Windows VistaWho hasn’t had issues with Microsoft’s operating system? You can put up with them until they really become unmanageable and you have to do a complete reboot of your system, or you can take the time to fix up your copy of XP or Vista to work just the way you want. PC Advisor have a good list of 30 quick fixes to improve the performance of your system, from startup to internet connection, disk cleaning or setting up automatic backup.

While a few of these tips only suggest software that gets the job done, others require a bit more fiddling around with your system. One of these teaches you how to stop Vista from making unnecessary and bulky copies of all your files. Another handy tip is the first one in the list. It’ll guide you into finding and uninstalling all those drivers that keep piling up in your system. I’d also recommend taking a look at how to manage files from your right-click menu, to speed up your every day use of Windows. A useful way of avoid flaws and problems with your system is to make regular checkups. Obviously it’s not the most exciting thing you can do with your day, so the best is to automate the task. Check out how to do this straight from your command line. There’s much more tips in that list, that I suggest you take the time to look through, whether you’ve had trouble with your copy of Windows or want to avoid any issue.
