So I was looking through the Services and noticed a couple of interesting items.

Vista Tweaks
I was looking around for something else, but came across this and thought it was useful: http://vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic562-12-1.aspx There are some interesting tweaks there.
DHCP Console doesn’t open?
If you have a number of DHCP reservations or scopes, 87 specifically, you might have a problem opening the MMC snap-in. It is ok if you have 86 or 88.
