Here's what I do in-order to optimize Vista...
Turn off the following:
System Restore / Previous Versions
Windows Defender
UAC
Automatic Updates
Indexing of my drives
Stop and disable the Superfetch service
Also add a USB memory stick and turn on ReadyBoost. Vista runs quite well after that. Disk is very quite where as after a clean install for me - even after running for a few weeks - my disk was still chugging away almost constantly. |
