Yeah. When I'm not using it.  I'm rather annoyed at how flakey the 
suspend code is on my Media Center.  Never another HP, I'll tell you.

Huh. What are you running?  Not XP, I assume?

Yep. It takes forever to find all that stuff on each big upgrade.

XP by default has the Control panel in its stupid "Category mode".

What Nicolas said. XP Pro, unmodified install, SP2. You either changes 
it, or you bought the machine with it installed, and that had it set up 
the other way. But what you get to start with is a list of "related" 
features, instead of the "everything as an icon in the control panel", 
that existed in 98.

Oh! Right! I turned that off in about the first 10 seconds, along with 
"hide known extensions." It never occurred to me...
