While changing to the regular Windows 7 from the RC

As mentioned briefly elsewhere, if you've installed the Home Premium from its DVD, and then you wanted to add a new theme, and went to Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ looking for Themes, and it wasn't there, don't panic. Just create a new folder in the 'Windows' one named 'Themes', and copy yours into it. When you go back to the Desktop and click on 'Personalize', you'll find them there.

And if you're a Firefox user, and you want the latest version off the website, there are now two little boxes or buttons on there for downloads - so be careful. One's for the British English version, and the other (below it) in the U.S. English version. Windows 7 likes the U.S. version better. I accidently got the British version the first time, by clicking on the wrong button, and it wouldn't respond to my efforts to set my home page. It kept going back to the Welcome to Firefox thing. So when all else fails, read the directions.
