Dear Microsoft...

Thanks for putting out such a buggy OS (Vista) and then attempting to charge
$59.00 for me to send you an email. This is the reason people are switching
back to XP or over to Macs.

For some odd reason, every time I open the Control Panel, and attempt to
open the "Network and Sharing Center", the "Network and Sharing Center"
freezes up. It never unfreezes (unless I reboot). This is a definitive
problem, because I need to take the password off my network share, so my
entire office can continue running automated backups onto my system.

Is this a known issue?
Anyone know a fix to this?
Is there a command line to remove the password from the network share?

Try running a full Windows Update. That should resolve your problem of
some Control Panel and Network windows locking up. You may also want to
update your drivers.

As for using command lines to change system settings, suh as passwords
you ay want to try Windows Powershell. I've not used it myself, but it
appears to be the tool that you need in order to perform command-line
level tasks that can normally only be done via the GUI.

I cannot get my folders to share. I can access all the other Workstations
from the Vista machine and get into the files. From the workstations to the
Vista machine I can only get at the Public folder. I have set the share on
the folders but that does not do anything but lock my system up at times and
I have to reboot the Vista machine. I have even went to removing all the
Firewalls and still cannot access any folder but the public folder from any
of the CP workstations. It appears to me that all this security has done
nothing but slow the Vista down and make it very hard to get communications
on the LAN. I wonder what Dell would charge me to go back to XP on this
Laptop?? I have had it for four miserable months and about to use it for my
BOAT ANCHOR.

You need a KB Compatibility file update, Google Vista Network updates for
XP.

Is your network set to be a private or public network, and have you
turned on network discovery and sharing?
