HI, Jim.
Just click here to "cut out the middleman":
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management
Unless blocked by something like a corporate firewall, that one click will:
1. Start your default newsreader (Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, or a third-party program);
2. Create a News Account for this Microsoft public news server, which is free and does not require a login (and does not use your and our posts to generate revenue from ads, like VistaHeads and many other forums do);
3. Subscribe you to THIS (Vista file management) newsgroup;
4. Download the 300 newest posts; and
5: Display the latest post in the Reading Pane for you to read.
After you explore this interface for a while, you can click on Tools | Options and customize it in many ways to fit the way YOU want to read the messages. And you can subscribe to as many of the 2000+ newsgroups (in many languages) as you like.
See you around the newsgroups! ;<)

No, it's you who needs the explanation and I say this not to hurt your
feelings but to help you get the solution to your question which you
obviously want. You are not posting on a real forum as you think you
are
and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You
are
using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of
us
are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to
participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This
is
very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you
prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones:
'AumHa Forums • Index page' (http://forum.aumha.org/index.php)
http://http://computerhaven.info/
Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is
really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to
use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can
use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it.

Ok, so I thought I was posting on a real forum, and of course I know I
left the quoting out, because I edited it. I'm not yet into this
newsgroup thing anyway. I'll see if I can rearange my previous posts of
which I left some quoting too, so that they all contain the full story.
