Thanks. I will try it. I'm on the old XP right now. So an alt plus D. And from there one can drill down?

Bowen, Jr. Subject: Re: Learning Windows 7 with Window eyes 7.2 Hi, Windows 7 does require a learning curve if you are coming from XP. Now I came from XP to Vista and now 7. So the learning curve wasn't that steep with me. Anyway, in Windows 7 alt+d takes you to the address bar. This is the way you can tell where the file is going to be saved to or where the file is. This replaces the look in box in XP. I hope this helps. Signed by Chris Hallsworth On 27/07/2010 23:08, donald E.
