The Vista Registry

I hacked into my Vista Registry today and I am the proud new owner of two new commands: Copy to Folder....and Move to Folder.....on the Vista context menu. I also bought a Sony device that is supposed to by-pass a computer and copy directly from any recording device unto a DVD. Good in theory. In practice it did not work. I did not recognize my little cheap USB Flip recorder. So back it will go on Monday. Needless to say that the tech guy at Best Buy told me it would work. I guess Sony is pulling one of these "Sony only plays with Sony" machinations. I will educate the tech guy.
