Yes, to my knowledge.
Thanks for the banner, silverdrop!

I know what you mean, but my computer doesn't seem to work that way. No "Open folder" box pops up, there's simply a drop down list on the start menu itself.

Just create a new folder (right click, New, Folder), then go up through the folders.

I can scientifically prove that boredom can kill you. However, by the time I figure out how to prove it, I'd have already died of boredom.

I never thought of trying that.

Thanks, but still nothing.

I think MS must have done something strange with Vista. Or your copy of Vista could be defective or something. And I'm sure there's other possibilites as well.

Do you really need My Computer for anything, or are you just wondering where it is?

I heard Vista was very different compared to XP and other versions, but I wasn't expecting THIS different.

I need to get to Control Panel.

I'm sure it's there somewhere else but I had to make sure I wasn't missing it.

Or, you're looking for the Control Panel? What does that have to do with My Computer, then? I know my Control Panel is completely separate from my My Computer...

On my old computers you had to go to "My Computer" to even access "Control Panel" among other programs.

This computer lacks Windows Explorer as well.

Huh. I've got XP, and my Control Panel is just on my start menu.

*checks*

Alright, this is somewhat odd. Going up a folder from my Control Panel does in fact lead to My Computer, but the Control Panel doesn't show up in My Computer. Weird.

Well, my previous computer was from 1997 and had Windows 98, so the differences are quite understandable.
