Any ideas on how to make Vista shutdown, startup, and run faster?

[Mitz]

Many people have had big problems with Windows Vista being too slow. But I remember when this was also true for Windows XP when it first came out... The problem was that people's computers were not fast enough to handle such a resource hog operating system, and now the same thing has happened to VISTA...

In the meantime we have to make do with what we have....Unfortunately a few of my friends have bought laptops with Windows Vista installed, where the computer is really only suitable for Windows XP..

So now we need to try and tweak the computers and laptops to try and get them to run faster...Besides all the usual cleaning methods, does anyone know of some secret little tricks to get vista to run faster...
