| | Documents and settings I have used every MS operating system since Windows 3.1, I have Beta tested three versions. Last week I installed VISTA, to be completely honest it is HORRIBLE, the only way to get rid of it short of shooting the computer was to reformat the harddrive and UPGRADE to XP Professional and this is much more stable. The problem is that when I installed XP I lost my documents and settings folder, how can I get it back. Also with automatic updates turned on there is no way of knowing what it is dumping into my computer, it keeps trying to force IE7 on me and I much prefer IE6 |

I rather like Vista and it's been very stable. I'll never go back to XP.  |

| | Re: Documents and settings If you 'upgraded', you should have a folder labeled 'windows.old'.. look there for your documents. IE7 is there to stay. IE6 will not run on Vista. Automatic updates keep your system running properly. Set to manual if you want to see what it is doing. -- Mike Hall - MVP http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx "NIGEL YATES" <NIGELYATES@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C17C31CD-1342-442B-B780-8C648490D97A@xxxxxx Quote: >I have used every MS operating system since Windows 3.1, I have Beta tested > three versions.
