There doesn't seem to be a Vista forum, so I apologize for posting here...
*BUT*

I have been racking my brain trying to find the equivalent of "hardware
profiles" in Vista (i.e. CtrlPnl/System/Hardware tab). I need to delete a
corrupted docking station profile but there doesn't seem to be a way to do
that. PLEASE help.

Look again, there are over a dozen Windows Vista newsgroups.
 
Hello Frank,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

Based on my knowledge, Windows XP allows you to create multiple hardware
profiles. When you start working in Vista, you may notice that this option
is no longer available. It appears that Vista will automatically create
hardware profiles depending on the type of computer you are using. For
example, if you are using a laptop, Vista will automatically create a
profile called "Undocked."

You can still work with these hardware profiles as you could in Windows XP.
For example, you can disable specific services for a specific hardware
profile. This can be accomplished using the steps listed below.

1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then Administrative Tools.
2. Click the Services option.
3. Right click a service that you want to disable and click Properties.
4. Click the Log On tab.
5. The available hardware profiles will be listed at the bottom of the
window.
6. Select the appropriate profile from the list and click the Disable
button.
7. Click OK.
Now when Vista starts using the hardware profile, the specific service you
selected above will not be started.

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao
