Re: Windows Explorer in Vista?

Click on the blue Vista start button and in the Start Search box
type: Windows Explorer and it will magically appear at the
top of the Start Menu.

Hi,

"Computer" does open Windows Explorer.

Also, click start and type EXPLORER and hit <enter>

First, note that Computer *is* Windows Explorer. It's just a
particular view of it.

You can get there by holding down the Windows key and pressing "E"
(for Explorer).

Not a flame, just a genuine question....
If you don't use a Windows OS why do you visit a Windows OS forum?

So, tell us: What is the difference, to the uninformed, between technology
