Don't think so, but there are a number of tools already included in Vista
that may help.
Reliability and Performance Monitor [ Start > perfmon ]
Event Viewer [Start > eventvwr.msc ]
Task Manager [ctrl-shift-esc]
These require a certain amount of knowledge so I would recommend gettting a
good book on Vista from your local shop (eg Ed Bott's 'Windows Vista Inside
Out'), which would guide you through using them.
There is alot going on in the background with Vista, and not all of it is
absolutely essential.
Main areas to look at would be would be similar to previous versions of
Windows such as
--Services
--Startup programs
--Performance Options
In addition Vista has a whole load of regular tasks, such as setting Restore
points, spyware scans, mobilepc tasks, phone homes to Microsoft, Media
Center updates etc, which again aren't all absolutely necessary, and many of
which can be disabled.
