Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

Too much info - I'm confused. I got to this newsgroup via Microsoft
Communities which I got to through Windows Mail, News. I don't see an
overlap of the Vista x64 forum and this newsgroup.

I've only had Vista for a couple of weeks after many years of XP. I don't
want to be a pest and cross post too often. Do you have any suggestions as
to when I should post here and when there?

What's a vBulletin?

It's a vBulletin forum which syncs to Microsoft Newsgroups, Bredt. That
means whatever you post in those Usenet Gateways will appear in the
Microsoft Newsgroup. There are *plenty* of such gateways on the Web which
mirror the Microsft Newsgroup posts. Some have their own forums also.

Yes that worked. Don't know how that happened.

I looked at the website you posted and it looks like a great forum. I'm
running Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. Is there a separate forum for 32-bit or
should I join that one?

Many thanks, CB

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

Personally, setting up a newsgroup reader is the easiest way. You don't need a login name/password etc.

See here CB:

Article: How to: Set Up Newsgroups in Windows Mail:
http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp...b-9ad40513af96

Important: In Step #6, mention the news server address for Microsoft Newsgroups. It is "msnews.microsoft.com"

Once done, you can subscribe to any number of newsgroups (Vista/XP/Office... and many more)

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

I did that - Thanks, CB

P.S. Don't know how I would have survived the introduction to Vista without
these newsgroups. I am subscribed to several of them. Thanks to all.

Re: Toolbars in Windows Explorer Changed

Your post referenced the forum not the tutorials.
A problem with the forum is exactly what you just did. You did not quote the
post you are replying to. Get smart and use a newsreader instead of the
crappy web interface.
