Hi Doug.
I'm trying to follow your philosophy. I have this new Vista machine up and running and I'm really trying to resist any urges to turn things off or do things the old way. I'm trying to force myself to learn Vista. I will admit that I changed the Control Panel to show it to me the "Classic View". Using the Vista view means I have to drill 2 or 3 levels deep to do what I can do with one click on the classic view. But other than that .. I'm giving Vista an honest try.
One thing that is really annoying though .. and I don't know if it's Vista or my new laptop .. I have the laptop on the right and an external monitor on the left so the external monitor is at a negative x,y point. Everytime I log in or switch users or return from hibernation it resorts back to thinking the laptop is on the left and the external is on the right so I keep having to change it several times a day. What a PITA!!
