Hello,
Being a real pioneer at my company, I updated my xp box to Vista Wednesday afternoon, leaving it on through the next morning, because, obviously, it takes hours.

When I came in the next morning, I logged into Vista. It looks beautiful, but, my goodness, I just can't believe what it did to my PC. I'm a domain administrator, so, theoretically, I should have full admin. rights on my box. But, Vista changed my profile from "Documents and Settings" to "Documents." I have no problem with that, but, it didn't move MY profile as it was. It just created a new profile for me. All of the old profile, my documents, etc., etc., are inaccessible, because, the "documents and settings" folder infrastructure is now closed! "Access denied" appears when you try to get into it. What's going on here??

I also can't map any network drives to my servers, which are still in an NT domain.

I can't activate applications, because it says I don't have rights to the directories in which those applications reside!

I'm flabbergasted. This morning I'm going to re-install it, this time not doing an update, but a full blown install, formatting the drive and all. I have enough backup of my stuff. I actually seem to recall that in all updates of Windows, I always do end up just installing it full force instead of updating.

Thanks,
Peter
