Hi all, When I try to navigate to a certain file by double clicking my way there I find that Vista seems to take foreever to access the files. I see to prgress bar doing really slow and wjen I click the prgress box the file transfer speed is really slow (6k) the same applies to cutting and pasting. Has anyone else had this and is there a solution? Thanks

Hi, So I've been struggling to get Web Folders working in Explorer. The behavior that its exhibiting is really strange, and I'm wondering if other people see this or if there's something wrong with my installation/configuration. The following happens when adding either an FPSE site or a Sharepoint site: * After adding the site using Add Network Location, a site folder is added to the root...

If you look at this site ( http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/foreveryone/sidebar.mspx ) you see a picture of a desktop and then also the sidebar. What I cant seem to figure out how to add to my sidebar is how they got the recycle bin there, that box with 4 icons (notepad, paint, a deck of cards and a post it block) or the email thingy with a number 9 on it. Can anyone please...

Does anyone know what is the .gadget extension is associated with? Or another way to install .gadgets? Thanks.

In Windows XP, I would always change the icon for all my file types (.doc, ..exe, etc), to an icon that I would remember. It helped me stay organized, and alerted me if some extra program I didn't recognize got installed. However, I can't figure out how to change the file type icon in Vista RTM. In XP, it was Folder Options, File Type. Does anyone know?

The computer is not asking you if you want the program to run; it is asking you if you want to give that program COMPLETE control over your computer.

In XP, I often checked the contents of profile folders (application data, local settings, temporary internet, etc.) for the existence of spyware and things I could delete. But when I turn on the option to view hidden files in Vista, I've found I get "Access Denied" whenever I try to open any of the folders in the C:\users\MyUserName directory. Is there anyway to browse these without...

I've recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my network, in which domain and file and print services are provided by a Windows 2003 R2 server. I'm looking to encrypt a number of files on the network using EFS, but I'm getting errors on attempting to do so. While I can encrypt files on the local disk without problems either through Windows Explorer or the cipher command, it works...

I tried to change the file folder icon and somehow all cile folder icons now open a search window. Does anyone know how to change the file folder comand. From MY douments window I went into tools then folder options and I clicked on file types. I think I messed things up here. Any suggestions.

With XP I have a collection of extra folder icons to organise my stuff. They include coloured icons as well as lot of different graphical ones. e.g. http://www.iconaholic.com/images/downloads/icons/xp-folders/xp-folders-previews.jpg I was wondering if anybody has made scalable Vista folder icons yet? Cheers

All, I know before it was very easy to change the targeting of the "my documents" shortcut on the desktop. Now, there doesn't seem to be a right click option. When I open the folder it takes me to what I can only call my user root. I want to redirect it to "documents". Any suggestions or ideas?

I was using an aplication, that actually downloads files from another system. I can download that file only onto -- C:/Users/Administrator/My Documents/ if I login as an administrator. When i try to download a file into any other place or C drive as such, i get an error saying "Error Writing File"... Does anyone know anythign about it?? Also, the files i download are not been seeen in the...

Thank you for the explanation. However, I don't see why if access is allowed to the target of a junction, access isn't allowed to the junction (I can traverse "c:\users," so why can't I traverse "c:\documents and settings," which is a junction to c:\users?). On a related point, in trying to move the Documents folder ("Personal" in regedit) using the properties option to move it, I noticed...

I need to move my all files (document,picture,etc...) form C to D partition. i know i can move them in windows xp sp2. but in Vista i do not know. thanks

This thing happend second time, on another new account. After perfectly customizing my personal folders view and settings, everything worked fine until I checked "Show hidden files". My system files started to look like "Pictures and Video" folder - on the root of C: i have detailed view and "Play all" button (yea, play me some config files). I can't customize system partition like other...

I like the More Information view while Copying / Deleting / Doing anything with files. However I cant find an option to have it showing More Information by default. I click the slider every time I copy something (if it gives me enough time) so it seems stupid to not have it as default. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
