  • Vista drivers for the Toshiba M200 Tablet

    Finally! Corey found m200 drivers for Vista that were released on 3/20/2007 on the Swiss support site. The page is not English, but as Corey said it's pretty easy to figure out. (The drivers themselves have english versions). That said, here are the direct links: Bluetooth Monitor Config Free Display...

  • Start++ brings WDS shortcuts to the Vista start menu

    Brandon recently released a tool for Vista that brings Windows Desktop Search-style shortcuts to the start menu (and command line). Users of WDS on XP may recall the “Deskbar Shortcuts” functionality that allows you to create little aliases between words or characters with commands and searches. For...

  • Disabling UrgeMS.exe

    I noticed my machine running slower lately, and UrgeMS.exe (URGE Media Scanner) was thrashing the disk and running up to 50% CPU. Obviously, this is part of MTV's URGE music store, the default store for Windows Media Player 11. It appears that the process is related to the "Auto-Mix" feature, which I...

  • The Joys of Vista - New user folder structures

    In the past, we had C:\documents and settings\User\My Documents. Now we have C:\Users\User\Documents. Better yet, the Documents finally is just for documents. Instead of putting My Videos and My Music and My Pictures within the My Documents folder, they have been moved up a level and are now "even" with...

  • The Joys of Vista - Search is Everywhere

    I already mentioned the updated Start Menu , which allows you to search. But there are Search Boxes literally everywhere in Vista that allow you to filter the results. This search box is in everything, including Windows Explorer. In Explorer, you can click the Save Search icon in the toolbar and save...

  • The Joys of Vista - Quick Launch keyboard shortcuts

    You can launch programs in your Quick Launch toolbar using the Win+ position . So if you have Outlook as the second item in your Quick Launch toolbar, you can open it by pressing Win+2. ( via Lifehacker )

  • The Joys of Vista - The New Start Menu

    I absolutely love the new start menu. No more Start -> Run (Win+R). Instead, you can just press the Win key and start typing the name of the program you want to run. It even searches your favorites, history, documents and e-mail. In fact, I don't even really worry about organizing my Start menu anymore...

  • The Joys of Vista

    I've been running Vista for awhile now off and on during the beta, and it's been on both my desktop and tablet since it was released to manufacturing. Though the cost may preclude some folks from running it, I've really fallen in love and I hate using XP at work. As they say, it's the little things ...

  • Installing self-signed Certificates in Vista

    This post tells you how to install the key. According to Eric Lawrence, the program manager for IE Networking, " unlike on XP, you must click the 'Place all certificates in the following store' radio button, and choose the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities” store. If you don’t do this, the certificate...

  • Windows SideShow in a bag

    This is very, very cool, and I want one now . Imagine, as Kevin puts it, seeing e-mails, contact info or RSS feeds without removing your device from the bag. Simply awesome. The only thing that concerns me is that the Eleksen Wearable Display Module will apparently "offer a gigabyte of memory". Personally...
