My normal login is as an admin. I tried logging on as the main
Administrator and I have all the same issues; macros work only somtimes,
FavFolders work as I already described. Also, be aware that Favfolders
do not work at all with the new style dialog box of Vista applications,
even though the captions still match my *Format context statement
("filedialog, Select*, Open*, Save*, Extract*, Save Picture,*Choose
file"). They do work with other apps.

ctrl+alt+s does work as a hotkey whether "recognize hot keys when dos
active" is checked or not.

F3 works in all the above cases.

Double tap works and F3 to find next also works.

RightPress and Hold works as a hotkey
I have right click on caption set to Rollup the window. In Vista it only
blanks the window but seems to leave the frame. I changed to hotkey to
trigger a messagebox and that worked.

Not sure what this is, looked in help file but didn't see. Are you
talking about matching captions? Matching window captions works.

Needed to logon as Admin to install. Yes, it works

Had to install as admin but it works fine.

Same

Never used the plugin. Looked at docs and seemed to complicated for me.

Yes, Vista does have a clock. I'm not sure about "replacing" the clock
but I did create a button with info text of hh:mm:ss and that works
fine.
