WHat do I do to have all my new folders have a List view rather than having to change it each time a create a folder of open a folder for the first time?

I was stupid enough to open a word document and delete the original content and then I wrote something else instead and accidently hit the save button. The document was of course saved with the old file's title. Now I have lost the copy of the old file and I wonder if anybody could explain me how I can retrieve the old version of the file? -- Kicking

I use Vista Business on a Sony vgn-c150p. If I have a folder named "FolderOne", copy it to a folder named "Copy", and then modify files in "FolderOne", then delete "FolderOne" (because I screwed the project up and want to revert back to the previous state), then rename "Copy" to "FolderOne", "FolderOne" contains the modified files, not the files that were in "Copy". What's up with this?

I notice that if I select a network location for a system folder (Favorites, Documents, Pictures, etc.) it adds those to the Recycle Bin list of protected folders. This is great! Is there a way to manually add other network folders to be protected by the Recycle Bin? I saw back in Vista RC 1, there was a Network tab in the Recycle Bin and you could any folder you wanted.

I have a massive wma and mp3 library on my computer and I just bought my wife an iTouch. I've witnessed her dragging my music files into her iTunes library and I'm not sure if that's removing my music directly from my folders and replacing them with aac files. Is it safe to simply drag wma files from my folder into iTunes? I'm not worried about duplication since I have a large harddrive. I...

I understand the purpose of WinSXS and it's intended solution for DLL. And finding multiple instances of a given DLL there does not surprise me. What did surprise me however, was finding seven different versions of the iexplore.exe Why would there EVER be a need for 7 different versions of this particular EXE or for that matter ANY EXE file? Anyone have any insight as to what Vista is now...

I copied about 200 pictures from a camera memory stick to a DVD-R using Vista on my son's computer. I then took the disk home to my Vista Ultimate pc and tried to copy the pictures from the DVD to my HD but I could not display the pictures. Windows Explorer displays no files on the DVD but it does show about 650Mb of used space on the DVD. Anyone know how I can retrieve these pictures? --...

I downloaded a self extracting file off the internet, but when I unzip the files nothing happens. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? A window pops saying that the files were successfully extracted but nothing else happens. The files do not open. The default location the files were downloaded is my desktop. I need help please.

When asked to recover it receovered in Notepad, but only a small fraction of the actual content opened up and the rest was question marks, numbers and other jibberish. Is there a way to recover...

Hi, using Vista Search I've stumbled across the following trouble. I've indexed the folder C:\CVSRooot, which holds a lot of source code files under version control with CVS. If I select C:\CVSRoot and I search for some word, I see no results, but: 1. window lower left corner display "3 items" (or something like that) meaning the search actually found 3 items, none of which are

Is there no way at all to add a delete button to the toolbar in Windows Explorer? A registry hack, perhaps? This is a major oversight in my opinion.

Dear Folks, I've got three Windows Vista Extended Home Edition issues--they appear to be related but may not be--that are baffling me. The first problem involves the Search Indexer, which has stopped working, and despite my best efforts, cannot be turned back on. The second problem is that I can't seem to complete a Restore session, yet I can create Restore points without any problem. I've tried...

and cannot find any restore points. It took 5 hours last night before the protection dialog box indicated that there were no restore points. I receive the following error in the Applications log: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy Provider COM class with CLSID {65ee1dba-8ff4-4a58-ac1c-3470ee2f376a} . I have tried to use:

I unchecked Read-only radio button for folder, and allow for all sub- folders, and agree to all the admin checks, but when I go back to the folder, its still Read-only. What gives?

Is there a way of doing this in My Computer &/or Windows Explorer? Windows has always shown file sizes, but NOT FOLDER SIZES unles you right click for the pop out menu, then click Properties. This is too time consuming for me. All I want to do is find which folders are using up so much HDD space so I can then go in & delete the culprit files. If Windows won't allow this simple request, is...
