Extend Vista
1) Extend Vista using "slmgr -rearm" method. When you have 1 day remaining to activiate, Go to CommandPrompt & Make sure to press Ctrl + Alt + Enter to access it in Administratve mode.
2) Then type slmgr -rearm and press Enter. In about 45 seconds, you will be prompted to restart your computer. After that, you have succesfully resetted the activation timer to 30 days. This will only work 3 times, giving you 120 days, but… we’re about to change that.
3) Open the registry editor by clicking the Start Pearl and typing regedit in the Search bar.
4) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Currentversion \ SL
5) Right click SkipRearm and modify the value to 1.
6) Click on the Start Pearl and type cmd in the Search bar to access the command Prompt. Make sure you press Ctrl+Alt+Enter to run it in Administrative Mode.
7) Once in Command Prompt, type slmgr -rearm like you would when extending Vista by 30 days. Now you can use Rearm 8 more times, giving you a total of 360 days.

Enable Administrator Account
In Windows Vista there is a Built-in Administrator Account in addition to your normal Administrator account that was created. The Built-in Administrator Account is disabled by default.
Certain Programs/Softwares give us trouble in proper installation due to this disable. Even though we run the .exe file of the programs that is to be installed as "Run As Administrator". For proper installation of the programs it is to be enabled.
• Click Start, and type “secpol.msc” in the search area and click Enter.
• You may receive a prompt from UAC, approve/login and proceed.
• In the left list, choose “Local Policies”, then “Security Options”
• Set “Accounts: Administrator account status” to Enabled.
• Set “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account” to Disabled.
• Now log-off, and you’ll see a new account named “Administrator” will be available, click on it to login.
Log on to this administrator account. You may delete other user accounts.
