Vista Home Basic Question - Wheres the Help !!!!!

Question,

In WinXP, when you opened a box to change settings or options, in the upper right hand corner of
the box there as an "X" to close the box and a "?" (question mark) that you could click on then
click on an item in the box and you would get a small help box for that item. Where did that go in
Vista ???
My pop up boxes in Vista only have the "X" and no help for the options..... Is this "New and
Improved" or did I miss something ?????

Thanks
Brian

I haven't noticed your issue, but regardless, you should be able to open up
the help system by pressing F1. It should open up the help topic relevant to
the application that you are in.

That button is no longer there.

If you don't see the word HELP on the next line down,

Tap the ALT key.

I don't want to start flaming and assuming your experience... but
have you actually used the Vista help? Yes - it does open with F1,
but I have yet to see *any* context sensitivity in Vista help.
