Welcome to Seven Forums [5]

Hey there! I'm Adad64 (pronounced add-add and not a-dad btw. I am not a dad, just a programmer cursed with a crappy username but locked in by habit and years of using it.) I'm not a huge fan of Windows, but I use it when I must and have gained a bit of experience. Hopefully I can help some of the noobs and get helped by some of the 1337 in my stay here

Hello. I'm from Malaysia. Just upgraded to Windows 7 64bit and thus a complete noob. Hope you guys can bear with me.

Greetings, all. My name's Tom, and as I sit here, my copy of Win7 Pro 32bit is waiting at the post office for me to pick it up. I ran Win95c from 2001 to 2004, then XP Home since 2004, and I'll be installing Win7 in a dual boot config the week of May 13. I tried the Win8 Consumer Preview and simply hated it, and figured I'd better buy a copy of Win7 before the demand and prices start going up. Better late to the party than never.

My primary goal is to tweak and bend and do whatever it takes to get Win7 working the way I need and want... in other words, as much like XP as possible! I've already downloaded stuff like Classic Shell, ShellFolderFix, finding ways to add Quick Launch and the flashing Network indicator going, and get my unsigned drivers working on my soundcard, and will be keeping XP for a while... I have software that won't work with Vista, never mind 7 or 8.

Too long for an intro, so I'll just shut up now and start digging for info. Thanks for having me.
