The other day I really needed to get to the "Mail" icon in the control panel on my vista desktop.  That's easy you might be thinking!

After spending 5 minutes hunting around switching from classic view then back to normal view and then back to classic etc etc I thought this is damn right stupid the email icon must be there somewhere so after a quick Google I found that you need to do the following in 64bit Vista:

- In control panel switch to classic view
- Click "View 32bit Control Panel Items"
- There it is the email icon, why did Microsoft make it so hard!!

If you're looking for the built in Vista snip tool for screen shots you'll find it nicely hidden away if not installed by default:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. -> Programs
  3. -> Turn Windows features on or off
  4. -> From the list select Windows Tablet Options Components

Hmmmm.....That was obvious!
