Stored Newsgroup Messages by Gene L.[_2_]
I would like very much to know what the full file path is to locate stored newsgroup messages. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I received some help recently via this newsgroup and was wondering if I can still find the responses I received and read. Many thanks for your help.

Still Can't Delete a file by JoshinBuffalo
I fussed around without success. Then downloaded the freeware Unlocker 1.8.8, and it removed without a problem. Really frustrating that I couldn't find a simple solution. "Justin" wrote: Windows Vista Ultimate 64. I right click and hit delete on a file and I get Item not found This is no longer located in C:\Users\Justin\Downloads verify the items

Copy and replace most recent file by lmvk99
Hi, I want to copy a bunch of docus in my files to a backup space, but I do not simply want to replace all duplicate files with the ones I am copying, I want it to work out which of the 2 files has been changed the most recently and keep that one. I know I can keep a copy of both, but there are just WAY too many files and I don't want to keep copies. Does vista have the ability to do this?

How to prevent a folder from being accidentally deleted? by anh
I have some important files in a folder on my notebook machine and I want to prevent some dork (like me) from accidentally deleting it both on my hard drive and on my backup USB external hard drive. What's the best way to do this? I'm not looking to encrypt the folder or to hide it. I want to still add things to the folder and browse it easily; it's just that I don't want it to be deleted by...

Sync Center by Scott Rymer[_2_]
A sales manager on our network is using Offline Files for a share on SBS. There is 1 specific file that gets updated by both the President of our company (local PC) and the sales manager but the sales manager insists he's not updating the file when disconnected from the network. Even so, the file gets out of sync and they end up arguing about updates to the file. What could be causing the...

Stopping Vista organising my MP3's into folders by Kevin Heneghan
Hi - I wonder if anyone can help me. Last year I bought a new PC with Vista. I had a music folder with about 3,000 MP3's in it, the tracks just being listed alphabetically, by artist. When I copied this folder to my new PC, Vista organised all the tracks into folders according to the artist. This means that instead of having a folder full of tracks, all separate, they're now in a huge number...

She originally had zero bites free but I deleted some unused programs and recovered some space "5GB". Some programs I cannot delete, I believe this is due to the OS not having room to shuffle files. Is...
