Explorer.exe Running at 100% by Wayne Robinson
This has just started (2 days ago), where if I click on My Computer\ C\any folder explorer.exe runs and consumes 95% of the cpu. Additionally, the sub-folder (and folder contents) that I click on will never load. The address bar at the top turns green like it is trying to load the contents but nothing ever happens after letting it run for 3 hrs. I have a plain vanilla machine with a 2.2...

how do we get file size info in Windows Explorer by FireBrick[_2_]
In XP there was a way to have the file sizes totaled in the bottom of the page. It would give a total of all the files in that directory. I can't seem to find this option in Vista. My C drive keeps growing and I wish to see if it's my music or my pictures that are the culprit. I'm mathematically challenged so I need Vista to do the adding for me.

Hopefully this is the last question/help I need before re-installing by FireBrick[_2_]
You guys/gals have been a big help. Just to refresh. Wife installed Vista, and it really went weird. Instead of removing XP which was on C drive It somehow flopped the drive letters so what was c: now is on D: and vice versa. so now it looks like both versions are still on the machine but the drive info is confused.

Strange icon by Chet[_3_]
Hello group, I'm trying to change a desktop shortcut icon to one in the library that shows what looks like a hammer and a screwdriver in front of a file folder. But instead, I get an icon that looks like a laptop computer. All other icons work OK. Anybody know what's wrong with this one? Thanx

I can't sort desktop icons the way I want. by FireBrick[_2_]
I have placed or software has created some desktop icons that I just can not sort/arrange the way I want. I wish them to be sorted by name. That way some icons/Shortcuts would be in a location that's easiest to find/use. But they do not work the way they did in XP

"Invalid character" in activation attempt? by Jim Vaught
MS certainly makes it difficult to register!!! I bought a copy of Office 2007 Home and Student Edition today at a local Staples. I finally got it installed and then went to activate it. I entered what I THINK is the Product ID number. It is in the following general form: xxxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx Xxx-xxxxx (the capital "X" is really the character uppercase letter X) When I first tried to...

CD Autorun Bug by Moonraker0
I've recently noticed that when I put in a CD with an autorun app, it never runs the program like it should. I have Windows set to "Install of Run Program" by default. The drive light turns on and the disc spins, but nothing happens. I can still hear the spin sound for a while after the light goes off. If I right-click the disc in Explorer, its default option is "Explore", with no...
