I may have a stupid question here, but when I right click the desktop, it gives me a menu and instead of properties, it says personalize. How do I change that to properties like the way Windows XP had it? Otherwise, how do I make personalize into a menu so that I don't have to click it and it opens up a big window.

That's just how Vista is setup. Even if you go change the theme to Windows classic it's still going to respond like that. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7900GT SATA II 2x 300gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0+1 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

yeah this is one of the reasons why vista sucks. i wish the personalize at least had a menu.

You can always go back to XP. XP will be around for a while to come. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz 2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200 Nvidia 7900GT SATA II 2x 300gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0+1 Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI
