The name of this program says it all --- it lets you tweak Vista in
countless ways and look at system performance. It's certainly not
alone in that, but it has a particularly simple and well-designed
interface that makes tweaking especially easy. You'll be able to
see what programs run on startup, see how much RAM each of your
currently running programs use, and change Vista security. One
particularly useful feature is the Services module, which will turn
on or off various Vista services, depending on how you want to use
your PC.
There's plenty more here as well, including letting you customize
how User Account Control works. Considering that this program is
free, it's hard to beat. Note that this is the free trial version.
A full version, with a fee of $19.95, offers additional features,
such as benchmarking, analyzing system startup and shutdown, and
similar features.
