Today’s tip was sent in by Al from VistaRewired. Al has put together a list of Ten Tips And Tricks Every Vista user Should Know. Although some of these aren’t strictly ‘tips’ they do provide interesting information. For instance, I finally discovered why my memory utilization is always high even though I have 4GB of memory.

Below are the ten Vista Tips & Tricks:

1. Delay Vista activation for at least a year
2. What to do when Windows defragment tool hangs or takes forever
3. Get video wallpapers (Dreamscene Effect) without getting Vista Ultimate
4. Create icons without text
5. Disable useless services from a list of every Vista service that ever existed
6. How to build a powerful and cheap Vista PC (around $500)
7. How to triple boot (XP, Vista, Ubuntu)
8. Resize your Windows partition for free
