A personal preference and not so much a windows tweak but I’m having good results using OpenDNS as my DNS servers rather than the ones my ISP provides. If you are behind a corporate firewall the depends on domain authentication, proceed with caution because if you replace your DNS servers you might not be able to log into the domain.

Springer | Jan-Peter Homann | Nov2008 | 1st Edn | ISBN:3540671196 |PDF | 213 pages | 31.2MB
Digital Color Management:Principles and Strategies for the Standardized Print Production/by Jan-Peter Homann (Author), Andrew Jack Newman (Translator). The book describes color management for the print production with a focus on implementing standards for separation, soft proof, contract proof, data delivery and printing.
The basics and strategies are targeted at setting up vendor-independent color management workflows which can easily be realized with leading applications from e.g. Adobe, AGFA, GMG, Heidelberg, Kodak and X-Rite.
The author explains with a unique graphical concept how different standards such as ISO 12647, SWOP, GRACoL, G7, ICC profile format and PDF/X fit together.
He describes the main points for setting up color management and quality control from the print buyer over photography, agency and pre-press to the printer. The book has a strong focus on communication between print buyer, photographer, agency, pre-press and printers. Based on the best practice in communication it explains the important steps for quality control for digital data, contract proofs and prints.
