Vista is a great OS

The easiest way is to set prefetch to delay auto-start in the services
applet

Then once you login, start task manager and then Click processes, then click
Resource monitor, then click disk and sort off most reads. You should see
what it's reading\loading. It's there that I can see the game I last played
or in my case, last ran some benchmarks on start loading, if you watch
cached memory in taskman, it starts going up, as it reads the game files.

Turn Superfetch to disabled and I never see those game files read and my
cache memory never goes up.

Richard you said you don't expect to upgrade your computers to windows vista
could you tell me why.
Thanks

In my case, 2 main reasons.
#1 I just plain don't like the interface.
#2 hardware, even my machines that would run Vista are doing fine with what
they have installed.
Why would I spend any $ to do an 'upgrade' that gives me no real new
usability?
 
I use Vista Home Basic because I got it with a laptop. But, if anyone wants
to know what heavily Vista compliant software will mean during install in a
Vista stable machine, install Adobe Reader 8.0 Vista version and watch what
it does. I think it says it all.
 
Every computer in my family, and extended family, is either using Vista or
dual booting between Vista and Windows XP.
