I have no idea what you are talking about. Only one thing opens =
automatically on first logon to a clean install of Vista and that is the =
Welcome Center to which I was referring. To what exactly are you = referring
or are you just making stuff up?
You have what you want. Your whining, and something you have =
repeated over the years, is that you want the product defaults to be = your
personal preferences claiming that what you prefer for yourself is = what
everyone should prefer. It's as bogus a suggestion now as it has = always
been.
