Another 3rd party utility I'd say to avoid (regarless of what the "digital
goddess" says) is PC Tools. Although the "experts" say not to create an
Administrator account, it makes it easy so you don't need a restart by
having
that account available with UAC turned off. Use your usual account(s) with
UAC on for day to day operation.

Hi Joannie,
Vista Home Edition is my PC version. You are also right. See my reply
to
Mike on the UAC.

Hi Ed, I don't think I'd want to turn of UAC you'll find it's not that
irritating it does provide that extra level of security and in these
days
having good security is not a bad thing.
What version do you have ?

Hi good ole Heirloom,
I was aware that your wife was running Vista on her laptop. I agree
with
you, it's too much eye candy at the beginning, but you can customize
it as
you please. There are a couple of obnoxious things, like little
windows
that
come up to ask you to continue, yet with practice I'll get rid of
that
feature. I just visited the Vista NG once and found an answer right
away --
maybe I just got lucky.

Yeah, this NG is much friendlier and one is never left out in left
field.
Write to Mart about the chili recipe, he also has an original.
As far as Ike, I would not bother looking out for him -- unless
*Tina*
shows
up!

Thanks for the kind words and cheers from Seattle!

Congrats Ed! I haven't had the cojones to go with Vista, I'm
sticking
with
XP SP3 for as long as possible. SWMBO is running Vista Home Premie
on
her
laptop.....I don't like it......too much eye candy for me. I'm sure
it
will
be fine once you get used to it doing everything for you, lol. Oh,
and
on
the NG's....good luck. My experience with the XP NG's was less than
pleasant, so, I came back here with my old friends (heavy on the
'old',
g). Besides, with the advent of Google and other things, it is
simply
too
easy to find answers on one's own. But, if one gets in a real bind,
one
can
always call on the world's best gurus in this NG.
Mike comes immediately to mind, but, certainly not the only one.

The real appeal to this NG is the way everyones gets along with one
another,
and not.....just like a real family. I saw the post on the 'chili
recipe'
and thought that I might be able to answer a question, but, nay, it
was
just
a joke. However, if anyone would like a good recipe for some
newkyoolar
chile, I could fix them up. With properly secured bedding of
sufficient
strength, it can help keep you warm in the winter.

You had better stop in frequently, Ed! You are one of the
originals, a
charter member, you carry battle scars and secrets.

Heirloom, old and looking out for Ike

Thank you Joanie. True words about getting to know people while
exchanging
problem situations, yet maintaining a good sense of humor. Best
of
luck
to
you in all your endeavors.

I didn't mention all the names of good people who helped me
through the
years, but special thanks also to good old Noel (Mike, if you read
this,
please pass this on to him); to George Gee and so many others.

'Til I visit again, bye for now.

Hi Mart,

I agree that it was a bit extreme, but the good old box had too
many
'limitations.'
Any updates/upgrades required either 2000, XP or Vista. I too
think
that
it
will be
worth it in the long run.

Thank you so much for your response & nice message. -- Now, I'm
very
curious
about that secret recipe of extra hot chillies. I bet is a
good
one!

Like I said in my prior posts, I'll be visiting you guys on
ocassion.
Answers are more
straight forward in this NG.

Cheers!

Wow! - One heck of a way to fix your WinMe registry problem

bit
extreme, but probably best in the long run!

Good to know that you intend to stick around - we tackle

from

issue
thrown
in.
Not to mention one resident expert on extra hot chillies. (Who
has

I truly appreciate your help.

I'm sure that on behalf of us all, you're most welcome.

Mike,
Loom,
Heather, Alan and several other people who through the years

I finally decided to upgrade my system to Windows Vista Home

have tucked away the old box.

I truly appreciate your help.
