Config file has been moved to Application Data folder to be more Vista friendly
Added "connected" instead of "available" status and different colour icon for connected access point in summary tab list
Added connection speed to summary screen
Added new option to load a new map if map is missing from project file, if map is the same map in a different location or a new map with the same dimensions then the samples in the project file wont be lost

Added security method in use to Security column on summary tab for Vista if known
Changed behaviour when loading a new map in the map options, if map is same size current samples are no longer reset

Fixed a crash in Vista that could occur when removing and adding USB wireless cards
Fixed bug when connecting to a SSID with a shorter name could leave old characters from the old name in the SSID description
