I have XP on one PC and Vista on the newer system. When I asked the retailer to load XP and not Vista on my new system they said they couldn't do that. Believe me if I could have purchased XP I would...

Thanks Conan, I've been to Folder Options and the view tab but I am not sure which little line to click.
I know this is simple but I can't figure it out. When I open a window that displays folders they open as icons, and I need to go to the view tab and chose "list" to display the folders as a list...
