And the good news: The whole process need not take more than half an hour. Afterwards, you'll be rewarded a computer that feels a lot faster.

Change the search location and set the Date modified to today. There is the  option to search for non-indexed, hidden, and system files also.

If there isn't a default Date modified column available, you will need  to add it by right-clicking on the column area, and choosing More and then checking the box beside 'Date'.

Vista Visual Master lets you do loads of changes to Microsoft's new operating system, mainly referring to its visual appearance and graphic design. Tweaks are organized in different categories to make them easier to find and apply. You'll find tools to customize desktop and system icons, change logon screen and boot picture and personalize the OEM information (that is, the PC owner's name) among others.

TotalIdeas TweakVI (free basic edition) makes up for the lack of a TweakUI for Vista.
TweakUI is a Microsoft PowerToy for Windows XP (not Vista). It allows you to change all kinds of settings for how the operating system works. See the Hit Parade below, to get an idea of the kinds of settings Im talking about. (Note: Microsoft makes this tool available without any warranty or support. Use it at your own risk.)
