Connected to Vista Bookmark Updates

Following is a consolidation of the bookmark updates made over the past several days.

It seems that every time I refresh a page or take "one last look at the feed list", I find something new to bookmark or a page that needs a bit of sprucing. This time it was a find at Michael Howard's Web Log -- A Real-world Windows Vista BitLocker Tip.

The Unofficial Windows Vista Weblog is a good source of information. The site is recognized by Microsoft as a Windows Vista Community Blog and has been included in my feed list for a while.

I found a great tutorial via Milo at Windows Vista Weblog from VistaRewired for speeding up the Windows Vista Defrag tool and added it to the growing list of Vista Features and Tutorials.

Note: Many people are of the opinion that it is unnecessary to defrag NTFS systems. Granted, unlike the earlier Windows operating systems, NTFS systems do not require frequent defraging. However, if you notice the system getting a bit "sluggish", particularly after heavy add/remove activities, running the defrag tool or the tools in the VistaRewired tutorial may help return the computer to its earlier zippy state.

While at WindowsNow, I located a working link to HOW-TO: Switch to Windows Vista 64-bit painlessly by Kristan Kenney. I had read a leader to his tutorial at another site, but the link didn't work. I was so happy to finally have Kristan's tutorial that I (finally) completed the revision of the Features and Tutorials bookmark page. I hadn't been happy with the presentation. It seems much easier to locate bookmarks on that page now.

Internet Explorer 7

After congratulating Robert McLaws on his site, Windows-Now, being added as a Vista Featured Community, I moved on to reading his post, Can't Save Favorites in Vista's IE7? I added a bookmark to the solution.
