  1. The malware file had been removed. But the startup/registry entry remains. A CCleaner registry clean-up might help...

  7. There are several sites, mentioning tweaks about how to create a Flip 3D shortcuts on the desktopp: Basically as follows: Right click on your desktop. Select New > Shortcut. Copy-Paste RunDll32 DwmApi #105 into the location box > Next. In name enter Flip3D, and click on Finish. Copy/Cut-Paste your new shortcut where ever you want. But fewer mentioning how to reclaim the Flid 3D icon. Here is how how can use the original Flip 3D icon: A copy of the Flip 3D icon is present in each user profile, and also in the Default user profile. Follow these steps to restore the icon to your user account: Click Start, type the following and press Enter : %systemdrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Right-click the Switch between windows shortcut and choose Copy (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL+C) Click Start, type the following and press Enter: %userprofile%\ AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Right-click an empty area in the folder, and choose Paste (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL+V) This way not only have you created the Flip 3D shortcut on your desktop, but given it back, its original icon.
  8. Here is a way to convert Google or any Gadget and use it on your Vista's SideBar. I have tried it successfully with Widgets from widgetbox too. You can transform almost any gadget into one that can live on the Windows Vista sidebar or your Desktop. Download & Install Amnesty Generator. Then, choose a Web gadget you'd like to turn into a Vista gadget, click a few buttons to display the gadget's underlying HTML code. Copy and paste that code into Amnesty Generator, change a few settings, such as the gadget's name or size, if you wish, and tell Amnesty Generator to turn it into a Windows Vista gadget. The gadget will appear in the Windows Vista Gadget Gallery. From there you can move it to the Sidebar or even your Desktop.

Rt-click on Computer and click on Properties. Here you will get to see your machines Windows Experience Index ! My hpdv6226us shows ALL OF 2.2 actually! But you can easily change this figure as follows ! Well, this is more of a gag tweak, actually ! Go to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore and check for the latest xml file. Open it with Word. Navigate to Lines 12-19. They will show scores of your PC on various accounts. Although the scores are meant to have a range from 1.0 to 5.9, you can just change the main one in Line-12 to whatever figure you want. Save the file with the same name. You may have to disable UAC. Now check your WEI ! It will show you the figure you wrote ! And your "new" WEI will be permanently saved till you run the performance test again.

Installing/Configuring Windows Update 5. Adding/Removing/Changing user accounts/types 6. Accessing, Viewing or Changing another User
