try to access the drive by letter it is not recognised.

disappearing [+] and [-] boxes in Explorer by
Ray[_6_]
I use Explorer in Classic view, with "simple folder view" disabled.
This works fine as long as the cursor is over the folder pane, but when
the folder pane loses focus, all of the {+] and boxes for expanding
and collapsing the tree disappear, leaving gaps in the lines that show
the tree structure. This really looks amateurish, and it's distracting
to have the boxes appear and disappear as...

Issues With Windows Vista Backup by
Mike McCollister[_2_]
I have been using Windows Vista Backup for a while now and just found out
that it does not backup programs. That is fine but I have a number of things
in my c:\users\myName directory such as .bat, .cmd, .reg, .js and some .exe
files that are not getting backed up. Is there some way to force all of
these executables in the c:\users directory to be backed up?
I noticed that the "My Web Sites"...

Can't sync Word documents to USB drive by
Jake
I'm writing a story, and I like to have a copy of my story with me, and
current. To that end, I have this wonderful little USB drive, with more
storage than I'll ever need for Word documents (1G). Problem is, Sync center
won't let me sync it with anything but Windows Media Player, and WMP, while
it can do a great many things, ain't so good at syncing regular files like
Word documents. ...

Greetings, everyone!
Can anyone provide advice on forensic approaches or utilities to try on a

Consistent Folder Views ?? by
ltwally[_6_]
Ok. I'm sick and tired of Vista periodically and randomly changing
folder views on me. One day, Windows Explorer will show c:\temp in a
detail view. The next, it will decide to apply the "Pictures and
Videos" template and it will be in large icons. I won't have changed
anything in the folder. Not a single new, modified or deleted file. It
is by far my greatest annoyance.
I've searched...

allowing me to save the file on the server, which I know is the one I want to
keep. When this happens the options I have a
