Installing Vista Beta 2 on Inspiron 5100

I have switched completely to windows vista. currently, I am using Beta 2. I had few problems in figuring out some of the things. However, I did find an answer to those problems over the time. I intend to share the answered/unanswered problems related to Vista Beta 2 in this post. I am sure as I use more of the Vista, I will have more questions and I hope to share them here as I go along.

How to Map Network drive

Issue: In Windows XP, the option to Map Network drive is in Tools menubar of Windows Explorer. However, in Vista I do not see the Tools menubar when I go to Explorer.

Solution: The menubar in the Explorer can be hidden/unhidden by pressing Alt key. So if you cannot see the menubar, press Alt key to unhide it.
