Want to know what was happening in the depths of your computer with Windows Vista and make it work as productive? During the colourful facade Aero interface is based on a number of new tools to help you monitor your system and make it as effective as possible.

We have studied some of these instruments, than at the recent conference on the development of Windows hardware, we helped Mark Russinovich. If you are serious in their intention to examine processes occurring within Windows, then you have a good chance to take advantage of a tool created by Russinovich. He founded Sysinternals, which developed Process Explorer, a more powerful version of Windows Task Manager (task manager), as well as some other utilities. Last year Sysinternals acquired by Microsoft.

Here you will find some favourites Russinovich 'em tools Vista:

Performance Monitoring
Russinovich uses Vista Resource Overview (review resources), an updated utility that provides optimal schemes for the CPU, disk, network and memory. Clicking on any of these schemes, you get detailed information about how actively used a resource in the ongoing tasks. Preston Gralla reported the site to PC World. He also povedal of the instrument Reliability monitor (security controller), which can quickly view all problems in the programs, hardware and operating systems, along with installation and uninstallation programs. Reliability Monitor can show, for example, how many times the emergency work was completed under a program. You can find both in the recruitment tool controller security and productivity by clicking on Start and vpechatav perfmon in on the launch of a search.

Application cycle CPU
The only thing you will not see in these embedded controllers is a new opportunity Vista to evaluate and give a report on the use of software processor based on CPU cycles throughout the life of the program. Russinovich said that such a report would give a clearer idea of resource depletion CPU than you could do this in XP, whose Task Manager (task manager), only shows how much CPU resources used at present.
To view the new data, download and unpack utility Process Explorer. Right-click on the column headings (eg 'Process'), and click Select Columns (select columns). Select label Process Performance, and then CPU Cycles (CPU cycles). You can sort the display of the columns to see which of the programs "eat" more CPU resources.

Using SuperFetch RAM
If you really want to monitor the state of the system in Vista, then do not be surprised when you will see that in the record number of free RAM has fallen significantly over time, even if you have opened a number of files or programs. This trend shows that there is sometimes podedayuschego memory software bug, but Russinovich said that it is also a result of the work function SuperFetch, which tries to find out what to what time you are going to use, and pre-load data on these challenges in the available physical memory for higher productivity.

Priority Multimedia
If you use the Vista Windows Media Player, you no longer need to worry about the music and passes video recordings if you otyagotite your computer other, more resursopotreblyayuschimi programs. Vista gives preference Media Player 'in front of the other tasks in a way audio and video files will play smoothly, even if your computer is busy. Other applications will also be able to get preference for its functionality, but I have not heard from Apple, iTunes does the same or not.

Cancel launch network
In XP, if you try to gain access to files or servers within their home or workplace network, which has been temporarily access, your system would hang, and you would have had to beat Keyboard, a Windows is not yet decided that it is not going to return to the "fallen" server. Vista lets you attempt to suspend such network access, which would need to click Cancel (cancellation) in the dialog box to open files, or click + C, if you are serious specials and can run with a command line.

Re your taskbar
This final Board is unusual for Vista, but I saw it on Vist 'Ethernet laptop Russinovich's. You already know that can right click on the taskbar in XP or Vista, lift Lock the Taskbar (lock control panel), and to increase their contributions to two lines. What I did not know is that they can deploy in a way that icons Quick Launch (Quick Launch) will own an entire line of the control panel. To do this, place the mouse over the border spot Quick Launch (arrow cursor change to resizing). Press and hold down the left mouse button, then drag the Quick Launch area below the list of tasks. Her movement in the right situation may seem somewhat inconvenient, and will require several attempts, but I prefer to work with it when it is in the lower right corner.

If you really want to further explore Vista, then you have consisting of three parts article Russinovich's placed on the Microsoft TechNet Web site, and it is called "Inside the Windows Vista Kernel" (inside the nucleus Windows Vista)
