Regedit/Explorer folder tree by Jeff
Hi, Is it just me, or didn't the folder tree in regedit expand just by clicking on a folder, before RTM? It was like it autoscrolled; now you have to use the bottom scrollbar when you expand the folder tree? I swear it did it "automatic"-like; before RTM, but now you have to use the bottom scrollbar. Same goes with any folder tree using explorer. Any confirmation that this little convenience...

Explorer.exe keeps crashing. by Jacen Obscura
Yesterday, I ran into a big problem. When I started my laptop, My Windows Explorer started as normal, then turned itself off. When I restarted it using Task Manager, it started, turned off, started, turned off, then stayed off again. I had only three recent installs: AntiVir, SUPERAntiSpyware (Just uninstalled last night, thinking it was the problem, but it wasn't), and Steam. Can Anyone...

Deleted Folders and Gifs Re-Appear by Blade[_2_]
:( Recently I had the misfortune to place some 'Sexy Smilies' which took the place of standard Smilies. I followed instructions on how to remove these and found the folder where they were located and deleted this. I then emptied the recycle bin. :shock: If I now do a search the deleted folders are still showing and still containing these unwanted files. What is worse is that the original smileys...

Keeping folder sizes constant by David Pilditch
Is there anyway that I can keep folder sizes to remain constant? For example, in my documents folder, I like the folders to be large, however at times they will be small or in list view. Is there anyway to set the size to remain large no matter what? -- David Pilditch

back up Error with SuncToy... by andyalchemist
Hi, On advice from another thread I tried using SyncToy to back up documents to an external hard drive. After one successful go, the next times it only says "exception during run: the File Sync Provider received an unexpected error while applying a synchronised change" and fails to perform the back-up. Any advice, anyone?? Thanks.

File names won't change case when replaced in folder by freewayflyer
In Windows Vista Home Premium, when I copy a file into a folder that has a file with the same name the prompt will come up asking if I want to replace the file. I indicate that I do, but if I'm replacing filename (lowercase) with the newer FileName (each word caps) the newer FileName gets copied into the folder but appears as filename (lowercase). Any way to get it to appear as FileName?

File title author info in Windows Explorer by [email protected]
Many thanks to Richard Urban and dean-dean for your solution to my problem. However, I must have missed something obvious: the solution does not seem working for me. Since I got a new machine, the Adobe Reader is version 8.1.0. But the title and author column are still empty in Windows Explorer for a PDF file with title and author information provided. If I right click the PDF file name and go...

Undeletable folders by carnelain
Hi all, I have a folder in my program files folder called MSN. I did not install this program. In this folder there is an .exe file to install MSN messenger. I don't want to use this program so I tried to delete the folder. Vista asked me for admin rights (which I have). But it won't delete the folder nor the file. It gives me an error telling me I don't have the rights to delete these...

System Configuration utility blocked at Start Up by RODuke41
I note I am not alone with regard to blocked programs -- at Start Up as well as thereafter. But the recommended solutions are not applicable to this one. There is no item in the Start Up list referrencing System Config in order to uncheck it. Even if there were, there are warnings that if not in use at Start Up it may affect other programs. Very perplexing, as well as frustrating! It is...

Personal Files by David Spain
Hello, By a mistake I've erased some folders from my personal profile (downloads, documents, music...) I have nothing important there, but now I want to use them again and... Windows vista doesn't create them now!! even if I reboot the system. What can I do? If I create new folders they doesn't have the same properties (Vista doesn't recognize them as personal folders). Is there any way to...

"Copy as path" quoting by Daniel Noll
I just recently discovered "Copy as path" when holding down shift and right clicking a file or folder. Problem is it turns out that it puts quotes around the path so I often have to manually delete the quotes after pasting the path. I don't suppose there is some way to change the default behaviour. :-) Daniel
