Vista issues !!

I was happy when I moved to Vista but could not understand why MS
takes a step back, namely:

1. Why would they remove all the useful buttons from Explorer like,
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete. You have Map drive but no DELETE??? which
do you use more often? Yes you can use the keyboard but why take your
hand off the mouse if you dont have to. What happened to Customize
button bar?
2. What the heck is the deal with Organize? You have the same
functions under Edit. Why cant they provide a button to make New
Folder ? That is the most needed feature in Explorer.
3. Why does my laptop simply shuts down without warning, no sound, no
popup nothing. Yes i changed the Low battery notification. Still no
avail.
4. Startup: totally blank screen ! Where is the progress bar?
5. Shutdown: totally blank screen ! Where is the progess bar?
6. What happened to Webcam application. How am I going to test/adjust
my webcam? What if I want to take a picture? In control panel there
is Scanners and Cameras but nothing in it !! These were all right
there in XP...WTF???

I hope all these are fixed in SP1. If not I am going back to good ol
XP !!!

Are you talking about Windows Explorer? Cut, copy, paste and delete are
still there. Just click on "Organize" or the down arrow beside it. "New
Folder" is the first there. I didn't go any further on your list of
complaints.

No buttons, but you can press Ctrl and bring up temporally the old File
menus
If you want them permentally, select Organize then Layout and check Menu Bar

Yes the same, but under organize there are more options than under Edit.
I agree the buttons where a needed feature and I do miss that. Quickest
way now is select Organize then select New Folder. Not sure why the buttons
are not in Explorer but show up when you download something which looks
like Explorer.

Can't help you there.

Is it really needed? Ever see that commercial, you will get to
the Internet when you get to the Internet? :>)

Same as above :>)

Can't help here either, never used one.

Ah come on, just have more patience and learn the system. It's
different than all others, but give yourself time and you will be
pleased with it just as you did with XP.

Open windows Explorer>Organise>Layout>MenuBar
Right-click on anything to gelete it; thesame as XP!

As to the rest of your problems, you are the only one with them!
People give their time here for FREE;
and not to put up with ranting whingers like you!

Get it fixed under Warranty!

How is a service pack going to teach you to use a new OS? Or fix a
hardware defect (the abrupt shut downs)?

"how come there are millions of people out there who hate the new
look of Vista?"

Millions? And none of them thought to look at a screen shot, read a magazine
or see it at work on the shop floor?
What a crazy world we live in!
