10. Changing the Desktop Appearance in Microsoft Vista
The easiest way to change the look of the Windows Vista desktop is through personalization. Here’s how:
1. Right-click the desktop.
2. Click Personalize, and then begin customizing to fit your style.

11. Add Folder to Quick Launch
When you find that you are repeatedly returning to and opening the same folder, you can add it to the Quick Launch bar. A handy one to add is the Saved Searches folder.
1. Click Start.
2. Click your user name.
3. Drag the Saved Searches folder to the Quick Launch bar.

12. Building on Existing Searches
The more you search, the more searches you save, and the more likely you have saved most of the search you want, but you may want to narrow the criteria. To build from an existing search:
1. Browse to your Searches folder.
2. Double-click the existing search.
3. Click Search Tools, and then click Search Pane.
4. Click the Advanced Search expansion arrow.
5. Modify the criteria (use wildcard characters).
6. Click Search. You can even save this new search for reuse.
