More Vista tweaks

Make the text on Vista easier to read

Start in Control Panel and type Adjust font size in the Search box at the top right, which will take you directly to the link for the DPI Scaling utility shown here. The preset value of 120 DPI.
I set mine at 110 DPI like Ed Bott. Just use the slider control to bump the size up to a more restrained 110 DPI.
Click ok and your done.
Of course you have to reboot.

Speaker Enhancements

If your PC is built using an Intel motherboard with High Definition Audio support, you can take advantage of some cool enhancements. Open the Sound option in Control Panel, select the Speakers icon on the Playback tab, and click the Properties button. The Enhancements tab includes a set of options you can use to control bass levels, create virtual surround sound on a two-speaker system, correct for crummy room acoustics, and change loudness settings.

Make the blinking cursor easier to see

Open Control Panel, type optimize visual display in the Search box, and click the shortcut to see the dialog box shown here. Bumping the size of the cursor from 1 to 2 makes a noticeable difference
