I <3 Win 7. Natural evolution from XP for me. No idea where all your problems are coming from. Especially if you've been using Windows ME of all things, my lord. -.-
The Control Panel is oddly easier then XP's.
Search function works fine for me.
Libraries? Simply don't use them. Its not like they bug you if you don't use them. No water off your back.
Not sure how you ended up with two Documents...
No problems with the Start Menu. I can find everything.
Thunderbird? ( People use Outlook? >< ) And yeah, all of the odds and ends were packaged as Windows Live Essentials and can be downloaded through Windows Update. Remember MS was getting in trouble for prepackaging everything into one little monopoly so they had to shuffle off all their built in apps into an optional package so people had a "choice".
No probs with Snap here either, works fine.
What Broomjockey said about the Taskbar.
IE8 has the same shortcuts as 7, 6, 5, etc. Of course IE is also an abomination and always has been. Firefox ftw.
...yes you can apply folder settings to ALL folders. It was one of the first things I did and the window/interface to do so is identical to XP.
Icons is thumb-nailed view when dealing with media. You could also try Tiled. I've no problems with settings being remembered.
Change the log on sound, turn start up off, as someone said. Log on is basically the start up now anyhow.
Why is your user account not set as Administrator? I haven't gotten a single UAV message. Vista was such complete ass for that, that I'm surprised you'd be getting so many with Win 7 unless some severe restrictions were on your user login. I only get prompts when something tries to make major system changes ( ie installations ).
But yar, it's a new OS. It's not Win ME: Aeroglass Edition. However, everything is just as easy if not easier to do then XP, its weird you're having so many problems. I'd almost ask if it was Win 7 Starter or something but you seem to have Aeroglass. ;p
Granted I have Windows 7 Ultimate <3. The giga-nerd edition.

) over a nice little refurb beast that, according to researching the spec sheet, seems tailor made for multi-booting. So with some tweaking, I can have the Mac OS for when my mother is here and needs to do "stuff", Win 7 for my Sims. 
, and Linux to try it, since I'm multi-curious.
