Trust me, you're going to be doing a LOT of learning! :-) I
found out how to add the icons to the QLTB. You have to hold
the ctrl key while dragging. Plus you have to turn auto hide
off because the taskbar won't raise automatically. At least
not here! :-O
So you have to run their modem software? That sucks. :-( I'm
glad that I don't have to worry about that. Even when I was
working on a machine with WinME I could connect to the
internet without installing the software, although I think
that is because I'm using a router and that's basically
another computer sorta speak.
Well a lot of things are xp-like, so you won't be totally lost,
but a lot of things you might have gotten use to under XP is
totally different though. I like the way I can now see the
results on the desktop of the wallpaper changes. It will open
up the folder you choose and a box comes up with the images in
it, just click on the image and the desktop changes without
having to hit the "apply" button. Having a second monitor
helps a LOT, but if you minimize all the apps and just have
the wallpaper thingy open, you'll still see the changes.
A sidenote though. Doesn't have anything to do with Vista, but
I've always wondered why I can't have different wallpaper for
each monitor? I have google screensaver installed and XP's
slideshow is the same, that when the screensaver goes active,
there's a different picture on each screen. So the technology
is there! :-)
Well, I gotta get to Eric's message and then to XP. I need my
other four speakers! :-O
