Vispa0.6.4

Vispa is an application aimed especially at Windows Vista users who wish to tweak their operating system in order to further increase security, privacy and the overall performance of the computer.Although it’s developed as a wizard, Vispa is not at all aimed at beginners, as many of the available Windows Vista customization options require advanced computer knowledge.There are multiple predefined profiles to help users configure the operating system faster, namely “all settings”, “3rd party settings”, “All settings (no 3rd party settings)”, “Windows Classic Settings” and “Windows Server to Workstation”.Although this is indeed a very good feature, you’re strongly recommended to go for the “custom” mode and manually pick the modifications you wish to apply. This way, you can avoid changes that you don’t need or that could affect system performance.Modifications are grouped into multiple categories, such as services, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Desktop Search, usability and delete files.For example, you can delete Internet Explorer, Windows Mail or Recycle Bin shortcuts, disable automatic codec downloads in Media Player, disable error reporting in Internet Explorer, disable iPod and Google Updater services.The good thing is that Vispa can also create a restore point before applying changes, which can only be good news in case something goes wrong. On the other hand, it provides absolutely no help section, so only experienced users can benefit from all the goodies available in the app.Overall, Vispa is a great Windows Vista enhancement tool, but it’s pretty clear that beginners should stay away from this app. It provides plenty of options and can also create a restore point to make sure you’re on the safe side all the time.
