
1. From the following I made the "Administrator Command Window program and registry files," extract to any folder.
2. Copy the Acmd.exe to the C packing directory.
3. Select a registry file (see the registry file meaning below) and double-click to import into the registry.
4. Now, hold down the SHIFT key or directly (depending on the registry file you choose) right click on the folder/drive, you can find one more command: "Open the Administrator command Window here (2)", click it, there will be a
A prompt box, the display program is not recognized, you can simply click Allow. As you can see, a command-line prompt is open and has administrator privileges.
Tip: Acmd.reg is installed (hold down shift); Acmd_noext.reg is installed (always displayed); Acmd_uninstall.reg is uninstall.


12. Let the UAC window appear on the current user's desktop
In Windows Vista, if the UAC prompt is triggered, Windows Vista does the following by default:
1. Intercept the current desktop background picture
2. Processing the memory inside the desktop background picture, change to grayscale picture
3. Switch to the current user's Winlogon security desktop, the above processed image as a background image
4. Show UAC prompt dialog box
5. Record the user's operation and cut back to the user's original desktop
In the above steps, desktop switching is one of the reasons why the screen flashes. If you do not want to see the flicker of a screen switch, you can use the following methods to display the UAC prompt dialog box in the user's desktop instead of Winlogon
Desktop.
1. Press the WIN+R key to open the Run dialog box and run "gpedit.msc" to continue in the center of the UAC window.
2. Find the "Computer Management → admin template →windows component → voucher user interface → require the trusted path of Credentials" and double click.
3. Select the Enabled box, and then click OK. At this point, run a command that requires administrator privileges, and you can see that the UAC balloon is already displayed on the current user's desktop.
Note: The above approach reduces Windows Vista UAC security features (simply that [url=http://www.pxue.com/tag/93/1.html] malicious programs [/url] may simulate user actions to control the UAC prompt box). Only if you really want to intercept UAC pictures or programs need
When the action is recommended.
Tip: Winlogon security Desktop is the system user's desktop. In Windows xp/2003, the first logged in user has a session ID of 0, and the service and the first user are running on it. And in Vista,
The session ID of the system user is 0, and the first logged on user has a session ID of 1, which is to run the service separately from the user's program. There are no input method vulnerabilities on the secure desktop and it is not possible to run other programs
, that is, there can be no virus to control the UAC prompt box on the secure desktop.

13. Manually add custom search engines to IE7
IE7 has built-in search capabilities and can add other search engines from Microsoft, but there are times when it is inconvenient to add to Microsoft's website, such as the company's bulk installed, install Windows XP+IE7, and then add the company's internal search
When the cable engine, add too cumbersome, in fact, use a registry file can be added.
1. From the following I made the "IE 7 custom Search engine files", extracted to any folder.
2. Make a copy of the Google.reg and open it with Notepad.
3. Open Guidgen.exe, select Registry format, and click Copy. Replace the long curly braces in Notepad with the contents in the copy.
4. Open a search engine with IE, search for test, copy the contents of the Address bar, replace test with {searchterms}, and copy to the Clipboard.
5. Replace the "http://www.google.cn/search?q={searchterms}" in Notepad with what you just copied. Then replace "Google search" with the name of the search engine.
6. Double-click to import the registry, you can see the effect.

14. Open programs with administrator privileges in batch processing
You sometimes have to run some batch files from the Internet in Vista, and some batches require administrator privileges, and people sometimes forget to run in admin mode and run batches directly, resulting in batch processing errors. Its
In fact, as long as in the process of batch processing, the need to use administrator rights to run commands through a small program to elevate permissions, you can exempt these errors. Get one of my applet from below "privilege elevation tool", put
Runadmin.exe to the Batch folder, and then add Runadmin.exe (Dos internal command to Runadmin.exe CMD.EXE/C) before the command in batch:
@echo off
At 15:30 H:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
To
@echo off
Runadmin.exe At.exe 15:30 H:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
Can.

15. Enable check box Select File
As we all know, but when you need to select some noncontiguous folders, you can hold down CTRL and click the selection, but sometimes accidentally, it can lead to naught. Vista provides a check box selection method. In the folder window, click
Organize → folder and search options → view → advanced options → use check boxes to select items → OK. Now you will find a mouse over the file appears a selection box, want to choose which one on the hook on the corresponding box on it.

16. Create shortcuts to IE's Clean up system garbage function
IE7 has increased the ability to clean up the system's privacy, but if you want to be clear, you need to open IE first, then click the menu in turn. We can give ie the clean system garbage feature on the desktop to create a shortcut. Right-click the desktop,
Select New shortcut. Enter the command in the following table, click Next, enter a name, and click Finish.

function command
Empty IE cache Rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl,clearmytracksbyprocess 8
Empty Cookies Rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl,clearmytracksbyprocess 2

Empty all of the above Rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl,clearmytracksbyprocess 235
Clear all IE privacy and add-on settings Rundll32.exe inetcpl.cpl,clearmytracksbyprocess 4351

Tip: The command here must be in the correct case, otherwise it may not work!

17. Quickly jump to a location in the registry
We sometimes want to jump to some places in the registry, but those positions are very deep, one by one to find tired. We can get "Registry Jump Tool Vista special Edition" from below and run it in the UAC window to allow the midpoint,
In the position bar, enter the location you want to jump to, and then delete the contents of the Key Value column, click to open the Registry Editor on it.
