Exclamation Vista System Configuration
Does anyone know where I can get info on Vistas System configuration. Whereas a list of all services and startup items with detailed info so I can figure out what I can disable without hurting anything and try to boost the performance of my computer a little.
Thanks for any help!

I'd like to make a correction. Try the link www.tweakguides.com/TGTC.html and it will give you access to Windows Vista and Windows XP tweaks.

It's upgraded for Vista .... http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

IMHO .. It's better that UAC.
