Okay, so I am on the laptop and I go to use a program and it isn't there. What the heck? I also notice that the games folder is now empty. Hmmm...
A day or so ago I decided to get rid of some Windows programs that I do not use and have no plans to use like Outlook Express and Messenger. Apparently by removing these junk programs I also deleted the Accessories and Games Programs. Why all these things are connected only the foolish people at Microsoft can explain although I have my doubts of that.
Thankfully there is System Restore to rescue my idiotic self. I went back to a restore point and got everything back. I then tried to delete Messenger again and guess what? It deleted the Games and Accessories files again! Another Restore and all is back to the way it was.
I then had to go and update the wireless connection driver since I had updated to a new driver after the restore date. I really hate having my wireless connection drop down to 1 MB per second or whatever it is. Not cool at all :(
So, I guess I am stuck with the stupid programs that Windows thinks that I need. At least all is working properly with the stuff I truly do need, like the internet browsers.
And the fine folks at Windows and Microsoft wonder why people switch to Linux instead. get a grip, people!

Microsoft, Take Note
Now that your genius software people have upgraded everything, making it "simple" I have an even better task for them. How about making it work for a change?
While I am sure that the new and improved Windows is very nice, I'll stick to XP until all the geniuses get all the bugs out thanks. I'd be much happier as a PC user if you could figure out how to get the newest version of Internet Explorer (also new and improved) to work properly. You know, without freezing up and messing up the entire computer while it tries to unstick itself?
Personally, I'd pick working properly over simple any day of the week and twice on Sundays :)
I realize this is probably a great task to undertake. Maybe you all could go back to Windows 3, the one that actually did work before you tweaked it LOL
