While I tried to reduce the amount of tinkering on the OS to bare minimum possible, there is a steady stream of daft things happening that I have to deal with. Especially in the beginning when I have to remove the crapwares Lenovo has dumped into the default install.

Just last month, I got annoyed by the persistent “ding” sound whenever I clicked on a listbox, which required delving into the registry to fix (surprisingly, I have not clicked any listbox until recently, for some reasons, so I didn’t notice this earlier).

And then, there is the adventure of resizing the Vista partition this month, which I might write about in a future blog post.
