I hate the search feature, it pisses me off (XP has the best search in my opinion) And the taskbar is total rubbish. It seems a lot of people like it but I don't. I had to change all the settings, make my own quick-launch toolbar and install a 3rd party program to get it back to normal. |

Linux -- They sure as hell dont start from scratch on each new distro - heaven forbid if they did, theres already so many different versions of linux the average person doesn't know where to start. :waughh: |

| 883506 | 2010-05-10 03:35:00 | If you don't like the W7 gui, you should undergo successful therapy to learn to like it. If you do this, not only will you be pleased with the W7 gui, you will be pleased you undertook the therapy! (No need to thank me) Warning: don't try this with your wife (when you have a disagreement over something) [In my case she said the therapy wouldn't work, and that's when I added the word 'successful'. Her reply to the new version was a withering kind of 'snort' which was such a good answer I had to admit defeat...] |

| 883507 | 2010-05-15 01:22:00 | Still having network issues. On W7 I have disabled HomeGroup. Via the advanced settings I have also ticked "use user account and passwords" - at the bottom. I can see the win2k computer but I cannot access it. On W7: I have a folder shared on D: with full access. On Win2k: I have a folder shared on D: with full access and 2 printers. |

| 883508 | 2010-05-15 01:25:00 | Windows cannot access \\Thinkpad The network path was not found. But ... the computer was/is visible under network next to my computer. They are both on the same workgroup - HOME. Win2k has file and printing services installed and every protocol except Apple Talk and Net Monitor. |

| 883509 | 2010-05-15 01:34:00 | Disable password protected sharing in windows 7. Get teamviewer and send the ID and PW to me (if 2K is on the net). Thats if 2k works with teamviewer. I dont know if it does or not | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 883510 | 2010-05-15 01:42:00 | Well there is no password. It's blank. It's just the logon. Both W7 and Win2k has the same logon. W7 has a hardwired ADSL wireless router. Win2k is connected by a G series Wifi card. Infrastructure mode. |
