Default Date and Time control panel in Vista

Yet another annoyance over XP.

The D&T CP in Vista is poorly designed, worse than it was in XP. The only way you can select the month is with left and right arrows and scroll through the months this way?

I am unable to get a drop down menu of the months like XP had, which was the much more logical way of doing things. Is there any way to make it a drop down in vista as well?

Geez, you hate Vista...the problem you're having can be solved simply by clicking on where it says: "June, 2008" above the dates.

Thanks. Annoying that there is no indication of any kind that you can click there, and this is still more clunky than a simple dropdown menu...

Something tells me that even if it was exactly like it is in XP, you'd still have a problem with it. And the indication is that it turns blue when you hover over it...just like any link.

It is constantly blue, but not like a link. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have aero and all that stuff disabled so the interface is like Windows 2000.
