Here's why -Everytime I download something to my user, it would create icons to all the other users created on my computer also...windows 98 never did this! And, when I tried to delete the icons from the other...

Hello, While I was experimenting and exploring Vista, I was trying to enable the Administrator account. I was in the System Management tool, and I disabled my current account with Administrator priveleges, and then enabled the real Administrator account. Following that, I tried to log in to the enabled Administrator account. I didn't set any password for it when installing Vista, but it...

Hi - I've been trying to add a new computer to my secure wireless network at home, but I can't for the life of me remember what the network key is, so haven't been able to enter it on the new computer. What can I do to find my network key?? I've tried to get around this by creating a "new network" using my existing connection, and entering a new network key for this connection, but this...

I suugest that activation should be automatically unnecessary for programs more than 3 years old. My MS Office was bought about 5 years ago. I must have re-activated it 100 times by now.

The MS phone system says "Press 1 to activate" but when I...

When Vista started for the first time I was prompted to logon as the original admin user I had created when I first installed XP. This user had no password.
