Vista RATING hack

I found this from someone. Very cool Vista RATING hack.

TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK

Navigate to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore\xxxx-xx-xx xx.xx.xx.xxx Assessment.WinSAT.xml.

Open it with notepad. Approximately one 'paragraph' down, you will see listings between the 'winspr' tags.

These listings include 'system score', 'memoryscore', 'cpuscore', 'cpusubaggscore', 'videoencodescore', 'graphicsscore', 'gamingscore', and 'diskscore'.

Simply change the value that appears between the opening and closing tags.

Changing your graphics score to be over 3.0 allows you to have themes for the photo screensaver.

Other effects are still unknown.

You won't be able to "Save As" with notepad so create the file in another directory then overight the original.

REMEMBER: Make a BACKUP copy of the original "Assessment.WinSAT.xml" before you overwright it.

Cheers guys!
