Re: I installed it and love it !!
I fiugured it out. The option for it is in the task bar setting now. It gives you a choice to show, or hide the clock; volume control; \network connections and power icon (if you have a laptop).
I learned something else also. The system restore takes has changed; when do a restore point and install a program, then go back to the point of restore you will lose your post restore point instillations. The good about it that you don't have to go into safe mode to do it anymore .. Losing post installs is a major set back. So I guess the best thing to do to solve that is to do a restore point before you install something ... That way if it screws up you and you have to go back, you won't lose anything ..
Another thing, stylexp does not work with vista. That is what screwed me up causing me to go back ..

In Taskbar and Start menu settings there is a notification area and in that it lists which icons to show all the time volume is one of them , I removed the check mark and it no longer shows .
Doh a little late but at least it is a detailed how to :lick:
Dont rush to get it your not missing anything that great , plus there are many apps that just dont work with vista ..

Johnny: of course StyleXP doesn't work with it yet. wouldn't make sense for a company like that to make a program for an OS while it was in it's beta stages, and it's still not out to the general public. it shouldn't take long after it's available though till it's usable.... just may take a bit till there are some stylish themes.

I wasn't impressed with Vista at all. It has a few good ideas but not enough for me.
[sarcasm] I just love [/sarcasm] how they use Apps Data instead of Application Data even though Application Data sill exists. I tried an early version so they may have changed it.
I hate the explorer layout. the fancy login screen, how it defaults to stand by and I cant change it to shut down (can change it to anything else).
I may install my free copy to see whats changed. But I'm not sure if I will keep it installed, we'll see.
