Sentimental Fool
Disorientation is not an uncommon sensation among those users coming to
Vista from earlier versions of Windows. Here??™s where you can find some of
the more elusive entities you may have grown accustomed to in Windows XP:
Add or Remove Programs
This is still in Control Panel, but now it??™s called Programs and Features.
Address Bar
The path box in Windows Explorer doubles as an address bar, so if you
want to type a path or copy the current path to the clipboard, click just
to the right of the text, and Explorer will show you a familiar, backslashequipped
folder path.

Get Started with
Windows Vista
Display Properties
Right-click an empty area of the desktop and select Personalize (or open
the Personalize page in Control Panel), and then click the Display Settings
link at the bottom of the page.
File Types window
Sorry, you don??™t get one of these in Vista. The best Microsoft could do
is the Default Programs page in Control Panel. If you want to edit your
context menus, you??™ll need File Type Doctor, explained in Chapter 3.
Menus in Windows and Internet Explorer
Microsoft took the menus out of both Windows Explorer and Internet
Explorer, and replaced them with drop-down buttons that do pretty
much the same thing. But you can always press the Alt key on the keyboard
to temporarily show the old, familiar menu bar in either application.
See Chapter 2 if you want to make it permanent in Windows
Explorer.
