Tweaks, tricks, and hacks to make Windows Vista fly

I read this with interest. Can anyone tel me, a total amateur what I can do to regain access to my WLAN? It worked fine until a couple of weeks ago and now it tells me it detects no networks. Other laptops - this one - still work fine on the same WLAN! Any suggestions?

I really feel that the title of this article is misleading. Nothing done here makes Vista work any better except turning off the sidebar which reduces your default resource usage, but turning off the Aero theme saves even more. Additionally, I wanted to point out how dumb it is to 'Add the Run command' to the Start Menu. The search bar, that is on the Start Menu by default, does more than just search. Typing in the name of a command searches the entire drive for the exe and pressing Enter executes it. In many ways, I think it is better than the Run command because you don't have to worry about typing the path in. The only time you would need Run is if you commonly need to put switches on your exes...which can be done from a command prompt just as easily.

If all you really want is productivity enhancements, learn the shortcut keys for Vista as many have been added since XP.

I am new a MS Vista user, and this info did help me, no they did not make Vista fly, but the run command and search command, did escape me, this makes things faster for me. I think that is a very important tweak of any OS. I can performing tasks faster now. BTW,I have HATE, Love, HATE relationship with VISTA at this point.
