Oh, right, sure. Vista still has bugs because any large new product will
have bugs, and M$, the richest software company on Earth, has done
everything they could have to ease the situation. It's not like they
could have designed the OS properly, with a simpler internal structure
and 50x less bloat and thus fixed all the problems before the thing even
left the drawing board. No, Sir...

Of course you may and I know I should but I just want my fingers to do
the thinking. I should configure the quick access Toolbar and I am
sure I will if I keep it.

Does the other standard actually lay out all the calculations used to do
word breaks? That would seem to be a rather limiting standard, actually.

> Oh! Ctrl Alt Del doesn't bring up the taskmanager.
It doesn't on my XP machine either, it brings up the "Windows Security"
window, where Task Manager is an option.
To get task manager I usually right click on the task bar at the bottom and
choose it.

Hmm I think it has something to do with the user account settings and how
you log on, on my gf's laptop she has that list of users with the little
pictures to log on, but I have the normal logon box. ANd of course on hers
pressing C-A-D brings up the task manager instantly, but mine doesn't.
BTW I always put my laptop into stand-by mode, never actually shut it down.
Otherwise I need to put in some pesky USB security key and password to get
past the bios everytime I switch it on.

Oh! I only have one user account on that machine and I don't have to
logon. I do have a power on password. ;)

I usually hibernate mine but every now and again it needs a good
reboot.

Yeah worked well with XP; people are people. If you told someone they
should run as a LUser, but some of their programmes might not work/install
and anytime they wanted to change some stuff they'd have to retype their
admin password OR you could just run as an administrator (which appears to
be the default option again) everything runs/installs fine and you just
need to click on a button to confirm you want to run somthing; then what
will people do?
The latest wonder is that Media Player won't start unless "run as"
Administrator, doing a search reveals others with this problem and the
curernt solution is to unistall any 'suspect' media players. So bye-bye to
the only programme that'll play transport stream files and/or 4-on-demand.
