    MSPaint with Vista question

    I like the mspaint that comes with Vista64 & want to use it in my new Windows7 machine - the paint there is not the same.



    In Vista mspaint is in /Windows/System32/mspaint. If I copy mspaint to a memory stick, say, do I just paste it to the same location in Windows7?

    Thanks.

    I'm not convinced that will work, but you could try.

    Alternatively, you could always download Paint XP for Windows 7 which, IIRC, is the same as Vista paint.
