Navigating can be such a pain when going from xp to vista. Both worlds have there plus and minus properties and I am not advocating or bashing either. Just happen to use em and other operating systems, and I am glad to share that experience. In Vista and using the default Vista Control Panel:

Bill, Thanks for that information. I am floundering a bit with Vista on my laptop so any help is beneficial. As a developer I usually can twist my head around the other developers way of thinking - eventually. I will admit that Linux and Vista are challenging me in this regard. I hate to think I

I am a bit surprised at the comments about Vista vs. XP. I have two computers in my shack that are side by side with a KVM switch so I can access either of them from my main control point. I mostly use XP for backward compatibility since all amateur radio programs that I use will run on XP

As a software developer I push into nooks and crannies of an operating system. Microsoft tightened access to some of those places making it more difficult for me. Sometimes I am challenged to even find where to change the settings. I certainly do not mean to say Vista is bad. Right now I have
