You start a Windows Vista session by logging on, and end it by logging off. You can log off and leave the computer running, or you can log off as part of the process of shutting down.
Each person who uses the computer logs on with his or her own user account. Your Windows Vista environment preferences are stored with your user account so that when you log on to Windows Vista, it looks and works the way you want.
You must activate your copy of Windows Vista within 30 days of first use. After that period, you won't be able to create or save files until you activate Windows Vista.
Windows Vista includes many alternative input and output options designed to make your computer more accessible.
You can change the look of Windows Vista and the way your computer functions to make it easier for you to see or use the computer. You make these changes from the Ease Of Access Center as well as from the Welcome screen.
It is important to keep your computer up to date with the most current upgrades and security updates. Windows Update makes it easy to do this automatically or manually.
You can save power without closing files and quitting programs by putting your computer to sleep. This conserves more energy than shutting down the computer.
