You can also post to a newsgroup/forum that has the word Windows in its
name.

You didn't tell us which Windows you are using?!?

Anyway,

First, you need to find an applicable discussion group for your question.
This is a .NET programming group.

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the Windows XP category or the Windows Vista category as appropriate,
then find a group there for your question.
