A fellow kept complaining that his Remote Desktop (mstsc) connection to the office is super slow. I told him that I had the same problem since I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 & he found the following solution:
Run the following command line:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
to undo it:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
For full details check this post. It's not optimal, but it works & I didn't notice any problem since.

Error 2869 during installation
The problem:
Error message during installation on Windows Vista / 7:
The installer encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2869.
Reason:
The MSI contains a custom action that require more privileges than the current user have.
Due to UAC (user access control) even if you're administrator, you're not REALLY administrator unless specifically run as such.
Resolution:
- Simple option - Install as administrator.
- If you wrote the package in Visual Studio 2005/2008 add the following to require administrator privileges to begin installation:
1. Right click on the setup project -> View -> Launch Conditions
2. In the Launch conditions window, right-click the node "Launch Conditions" and select "Add launch condition".
3. Rename the new launch condition to something like "Require Administrator".
4. In the new launch condition property window set "Condition" to "AdminUser"
5. Set the error message to something meaningful ("Only administrator can install this software").
6. Check the following post & add "NoImpersonate.js"
7. Rebuild the package.

How to enable Directory Browsing in IIS on Windows Vista
For some reason Microsoft moved the "Directory Browsing" feature in Windows Vista's IIS to the following location:
Control Panel ->
Programs and Features ->
Turn windows features on and off ->
Internet Information Services ->
World Wide Web Services ->
Common Http Features ->
Directory Browsing
In windows Vista you can also replace the default directory browsing with other ways to browse directories very easily (see here for example).
