Hi,This cannot be done directly in Windows, but... there are alternatives likehttp://www.winhelponline.com/downloadattachment.php?aId=9f390841cdbe0c2457898179b80dfce0&articleId=231orhttp://www.creativelement.com/powertools/#downloadAs far as I know they are freeware allowing some things Vista did not allow. I haven't tested them myself, but they may be useful for you.RegardsRem
