Telescope Reviews: Re: Share Vista Tweaks and Tips

One of the best features in Vista is its amazing search. The search can be easily fine tuned. You right click on the start button. In the dialog that comes up make sure start menu tab is selected. Click on the customize button. Scroll down till you see search. If you want you can search communications, favorites and history, search programs and the most powerful is search entire index.
You can then customize the index from the control panel. Again Vista is search, search and search. Learn to use it and you will be twice as productive in Vista as your were in XP. On the upper right of the control panel is a search. Type in ind and boom there is the index. Wow isn't that great Vista rocks!!!!!!!! You can tell which folders to index and you can filter it to index only certain file extensions. I keep my songs on a secondary hard drive and if I used the default search settings I could never find my songs. With the tips above I just hit the start type kenny wa and boom there are all of my kenny wayne shepherd songs. I love Vista!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no no run command in the start menu we are all going to die. Well if you must have it you can add it from the customize start menu but why. The search is also the run command. That's right isn't Vista super groovy awesome. want command line just type cmd, msconfig just type mscon boom there it is. The search is far better then the run. The run you have to have exact spelling with search you do not. So keep that run command hidden you don't need it. It is just too 90's.
