trying to save to "c" with the name Copy Of filename. Not what I want

telling me "A required permission is not held by the client".

Vista explorer missing feature? "filename only" select by
Chewie
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.

Mike
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

Allowing .csv format to open in Notepad by
Terry[_3_]

the company, and am offered 2 formats, .xls (Excel) or .csv (Comma
Delimited), and since I don't have Excel software, I have always opted for
the .csv which would automatically open in Notepad after the download.
Vista doesn't recognize this format, and since it still works in Notepad, I
have to manually open...

huge pain in th a$$ from day one. I have tried all of the recommended

locating a database file by
scook
I have a windows program written using VS 6.0. The program uses a vb front
end to collect/edit data and to print forms. The data is stored in an Access
database which is installed by default in the C:\Program Files\***242
directory. Our program works well on Vista, with one exception: a feature of
our program is the ability to create backups of the most current data added
to the database....
