Turn Vista Home Premium into Ultimate with Free Software [How To]

The Mysticgeek blog at the How-To Geek's site has a clever series of
posts up that use free software tools to give Windows Vista Home
Premium—the version that most often ships with standard
laptops—the same kind of super-user powers you get with a copy of
Ultimate. Mysticgeek uses FileHamster
to replicate Ultimate's "Shadow Copy" function, installing a DreamScene
power toy to get moving backgrounds, and DriveIMage XML to create
sturdy backups (as Gina once detailed). Hit the link below for the FileHamster tutelage; and check out part 1 and part 2
for the other tweaks. What other tweaks do you use to add Ultimate-like
features to your copy of Vista? Share them in the comments.
