Windows Vista: Mobility Center

If you use a Windows Vista based laptop computer, you might want to check out the Mobility Center. This control panel gives you easy access to information and configuration options about your laptop. For example, you can quickly enable or disable an external monitor, wireless adapter, check your battery level, and much more.

To access the Mobility Center open the control panels folder under the Start menu, then look for 'Windows Mobility Center', or my favorite trick is just to press the Windows key+X.
