Most of the services are still disabled and the desktop icons have all gone and can only be accessed via the taskbar. That might be a Vista setting but I don't use Vista so not sure where to find that without digging.
PC still can't see network cable (think thats a service disabled)
I don't use Vista neither. I also don't know what the service is called, so can't research it. You may have to find it manually, use this guide if needed.
