I have somehow maneged to link two of my shellfolders together. Therefore I now have two Music folders and no Documents folder. I can of course change the name and have two Documents folder and no music folder. Every change I make to one of them appears in the other. If I delete theme they reappear after restarting or logging out. Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong and how to fix it? Thank...

I'm in the process of transferring my Hi8 video tapes to my PC for safe keeping. The one drawback I see with the Hi8 tapes is that if the camcorder dies, so does my playback mechanism. To get the highest quality I'm creating AVI files, and each tape is approximately 13 GB of data. I'm capturing in segments around 3.3 GB each. Needless to say, I've filled most my PC drive space, including...

Hi, Could anybody help me find out how to stop showing my 'communications' section when i search for other documents?

I have Vista on two of my computers and for the most part like the new OS. The only thing I do not like are the style of folders in Vista. I liked the folders in XP because you could see what was in the folder by the small icons on the front of the folders. I have thousands of embroidery designs on my computers and find the new Vista versions not pratical. Is there any way to change back...

"KevinD" wrote in message ... I agree, I would absolutely NEVER go back to XP. My company deals with Banks as our Customers and the more progressive institutions are starting to migrate. Then there are those still trying to limp along on Win 98 / 2000. Man I hate that! Personally Vista has opened a world of...

When I logged on to my computer this morning, my desktop was black, I wasn't able to change it to a picture, all my desktop icons were missing, and my Windows theme was changed from Basic to Aero. I decided that my computer had probably auto-restored to an ancient restore point for some reason, and figured I might as well add all my desktop icons back to their places. I found the file...

Every time I do a Search, Advanced in Vista, I receive the following error message box: "Compressed (Zipped) Folders" "Please insert the last disk of the Multi-Volume set and click OK to continue." I have tried to search for solutions through microsoft.com and the internet and have come up empty. Also, I notice this is happening on another computer I am using that is running Vista Home...

HI The advance seacrh seem to have less option. Under XP we had the possibility to search inside document. Is their any tool that could enhance the search criteria other than Name; Tag. Author? So far i have better result using copernic then the serahc tool of vista.

Hi, I have the Details Pane switched on when looking through folders. I have it's height set to small, and under this view, the bit rate of mp3's is not shown. I was wondering if it was possible to customise what properties tags the Details Pane shows for a file. When the pane is set to small, genre and rating (two tags I never use) are shown for mp3's, but bit rate isn't. Is there a way...

I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example: 1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled). 2. There...

Defender alerts me that it is blocking some start-up programs (little yellow speech-bubble in sys-tray says "Click here to see which programs are being blocked"). When I click the alert it opens Defender, but there is no indication of which program has been blocked. How can I find out? thanks M

Hi, I'm finding the Vista is routinely corrupting its URL's found in its Favorites folder. These URL's are for Virtual Server 2005 and therefore when they are selected with IE, they are continuously updated (presumably by IIS or VS). The Favorites are redirected to an HDD on the Windows 2003 server. The damaged URL file will have the correct byte size, but all the data within will be...

I have numerous files (Excel format mostly (Office 2007)) that I copied over from a PC running XP Professional. Whenever I update one and then try to save I get a popup that it is trying to save to "c" with the name Copy Of filename. Not what I want but figure I can always rename it, but when I click Save I get a popup telling me "A required permission is not held by the client". I am the only...

Firstly let me assure you that I love the way Vista looks and, with the exception of the ridiculously intrusive UAC, the way it works. I'm not so enamoured with the redesign of Explorer, though. Please could someone tell me how to disable full-row selct in detail view. I find it very frustrating having to widen windows enough to begin a click-drag from white space.

Hi, my vista Home Premium has yet again got the index/search not working. Start/Control panel/ Index Options, gives me a dialogue box that says the index is not running and all the other functions are greyed out. I have had this before and found that I had to reinstall Vista (a fix was expected early 08) I believe it is being caused by my external hard drive being removed and the drive no...
