Abstract
Many of the facilities available to you in Vista for system administration have been improved. Access to these facilities, however, is still in keeping with the Windows legacy style, so this chapter teaches you how to do things the Vista way, covering how to get at the tools hidden in the Control Panel, how to use the new Backup and Restore Center (including system restore points), how to control system services, how to change User Account Control (UAC) settings, and how to use Network Access Protection (NAP).
