I want a "surface" wall computer ...

I hear ya ... you might give FileSearchEX a try ... it's getting there. Regarding Windows 8 ... I think it will be awesome on tablets, which as you've stated further down, is what it is all about. Windows 7 will be around for another 10 years; I'll be good for creative/productive types who...

I've taken to using Sumatra pdf ... see if it works for you.

I don't think it of it as an alternative ... seems a more different experience.

Hmmm ... try FileSearchEX using the following search term: *.asf | *.avi | *.wmv *.mpeg | *.mpg | *.m1v | *.mp2 | *.mp4 | *.mov

I think Windows 8 is a test OS ... probably going to be nice, but everything is standardizing on Windows 7 which will be around a long time.

My preference is to use Ghost Solution Suite ... specifically the ghost32.exe (or ghost64.exe) running from a Win7PE_SE iso that booted off a USB key. If you want an all in one do everything for you solution Ghost Solution Suite or Acronis get mentioned allot. Several years ago a company I...

What Drew said, also I like to remove the 100mb partition when I do. Here are my steps for that:

Yes, you can remove all that ... but only the SQL stuff is probably actually "running" on the box. Here is my uninstall list for VS2008: Microsoft Device Emulator Microsoft SQL Server * Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2 *

I have to say that I think I like the new one ... but only because I can pin what I need to the main view ... going into All Programs is must worse than the old way, which was better in this regard.

Make sure you install the latest version of Flash ... they now have one for both the x86 and x64 version of Internet Explorer. Having said that, make sure you're using the x86 (32bit) version of explorer. No matter what though, you should upgrade Flash.

Agent Ranseck is good ... another one I really like is FileSearchEX because it reminds me so much of classic XP style search. While we are on this topic, you've got to try out ClassicShell ... you can customize the explorer to act more like XP. I did not use it to change the start menu, but just...

Are you referring to opening them in Outlook, that is to say, you sent them to Outlook and they won't open? Each version of Outlook is a little different in this regard. Tell us the version and we can tell you have to handle attachments. Also, are you in POP, SMTP, or Exchange mode?

My Windows 7 setup routine Everyone has their fav Windows 7 setup routines I'm sure ... here is mine ... keep in mind that you have a laptop hard drive which are usually pretty slow. I would put an SSD in that thing and it will fly.

I hate iTunes ... I install it in a VM now when I have to do something to my iPhone or iPad ...
