I’m kind of new to Windows Vista. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about different types of Windows Vista, for example Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premier and Windows Vista Business. I going to buy a new computer in a few weeks and I have no idea of what type of Windows Vista operating system I am going to buy. Can someone out there tell me the difference between the different types of Windows Vistas I listed above. Thank you for your help!

PS: Don’t answer this question if you are a smart -ass and wish to criticise my utter lack of knowledge in this area.

When i start my computer i am asked which i want to start it under windows vista or microsoft windows vista. I choose windows vista which is the better one. What is the other one and how do i get rid of it.

I have window xp on my computer and all this talk about how great windows vista is, so should i get it for my pc or should i keep windows xp? Also what makes vista that much better and improved.

Windows Vista is the operating system that is automatically pre loaded with several mind blowing features but they all may not be helpful for your computer system. After Windows XP, Vista was released with so many features that would make any one fall for this platform. You have the right to optimize the computer system and can win over certain functions to be able to disable them which are otherwise not in use. Still many people don’t use all of the features and in this case it would be better to disable the unnecessary features.

Steps to disable unnecessary features in Windows Vista!

1. Select the Start button and then choose Control Panel.

2. Select the Programs icon.

3. The third step is to select the “Enable or disable” option for windows programs and features, under the same heading.

4. Then you will have to select the “Continue” tab.

5. After the above step, the list of the features present in the system will be shown. You have to uncheck the boxes of all those features that you do not want to use. For an instance, you can uncheck the box of Tablet Pc in case you do not have that or can also uncheck the games box if you are not using Windows games prior DFS Replication Service and so on. The choice is entirely yours.

6. Finally, Select the OK tab when you are done with it. You can again recheck them if the need arises.

If you need to have complete authoritative rule on to the Windows vista and its related features because you do not want the other users to make any changes to your computer and settings then you need to have the administrator account to your name. There are perhaps many reasons for why you would want this to do, but it’s always good to change the settings for privacy purpose. This way you can restrict the other users from making any changes to your computer and operating system in order to protect your files and folders.

To make Admin account on Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate:

1. Click on Start button, type the phrase “secpol.msc” into the search box and press enter.

2. Then select the option “Local Policies” and further “Security Options”.

3. Now set the account “Administrator account” status to be “Enabled”.

4. Now set the User Account Control through “Admin Approval Mode” all for the in built Administrator account to be “Disabled”.

After following the above steps you will be logged on into the Windows Vista with complete administrative rights when you will log on next time. There will not be any prompting of security as it used to be earlier because now you have the complete authorities of the administrator for your computer system. Just follow the simple steps in right manner and your computer is ready to be used the way you desire and always wanted.
