What do you want to do. Vista is not XP and things are a little different, but the functions are there.

Ah, I understand (I will be more patient :)). Is it only in Control Panel you have a problem?
No other problems at all?

Hmm, In classic view I have nothing in the left pane either. Is there something supposed to be? I would not know because I never use that.

I was serious. Is there something I miss. He said that there was nothing in his left pane - and I have nothing in the left pane either. Take that as info - not spam.

Rosario, I did exactly what you said with 1,2,3 in your previous post. But in Vista you can get it if you go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a Program. Try that.
Edit: Bartman was faster - same thing.
