Generate A System Health Report in Windows Vista

Windows Vista offers a way to quickly perform a system check which results in a so called System Health Report. It takes about 60 seconds to gather the information and display them in a list. You find the option to generate a system health report in your control panel. Click on System and Maintenance, then Performance Information and Tools. Select advanced tools from the menu and click on generate a system health report to start the program.

It will automatically perform various checks on key components such as operating system, hard drives and other devices. It will issue out warnings if it finds something that is not in order offering solutions to the warnings as well.

    as a fellow Vista user do you know how to set certain programs like winrar to automatically run as admin rather than getting a UAC prompt everytime?
