<h1>Speed Up Vista 8 - 4 Steps to Turn Windows Vista Into Xp !</h1>Author: <a title="Kok Choon Kow" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/kok-choon-kow/37505.htm">Kok Choon Kow</a> Everyone is talking about: XP is faster than Vista, removing Vista from new PC or getting XP for your new PC, and that goes on...The fact is: You can turn your Vista into XP and still enjoy some new features introduced in Vista! Sounds great? Let's find out HOW !

Here are the four steps to turn your Vista into XP:

Step #1 - Strip unused features with vLite.

vLite is a Vista installer stripper and generator, you can use it to create much smaller installer with only core functions. Use it to remove any unwanted features and drivers, you can also preset the product keys and some tweaks. After generated the installer, it will then be transferred into CDs or DVDs, you can install Vista faster with this new installer.

Step #2 - Disable Aero Theme.

You can easily disable Aero Theme and use classic interface like XP, you will decide on what level of similarity you want your Vista towards XP. For me, I would just keep the Aero theme without transparency support, then may be changing the Windows menu to classic start menu.

Step #3 - Remove or Disable Advanced Features.

By removing advanced services like:

a) Superfetch

b) ReadbyBoost

c) Search Index

d) Theme

You can free more resources for your Windows. You may remove the services during installer creation, or retain them for future hardware upgrades. If you include them in the installer, you can still disable them later.

Step #4 - Optimize your Windows

There are many optimization tips around, if you want to save yourself some time, you should get the step by step "Unleash Vista Power Advance Guide". You can also use some FREE tweaking tools for Vista, such as Thoosje Vista Tweaker, should help you tweak Windows registry easier.

That concluded all steps. However, step #4 is a huge topic, you need some studies before performing any tuning, or you may need to re-install your Windows again! Just backup your Vista hard disk image before trying any tricks!
