Windows 7

[Cougr]

I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and was wanting to know if there's any tweaks I should make right away? I've basically only added the Quick Launch toolbar and changed the theme and wallpaper.

Win7 is a highly tweaked version of Vista already, should be no need to adjust it I disable an unneeded services by default, but the benefits are probably barely visible on paper.

Oh ok cheers man, I'm happy with the way it's working so I shouldn't mess with it.

One question, how do I change the My Documents target to G: Drive? I heard it was possible on Windows 7 but not Vista.

My Documents is now listed as a "Library" instead, so just right click on the word "Documents" under "Libraries" in the left hand side bar of any old explorer window, and click "Properties". Then just add your G: as a location, and if you want, remove all the other default entries.

Cheers all done now.

there is another way

goto C:\Users\<username>
right click on My Documents > properties > Location

Good to know, but it seems to be the same thing as just redirecting the default "save location" when you're editing the Library details however. Since the Library can deal with having multiple folders, I prefer that option.

This way, I have Documents set to its normal location, and if my USB drive happens to be plugged in, its documents folder shows up as well.

Just looked up the 3b error code and it seems to be either a driver or graphics card issue (after doing a very quick ssearch mind you).

Yup a bit of Google-Fu tells me similar. Mostly important low level drivers like storage or ACPI drivers.
