I can not speak for the issues you have with Vista(ster) [sorry, but I can not resist!!! :roll: ]; as I am an XP user. I do not install ANY of my applications in %ProgramFiles% because, I knew someone who had his %ProgramFiles% sector on the disk get flaky, and of course, he did not back up the hard...

IMHO, when it comes to javascript, the less, the better . For me, the same is true for flash. I am a regular peruser of ZDNET, and it looks a lot better once their advertising crap has been sent to /dev/null.
