hmm u can replace a "file" in RTM with other file from older version that can turn ur RTM to be activated

this is just rough explanation

i have not tried this method as i have not finished downloading,
you can find that "file" with guide in bt sites

dont u think the new Vista shut down button has gone over-complicated? unsure.gif sweat.gif cant they just make it ala XP style

personally, I think that Switch User and Lock is overlapping each other, and they can be combined become one, which is the current Switch User...it sure will confusing newbies of windows.
And between Sleep and hibernate, most people would be easily confused too...why they renamed from standby to sleep? Suspense could be better word.
and that menu make the power-off button and log-off button besides utterly useless  doh.gif  M$ just put them as garnishment ?
*
a few things in vista bcome more complicated than in xp
one of the example is shutdown button
but u can shutdown by pressing the power on button on ur cpu (the button u press when u wan to switch on cpu, this will not damage ur cpu, ur com will shutdown like normal shutdown)

another example is the "all programmes" in start up menu, cramped into smaller size =.=" not userfriendly, only a small space to view the programmes list, as time goes on, ur will com will b having more and more programmes to b installed in vista, by that time u will be suffering when viewing the "all programmes",because u have to scroll down and look for programmes u want

Really? Because I really do love the new 'All Programmes' style. And I don't even got lost, because I can just use the search underneath it tongue.gif
I think some ppl like me can get use to the new features more fast than others D:
*
i know that is good function, and m$ should not demolish that "all programmes" style in xp due to the search function is exist?
i like "all programmes" style bcos i can open the programme by using mouse and without typing tongue.gif

i don't see the advantage over the classic style if "programme list" is cramped into smaller space ?
if you see, pls tell me rclxms.gif

i think that there is stil a lot of space for m$ to improve vista interface
i feel that vista RTM is still incomplete


anyone knows how to arrange the desktop icons at horizontal style ?
i know i can do it manually, but is there an option in vista to do horizontal desktop icons arrangement??

I dunno, starting from XP, I had developed a style to tidy up my start menu according to genre, but I have seen some of my fren's start menu that span the whole monitor. that's what Microsoft are targetting really, the ppl that don't like to tidy up the menu.
*
sort it according to genre ? hmm vista at least does it
it will automatically recognise the programmes is a games(warcraft 3) and place the icon in the games folder

I'm using Vista build 6000. Do you guys know any registry cleaner that compatible with this version?

One more thing, I've installed AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free Edition. Everytime at startup, it will popup an error. This error will only popup if I shutdown for a while and turn back on the computer, but it will not popup if I restart my computer. What should I do?

After downloading and testing some sidebar gadgets, I tweaked a media player sidebar gadget and it works!! you just need to know how the WMP MSDN coding and you can make many cool stuff. The only thing that I need to make now is how to resize my 'folder.jpg' as it will sometimes be bigger than the gadget itself and not crop

for those who says that vista can't detect xp's pc, it's not true...i tried it before between my current vista pc and the other xp pc on the same workgroup and file sharing plus printer sharing IS POSSIBLE...maybe you've missed out some firewall settings...check that ...

yap
vista pc can detect xp pc

but the free upgrade of vista is just the upgrade from xp? meaning i have to install xp first then only can upgrade to vista? cannot directly install vista?

i asked the notebook seller, they said free upgrade to vista is true, but you still have to pay for cd/license shipping cost
