One thing I'm having a lot of problem getting use to is how the location of where the file to be saved is displayed. I guess the whole path thing is the issue in all the folder boxes. When you're browsing it's fine. But when IE pops up a save file dialog it seems a little confusing at first. Perhaps this is just a learning curve now that you don't need to pop up a treeview for the...

I use Eudora 7 for email and in previous versions of windows I could open the C:/program files/qualcom/eudora folder and see all my attachment folder, mailboxes, ini files, etc in case I needed to transfer them over to another computer. In WinVista they don't show up automatically. Instead when i open that directory a new menu item appears on the toolbar right between Previous Versions and...

Just wondering if there's any way (most probably via registry I guess) to auto expand the 'more information' panel when transferring files? Thanks

I cannot finf the Character Map when I Start AccessoriesSystem Tools. The Character Map does not show up. How can I find it??? Bernie

Why am I not able to add the delete button to the tool bar?

I think it would be very convenient to have the 'copy/move to..' option on the right-click context menu for files and folders. Nothing to lose by doing this. Only something to gain for those of us who would find it convenient. Please choose 'I agree' if you think so too :) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes....

I love how in XP, I can double click on a folder while holding down CTRL and it opens up a NEW widows at that destination. I also love how I can do this with the UP button i Explorer and it goes up a directory while opening a new Explorer window. This ability is GONE in Vista and it frustrates me to no end. PLEASE allow for the CTRL button to work again. I'd REALLY like to see this work with...

Hi, I am using RC1 build 5600 are file tags only associated with pictures, I thought however tags could be added to any files. Has this feature been dumbed down due to the release schedule or am I missing something more subtle. Martin

I don't like how MS continues to dumb Vista down. First they scaled back great deal of Virtual Folders prominence in OS. Now, they simplified Stacks in Explorer, so that their icons do not represent relative volume of its contents, as it did in earlier builds. That way user had an instant idea how many items a stack did contain. Now this functionality is lost for no apparent reason. If...

Hi. Why are these not same? I have my custom folders in C:\Users\Me\ and they are not listed in the Me folder rooted at the desktop (the same as in the Start menu). In this one they are not only listed but I can't even create new ones. I have Beta2, is it corrected now? Jan

Hi, I have three hard drives 1 x IDE drive 60GB holding Vista Install and 2 x 250GB SATA drives. Drive E correctly shows the view as all items when opened drive F shows shows the view associated with music i.e. artist etc. Where is the setting to allow the change back to show "all items" the cusomise feature only seems to be associated with folders and not drives. Any ideas.. Regards.

How do I change the drive view to show "all items" not the view associated with music. The feature only seems to be associated with folders under customise. Regards. Martin

Is there any way to show the total file size of all files in a specific folder? I am not talking about right click - Properties. In XP the status bar always showed the size of the all files in that folders when NO file was selected... I really miss that behaviour...

Hi, This seems to be a missing link when you go to the Restore Files in Backup Status and Configuration (boy have you guys hosed this). No advanced mode? Anyways, how can I restore my XP backups (this is a critical path)? Thanks, -- Thomas Goddard MCSD/MCAD .net

Dear Vista team, Looking at the Search window in Vista RC1, I have one suggestion about the caption for the 'Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files (might slow down)' checkbox. From a usability perspective, the last part of the caption can be more confusing than useful. Providing the user with the fact that checking it 'might' slow down the search does not help him/her at all. Simply...

BillyBob, Did you find a solution? If so, can you point those of us in the same situation in the right direction? I am using Beta2 in a dual boot situation. Unfortunately for me, that means every time I boot to Windows XP, I loose all my restore points. At this point, I can't restore to a point BEFORE this situation occured. Thanks,

Windows Vista RC1, german, 32bit, Build 5600 I use very often the parameter /root This is my favorite link: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root,"%UserProfile%\My Documents" Using Windows XP I press to refresh the tree view. Vista cannot show the new name of the folder! For example - New Icon (link): %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root, "C:\Temp"
