Faster start up of System Restore. It takes too long load. Ditto the UAC creating a safe list based upon usage. I want the "Delete", "Move To" and "Copy To" icons back in a toolbar in Windows Explorer and in the right-click menu. If there is a way to show them now in Vista, I haven't found them yet. Easier access to modifying the Start menu items when one is using the Classic menu and running as an admin. There are about three different Start menu locations I have to

Thanks, bobbyhundreds! That's just the information I was looking for.
Object Desktop consists of a multitude of smaller programs, not all of which, according to their various websites (and not all of the little sub-programs have their own websites) are yet Vista-capable. Could we possibly have a pinned post that just lists which of the sub-programs of Object Desktop currently work with Vista 32 and 64, so we don't have to screw around with trial-and-error installations (not to mention upsetting Vista's tender sensibilities and the aggravation that causes)? Thanks
Any update yet on CursorVista? I'm really missing my ClearXP cursors! ~muttering to self~ ...all I've got is this stinkin' white arrow...
Don't remember which CD it was, but the Technics CD player that I bought in 1986 is still going strong!
Does this mean I should dig my Commodore 64 out of the closet?
I'm a person who has had legal copies of all of my Windows products, but I am personally tired of the hoops I'm having to jump through before I can update anything, the increasing number of bits of software that call home to Redmond, the fact that music I legally purchase becomes inoperable when I try to transfer it to another computer THAT I OWN, and the fact that when I buy a computer I don't get a full copy of the OS on disk. It's not pirates, it's the fact that we've all wised-up an
As someone who does not require cutting edge technology, based upon what I've read from various sources Vista doesn't seem to offer anything special for me. When I heard the initial sales figures being glowing reported, I just thought to myself, those only represent the people who just have to be the first adopters of any new tech, wait to see if the average user jumps on the wagon or not. I know that I'm the anomaly among my female friends regarding the "look" of my computer. None of

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! And a special thank you to all of you who have created such wonderful Windowblinds, cursors, objects and whatnot. You have made the time I spend on the computer immeasurably better.
Kudos to you for facing facts and (hopefully) start resolving the problems, especially the documentation ones. I picked up Object Desktop after I had gotten Windowblinds and CursorXP because I wanted to try my hand at skinning. But I'm a total newbie to that and my computer knowledge is self-taught, so I've been finding the task daunting and time-consuming instead of fun.
Thanks DocLotus, for pointing out the dpi problem. I had just opened Theme Manager and found that I only got a portion of its screen, the apply button, etc. were cut off, and there was no way to expand its screen or apply the downloaded themes. Changing the dpi corrected that problem, but now I'm stuck with the smaller fonts which are hard for me to see. This is really a PITA.
Thanks for the update and being open about things.
To continue on with a wallpaper problem, I've got the "apply any wallpaper supplied" option checked, yet when I apply a WB, I seem to retain whatever my previous wallpaper was, even though when I download the WB files, the image on say, wincustomize, seems to indicate that there is a specific background wallpaper for that particular WB. What am I doing wrong with this? Is it just that there are no actual wallpapers being supplied, that they are going to some other location,
