OK, I just had to get that out of my system (if you'll pardon the pun).

It's driving me up the wall. Got this new laptop with Microsoft's latest all singing all dancing wonderful new OS.

It's also got stuff preloaded on it which I do NOT want. On the desktop I see the dreaded triangle - a shortcut to AOHell. I do not want AOL. I go to Control Panel in the vain hope of removing all program connections to AOL and IT IS NOT FLIPPIN WELL THERE!

So, I right click on the short cut and check location. It's in Program Files>Online Services. So how do I get rid of the blessed thing? And that's only the start!

OK, maybe I'll get used to it eventually but when I ever upgraded from Windows 95/98/2000/me I never seemed to find it as painful as this. I love XP - why did I end up with Vista on my laptop?
