To optimize the boot/shutdown of Windows, it is necessary to know precisely the reboot time of the computer to be able to refine its adjustments. But rather than having the hand on a stop watch at the time of the reboot, better use this easy way, You will appreciate how simple it is to use and the precision of the result.
The relative time value will then give you a point of comparison to optimize the boot/shutdown of your computer.]]>How to Fix the Error "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."http://www.vistameetsnick.com/windows-vista-tutorials/2009/11/23/how-to-fix-the-error-the-user-profile-service-failed-the-log.htmlVistaMeetsNick2009-11-23T22:58:50Z2009-11-23T22:58:50Z
When you log on to Vista using a temporary profile (user account), you receive this error message:
For more information, see: Microsoft Help and Support: KB947215
The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
This issue may occur if the user profile was manually deleted by using the command prompt or Windows Explorer by a user or by some program. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) from the user profile list in the registry. Since the SID is still present, Vista will still try to load the profile by using the ProfileImagePath that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.]]>How to Reset and Clean the Notification Icons List in Vistahttp://www.vistameetsnick.com/windows-vista-tutorials/2009/11/20/how-to-reset-and-clean-the-notification-icons-list-in-vista.htmlVistaMeetsNick2009-11-20T23:16:27Z2009-11-20T23:16:27Z
These are the system tray icons in the Notifcation Area. Over time, theCustomize Notification Icons list can become bloated with every icon that was ever displayed in the Notification Area. Some of these may have been uninstalled by now, but are still listed under the Past Items. This will show you how to reset this list to keep it clean and current.]]>How Turn DEP On or Off for a Program in Vistahttp://www.vistameetsnick.com/windows-vista-tutorials/2009/11/18/how-turn-dep-on-or-off-for-a-program-in-vista.htmlVistaMeetsNick2009-11-18T23:04:48Z2009-11-18T23:04:48Z
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory (RAM) locations reserved only for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you with the DEP stop error. DEP is ran in a software mode and in a hardware mode. If your processor supports DEP (NX for AMD, and XD for Intel), then you will have hardware and software DEP. If it doesn't, then Vista will just use software DEP. 64 bit applications will have DEP enabled all the time by default, but 32 bit applications do not and must have DEP manually enabled for them.]]>Creating Windows and Buttons in Javahttp://www.vistameetsnick.com/windows-vista-tutorials/2009/11/17/creating-windows-and-buttons-in-java.htmlVistaMeetsNick2009-11-18T04:48:00Z2009-11-18T04:48:00Z

If you have a multiple core CPU (Ex: Intel Core Duo or Quad CPU) or multiple CPUs, then this will show you how to change the Number of Processors that will be used during boot up for troubleshooting and debugging purposes to be able to determine if there is a problem with a single processor/core, or for a programmer to test their code against a single core while running on their multi-core system.]]>How To Change the Vista Startup Orbhttp://www.vistameetsnick.com/windows-vista-tutorials/2009/11/15/how-to-change-the-vista-startup-orb.htmlVistaMeetsNick2009-11-16T01:01:26Z2009-11-16T01:01:26Z
This tutorial shows you how to change the Windows orb seen at the conclusion of the Vista boot sequence. The method for doing so is quite straightforward. The orb is composed of four images in a DLL within System32. By altering these images it can be replaced with Tux for example.]]>
