Welcome
Here is a tutorial from the Seven Forums, most areas apply to Vista. If you have any questions just ask
Optimize Windows 7 - Windows 7 Forums

Although a lot of duplication, this is all that you should need. Any questions or problems just post.

Programs that are loaded at startup are listed in msconfig, others are waiting for a manual load and do not slow up your boot.

yes winpatrol is a nice tool to have, thanks for tutorials, also i was wondering.... i think i may need to update my device drivers, there is a download from paretologic drivercure, should i install that?

Get the most up to date drivers from the Manufactueres website. Dont use driver search engines or the Windows update if possible.
