customize VISTA interface

This is another article in my vista series.Here i 'll talk about few extremely cool vista customizations.

• windows dreamscene:

This coolest feature of vista lets you set a video clip or full size movie as your desktop background.
How to use(for default scene):

1. right click on desktop
   
2. select personalize
   
3. desktop background
4. from location drop-down menu choose "windows dreamscene content". You are done.
   

Any other file (.mpg or wmv) can be used just by right clicking on it and then selecting "set as desktop background".

• windows photo gallery:

Gone are the days of passive "picture and fax viewer" of XP. Coz vista's photo gallery not only lets you view the photo but also provides options for adding tags and controlling colors.
Just click on "fix" and you will be able to adjust color,exposure or even fix the red eye effect.

• Navigation pane:

Vista doesnt show familiar "my documents" folder if you open "computer"
Instead at the left hand side of explorer window you will see list of commonly visited locations like documents, picures etc. It also shows a location called "recently changed" which lists the documents that recently edited.
At the bottom of this pane is a option called "Folders". If you click on this it will expand into good old explorer of XP.
In the same navigation pane there is a location named "Searches". Many times you search for something ,find it,use it and again forget its location so that you have to search again next time.No more. In vista it provides an option of saving your search results so that they can be accessed any time and much more easily. Whenever you perform any search just click "file(or ALT+ F) and choose "save search" you are done.
