Vista help!

I have just got a new laptop, with Vista Home Premium and I am struggling a little!

Where is the My Computer, My documents?

I do wish that it had XP instead! Is it possible to run XP on my new laptop? I have it on my old descktop, but it came pre-installed, with no disks.

    vistas just like xp once u get used to it (Aside from a couple of things I detest)

    documents ~ goto the icon bottom left (called START on xp) and DOCUMENTS is near the top at the right

    MY COMPUTER is just called COMPUTER instead
    :idea:
  • Thank you very much! I'm sure that I will get used to it, just all a bit new at the moment.

    yup you will find that they changed the names of quite a few things that people have got used to - why they did this I don't know - but seems to go with microsofts policy of - if it works - change it
