Wonder of anyone has help ideas for me to learn to operate Windows Vista Home
Premium (present from my brother), specially to
- set up workable user accounts,
- clean away unneccessary 'window'dressing' in email and Explorer;
- if it is possible to increase the hard drive by using both sides
- what security software is part of the package
- if it is compatible with 'SpeedUpMyPC' and 'Easycleaner' to clear away
excess duplicate files,
- it if is provided with a user-friendly manual to address registry errors
etc,
- if it has a facility to REALLY delete (shred) files to enable memory
recovery
- if updates will be or are available to address the user accounts problem
because this really scares me to use Vista at all?

Thank you for listening to Ladynobug

Thank you Malke, I see I have to spend many hours in what I wish was a
sinple click on the power button and off we go! So much to read, and only so
many hours in the day, she whinges??? I have better stuff to do than this, or
doing dishes.
I did receive notification in email about your response, but only the top
line of a very long browser address was highlighted ... I will do what I can
and thank you very much for your reply.

Just for interest: some of the books referenced below can be checked out of
your local library. I learned a lot by checking out "Windows Vista Step by
Step". By going through the book page by page with the book open in front
of your computer, you can learn a lot too.
