I share John's frustration with the interface changes. /ranton
In general, I'm underwhelmed by Windows 7. It's supposed to be so much more robust from a security standpoint and yet the patches keep coming in. After working with 7 for about a year now, I still can't see what's significantly better and makes me think the pain is worth it. So many of the changes strike me as cosmetic and don't really add to functionality or ease of use. /rantoff Anyway, Glen J. suggested tinkering around with the desktop.ini file that is created in the "Documents" folder. I have been renaming them and that has allowed me to rename the folder back to it's original name through the Windows 2003 server's explorer. The only impact that seems to have at the Windows 7 end is that in Explorer, instead of seeing the "Documents" name, you see the name you renamed the folder to. So far, I haven't seen any evidence that it changes how programs interacts with explorer. ---------------------- Bob Hartung Wisco Industries, Inc. 736 Janesville St. Oregon, WI 53575 Tel: (608) 835-3106 x215 Fax: (608) 835-7399 e-mail: bhartung(at)wiscoind.com _____ From: Michael B.

Just like the Office "ribbon" is much simpler - once you get used to it and are past cursing at it. Regards, Michael B.
