After installing something within the last month, I noticed that all of my Windows Explorer windows look like this:

Note that there is no address bar or anything.

This morning I finally did a quick search to see if this is a problem and sure enough it is, here's the fix(requires deleting a reg key): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555130.

After following those steps here's what my Windows Explorer looks like now:

I configured the best lappie I could buy on Apple's site and here's what I got:

Here's why I don't have a mac(yet). Macs don't seem to drop in price very much, at least not at the same rate as their non-Mac rivals. And no, I don't think the price of a Thinkpad is going to drop 650 bucks a month. However, I'm confident(today) that I can always buy better non-Mac hardware for fewer bucks.

I priced similar components I picked for the Mac for a Lenovo Thinkpad:

See what I mean? Same components, almost 1000 bucks cheaper. And actually, that machine is almost worth buying. Three things would keep from buying that machine. 1)It doesn't have 3+ ghz processor, and for some reason I'm fixated on requiring that number; 2)It has to come with Vista 64, I don't do Vista(I'm waiting on Windows 7); and 3)I don't have an extra 2400 bucks right now :)

ps. If it was a supported option, I would consider putting the Mac OS X on that thinkpad...until Windows 7 comes out anyway.
