Harold, I just removed my Vista install, but maybe I can
help a little.
UAC (User Account Control) can be turned off in Control
Panel/User
Accounts. Just ignore all the dire warnings. This is not
needed for a
savvy user.
Screensavers are .scr files. Use Vista's search feature to
find them. My
guess is they are in the Windows folder, but I don't know.
Why do you
want to know? I'll bet you're removing the ones you don't
use.
For the mouseover deals, I'd check display properties, or
right-click
the appropriate toolbar and get the properties.
For the files, I think you still have Tools/Folder Options
in Explorer.
You may have to right-click the toolbar to get the menu
visible.
No idea about the recycle. Even with all the tweaking I do,
I've never
managed to lose it. I remember seeing the XP fix
There's a very good Vista forum here:
http://www.pro-networks.
org/
They're friendly people, and usually answer quickly.

with Vista now,

I know it's
someplace in the computer because I'm able to delete files
to the
recycle bin (wherever it is hiding). I can also undelete the
last file
deleted. I'd like to have it on the desktop. How does one in
Vista
create that using the Registry. I know the way to do it in
Windows 98
(and maybe XP). NOTE: Since asking the question earlier, I
solved it by
reinstalling the system (easy enough since it happened way
before
installing programs and configuring etc.) but I'd still like
to know how
to do it.

posting never appeared in
the archives either but all youir many responses did. (poor
logic) Maybe
not because I would never know what doesn't get posted. And
it's not
that I'm looking for any 15 minutes of fame but thought it
might add to
your recent information re. what emails are posted and what
postings
appear in the archives. I'm sure eventually all that will be
straightened out.--- Harold
