Hey! English Teacher. Because I often go long times between one install to a new fresh install of any OS, I like to keep a fixes folder on one of my other drives (anything but C). That way if I do have to reinstall a year or two down the road I have a list of issues and tweaks that I did to get the system the way I like. Right now I have 26 of them for this Windows 7 installation. I have been using Vista for too long.

Add the Quick Launch Bar to the Taskbar in Windows 7
Change restore drives
Classic view in explorer
Disable win7 disk burner
Make run command history stay
Menu bar in explorer

and so on. Since MS in its infinite wisdom seems to think its necessary to change where things were done in previous versions when they put out a new version, I find this helps me in the long run. Most of these things I could do in Vista or XP, but with no experience with Win 7 I need this badly.
