Ok so I am trying this shit but I cant even open the docs and settings folder. I am the administrator of this machine but that doesnt seem to make any fucking difference

like i said, you have to adjust what it says to work for windows 7

windows 7's "documents and settings" folder is actually under c:\users ..there's a couple of other parts that are different but you'll figure it out, just keep looking

edit: C:\Users\user.name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows is what i deleted on mine.. i actually just deleted everything it would let me while still logged in on my account and it worked fine

you know, when i first saw the Snap feature where you drag 2 windows to the sides to arrange them side by side, i thought it was pointless and i would never use it

but i actually use it pretty frequently

go figure

^Seriously. I find myself doing that gesture out of habit on my XP computer at work only to be disappointed when it doesn't do anything.

Yeah, I use the side-by-side snap a lot. The shake to minimize other windows I rarely use.

I use the maximize/unmaximize snap all the damn time and any time I use an OS without it i grumble.

SP1 Next Month:

"Come late July, Microsoft will release the first Service Pack for Windows 7, the Redmond outfit announced in a blog post on Monday. However, don't expect any major performance enhancements, as was the case when the first Service Pack for Vista significantly improved the overall OS experience. "While the new features for Windows Server 2008 R2 benefit Windows 7 by providing a richer VDI experience, SP1 will not contain any new features that are specific to Windows 7 itself," Microsoft wrote. "For Windows 7, SP1 will simply be the combination of updates already available through Windows Update and additional hotfixes based on feedback by our customers and partners. In other words, customers can feel confident about deploying Windows 7 now!" Microsoft said that it has already sold over 100 million license of Windows 7, which is in line with most analysts' figures. And following SP1, Microsoft will likely see a spike in sales, as some businesses often wait for the first Service Pack to debut before migrating to a new OS. "

Hopefully it doesn't cripple any hardware like the first SP in Vista.

i assume he's talking about the endless reboot that a small percentage of users experienced after the vista SP1 pre-req updates were installed

who knows what he's actually talking about, though

I really have to explain this to you?
