I'd like to set up an account with a profile which has a home folder on a different partition -- not in c:\users. I've tried changing the Home folder "local path" location in Computer Management Local Users and Groups Users (accountname) Properties Profile. So this does create a set of folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) in the specified location. However, When you...

I created three files home exercise 1.jpg, exercise .jpg, exercise 3.jpg in Public/Physical Therapy. When I searched for execise in Public none of them showed up. When I searched for home only home execise 2.jpg showed up. I am using Vista Home premium. The folder is index including both file name and contents. Any idea why something like thiw would happen? Thanks, Chas

Vista Ultimate (and probably all the other versions of Vista) have a bizarre idea of how address bar navigation should be. It doesn't follow established search metaphors found in web pages, Mac systems, Linux systems, and all of the previous Windows systems. To say the least, it is not intuitive. Furthermore, it doesn't allow customization to revert back to the XP-style address bar. Vista...

Hi, Anyone know what's up with the never-ending AppData folder's (as pointed out in another post in Vista general)???? This is causing my AV SERIOUS lag time;not to mention;taking up resources. One check of a scan produced this: C:\Documents and...

Find files and folders date modified etc. This worked in XP has been scrapped in vista WHY?

Hello Mike, I am trying to find out the answer to the same question. Alt-UP works, but there must be a mouse button too. Very strange it is gone. I also find the new folder view less easy to see at a glance what level/folder you are viewing... Levels should be indented more. Mark.

I have Vista w/SP1 installed on two machines and have seen this "file search is completely broken" problem on each. This is so incredibly weird and stupid, and I'm very ****ed that Vista won't even produce results for a simple file search. So, I'm in Vista and the little search box at top right is present on any directory I browse of course. I'm trying to find a file that's in a directory, a...

HELP - can anyone tell me how to format a CD-RW so I can create, save, edit and reuse files on a CD-RW? I have tried following steps on disk management but cannot format. I need to reuse CD-RWs and all files saved are Read-Only files on the CD-RW. HELP!!!!

When I double click a .zip file in Vista, the default action is to Explore the file in the same window. Is there a way to change the default Explore action to Open so that when I double click a .zip file, it opens it in a new window? Thanks --

Greetings, everyone! Can anyone provide advice on forensic approaches or utilities to try on a nuked SD card? Or suggest the best forums to cross-post in? In the middle of installing a multiboot of Server x64 RC2 and Vista x64 SP1 RC, I began encountering BSODs on shutdown of Vista. On reboot, Autochk began to hang in Vista, and even on the occasions I could get into a Safe Mode boot, the...

Dear Forum, I am reposting these test results under a much clearer thread title, so that people who come trawling the search results with a file recovery need will spot this info more readily. The original problem was he http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management&sloc=en-us&mid=90f5985a-07be-4579-ac68-ec15029e9f3d As...

okay here is my sad sad story. i e-mailed myself my essay and when i was opening it, i was asked if i wanted to open or save. i clicked open. then i finished my whole paper, and clicked the X button. then microsoft word asked me if i wanted to save or cancel and automatically, without thinking, i just clicked the save button. so somewhere in my computer...my essay has got to be saved, right?...

Ok, I have searched the Internet to no avail. Also I have searched these forums to no avail. Under windows XP, I could move the entire "My Documents" folder and have it point to a different location. An example would be D:/Docs/. Where D is an entirely differnet HDD. Bring up explorer in Vista using Win+E. I have tried to right click to bring up the properties of the user folder

Why Microsoft is not supporting to index network locations like in Desktop Search. In Vista you can only index those locations if you set it to "Always Available Offline" because Vista Search is by default indexing the offline files. But what if I dont want to have a copy of those files in my hard drive, just the fast searching capabilities for those network locations. Desktop Search 2 has...

Working in Vista Business. Never happened before. Is there some fix? Thanks in advance. Russel

Whenever i save a file from the internet it saves to the "Documents" folder instead of thre "Downloads" folder even when the file i am saving is not a document. Is there anywhere in Vista Home Premium that i can alter the default save destination ?

I have noticed several times, that search under Vista is not functioning properly. For instance, searching all hard drives for *.jpg files did not found any pictures from Users/username/Pictures folder. The search itself has limited functionality: it is not possible to search files created from date to date, I can not find any options how to set search pane to be always with advanced search...

I recently torrent a file which seems to be missing from my pc. One of the solution proposed by some of the older forum thread includes selecting compatibility files. I'm not sure what they meant by compatibility files? I'm using vista x64 and I checked everywhere but I can't seem to find what they are talking about. some sources says it might be in the temporary internet folders. my folder...
