I apologize for the length of this diatribe. Here we go. I bought a new computer two years ago. It. came with Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I upgraded to Vista Ultimate 32 bit. No problem.

I decided to remove the Win 7 Beta and go back to Vista Ultimate using the Acronis...

At some point, Vista put that "Evaluation copy" at the...

Before I had to re-install Windows Vista, I had a function that grouped desktop icons into a vertical 'column' on the left of the screen, with sections headed 'Communicate', 'Office', 'Connect' etc.; by clicking on these top headings, I could access the set of 2 or 3 shortcuts falling under each heading, which was a very handy way of grouping shortcut icons and looked neat. With my newly...
