deleting history by N. Trbl
Once you've deleted all the history, searches, cookies, etc. from the browser window, are they completely erased from your computer? If they're not, where are they stored? How do you completely remove them?

Renaming Files in Windows Vista. by GEM
When I used to rename a big group of files, eg. Photos, on Windows XP, I would select them all and right click rename on the last one and type whatever name I would like for the big group of files and it would automatically rename all the files with an ending numer, eg.

Finding / highlighting searched for text in the preview pane by me
Finding / highlighting searched for text in the preview pane - can you do this? How do you see the text you've searched for in the document in the preview pane? This is basic functionality in most search software, without it preview is pretty useless IMO thanks

See these jpgs for information: There has been an error...
