Vista - Where is System Information

Heh! What happened to System Information. In XP I could go to accessories
and get detailed reports about my system. I can't find that any more. Is it
still here but buried somewhere?

1. open the start menu
2. type "sys", look the results and hit Enter

Shortcut should be here:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System
Tools

Program should be here:

%SystemRoot%\system32\msinfo32.exe

I'm always amazed at how something new throws some people for such a loop
that they don't even think to look and see if things are where they used to
be.

Or type "system information" and go right to it. :-)

Thanks to everyone. My problem was that it was not enabled on the start
menu. All other versions of Windows have had that showing in the past as a
default. I didn't know about the sys command. I guess I will have to go out
and buy a bible.
