Hi, I don't get here much. I just install Vista SP2 on a lappy (DellVostro 1000).
1. Can the file tree be changed in Explorer so it shows Computer?
2. How do I get the start button to say Restart instead of Lock?
3. I want to turn off the security center popup about UAC ans Windows updates.

Hello Gary,

Q1) If you like, you could use the method in the tutorial below to drag the Folders top border up and down to show or hide what you like.
Q2) Not sure that can be changed, but you can click on the arrow to the right of the Lock button to see Restart.

Q3) The tutorials below can show how to disable the Security Center alerts, and for the Windows Update alert.



Hope this helps. :)
