Shortcuts not displaying proper icons by
Blue Max
Some of our desktop shortcuts occasionally do not display the proper icon.
For example, we have a desktop shortcut linked to an old MS-DOS program
(Computer Associates AccPac Plus). Therefore, the shortcut acts as an old
PIF file which allows the user to control many settings for the shortcut and
DOS window.
By right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting 'Properties' and the
'Program'...

imcrobie
I have only just installed Vista Business 32 on a Dell Vostro 32 that I

had a very large c:drive so I followed a prompt that said I would get
more space if I changed the drive to Dynamic. I did this and all worked
fine until I attempted to reboot and you guessed it..... The machine
will now not reboot.

Find any file containing a string? by
Calab
The search function in Vista seems like a step backwards from XP...
How can I search for a file that contains the string "TSID", when I don't
know the file type? The Vista search function does NOT index all files and
even the files it does index don't have the contents as searchable.
I've looked in the indexing settings in the control panel and I can't see
any easy way to select all and...

WinPE & dynamic disks by
Topcat
This is just a general query about how WinPE handles dynamic disks.
Let me explain the scenario...
I'm using Backup Exec System Recovery to migrate one server to another. The
SRD (Symantec Recovery Disk) is based on WinPE (you boot off it and then
restore the volumes to the new server).
My source server has 2 disks (1 basic and 1 dynamic). The dynamic disk has 5
simple volumes. When I try...

where to put hotkeys? by
charles cashion
Any shortcut will allow you to assign a hotkey to it.
But the hotkey fails to work. I suspect that the shortcut
has to be in the path. Under XP, I could put the shortcut
into C:\WINDOWS. Under Vista HP, I am not allowed to put
anything in C:\WINDOWS. (Even though I am administrator)
I suppose I could add C:\Users\ccashion to the path, but
I am not sure where to add it.
So I guess my two...

Move Users from XP to Vista by
Ward[_2_]
Hi,
Just got my first Vista PC and was wondering the best way to move Users (my
kids) over to vista from XP.
Do I create users first on vista and copy all their dir's over or will the
files and settings transfer wizard be better?
Any resource to help with these kind of questions?
