  • 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...

  • 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 - 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 ...

  • 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...
