Recycle Bin icon doesn't update icon status by Holger Metzger[_2_]
Hi all, my Recycle Bin does not update its icon status, i.e. when I delete something I always have to press F5 to "refresh" the icons to get the correct icon of the "full" bin displayed; and when I empty the recycle bin, the same thing happens. What seems to be the problem here? Is there a icon cache file somewhere that I have to delete? -- Holger

Vista SP1 & Mapped drive issue by Keith B. Rosenberg
We have a desktop (Ultimate) and a laptop (Business). The desktop has a shared folder that is accessed from the laptop. At seemingly random times the laptop suddenly cannot access the share on the desktop machine and so cannot save files back to their original locations. Whenever this happens the desktop needs to be rebooted to make it work again. Also nearly every time the desktop will never...

10 Things I Hate About Vista by Graham
Top 10 things I hate about Vista 10 - Dialog boxes keep popping up, even after I click "do not show me this message again" 9 - When I connect my digital camera, Vista automatically opens MS Word (??) and then tells me that "Word doesn't support this device" (!!) XP automatically opened my digital camera software (Zoom Browser) -- now that was smart.

Solution: Getting the Motorola PC850 Bluetooth dongle to work with windows vista by favian
There was a thread in this newsgroup about getting the PC850 to work with Windows Vista but it cannot be replied to with Google Groups. If you're using the driver cd the PC850 came with, or the driver download offered on motorola's website, it will not work period. Don't expect the generic drivers that vista automatically installs for the dongle to work within vista's proprietary bluetooth...

Directory Will Not Display File Names When Displaying Icons by mcl
1st I hate Vista but Home whatever came with it. Now I have one directory where when I display icons no filenames show....only icons. I tried creating another directory and moving the files. It didn't fix it. The other directories are fine. If I display details or list the names show up fine...same with tiles or list.

Auto Play don't Work by Richard
I can't get Auto Play going. When I put in a DVD program, game, OS or a DVD which does have an auto play or which is bootable it just does nothing. I went into the Auto Play setting and check the box. I put all of them to default. Still don't work. How can I get a bootable DVD to boot?

USB hubs not recognised by Billericay Pete

There are 2 ports on the front of the PC and 3 at the back - it makes no difference where I plug the hubs in, they are not recognised. If i plug my printer/mp4 player/camera etc directly into 1 of the USB ports...

I have attempted malware removal, virus and adware removal, and a sytem restore. Nothing works. I have to use the Task Manager to start programs. When I ask it to run something, though, a Windows...
