Good stuff JohnO,

That's the kind of thing I was looking for.

Do you know what email client it uses and is it straight forward like OE for example.

One last question.

Do I need to back up all of my files before installing Win 7?

I will check out David Bail's tutorial too,

He does indeed write some good ones. Thanks,

Tony

Hi Sween,

You'll get a lot of annoying UAC (User Account Control) prompts at
first, but they'll settle down after a while.  Windows Explorer in
Win7 is buggy and overly complicated, imho.  The freeware program
Classic Shell addresses most of these issues.  Other must-have
installs include 7Zip, GWConnect, NVDA, Pandoc, and The Qube.  I
wasn't a fan of Win7 at first.  I missed XP's no-nonsense directness,
but I gotthe the hang of Win7 after a while.

Good luck!

John


PS: Doesn't David Bailes have a Win7 guide?  Link, anyone?
