Hi, I'm using the Swedish MSDN release of Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit but the Ultimate Extras are not showing up. It is fully activated and I get access to other "ultimate extras" such as all the language packs. How come the "true" Ultimate Extras are not showing up?

In my Windows Vista 64 there is a huge file in the folder co:\windows\winzes, named Backup. The file is about 500Mb. What is the function of this file? Can I delete it?? Gert

I'm really disappointed MS. To Turn a great tool into a mere appliance. The loss of tools, features, stability, customization, SPEED, user friendliness, logical design, compatibility and the lack support for CURRENT DAY hardware makes Windows Vista a very poor choice for the MS Windows literate power users. I've been using MS since DOS 3.11 and have used every flavor of Windows. Until Vista, I...

When I press the standyby button on my computer, it switches off great. When I turn it back on it comes back where I left it. I guess this is good because this is how it is meant to work. I was wondering if, when it came back on, I could make it default to the logon screen, as I have 3 profiles and I don't want the kids having access to my profile. I have Home premium.
