How to Navigating the Windows Vista Control Panel
Things have changed in the land of windows. If you have used Windows Vista
or Windows 7 then you know what I am talking about. Getting into the
control panel will make this fact even more obvious. Most of the
functions of the Windows XP
control panel have been moved around or renamed. Below is a list of all
of the control panel sections. It includes what they were called in XP
and what they are now called in Vista and 7. The Command box shows what
to type at the run command line (start menu>RUN) to get there in a
hurry.
