File Won't Delete by
Stuart
I had a 12Gb file that had been copied to my Vista x64 machine across the
network. UAC was off yet I was still unable to delete or move it, or even
view its properties! Eventually I had to boot into safe mode with command
prompt and use CACLS.exe to give myself permission to delete my own file
from my own PC.
Is this "working as intended"? Its a real PITA!

Metadata in external file? Avi and .mp4 files by
VistaLover393
Is it possible to put tags into avi and .mp4 files?
I don't think it is, Adobe bridge won't let me attach keywords to these
filetypes.
Also, if you cant add metadata to some file types, is there an option in
vista to use an external file (like picasa uses) for one folder..?
Thanks

How to delete folders from previous install? by
Piotr Wozniacki
Hi,
This has been asked and answered many times, but none of the answers semms

Regedit/Explorer folder tree by
Jeff
Hi,
Is it just me, or didn't the folder tree in regedit expand just by clicking
on a folder, before RTM?
It was like it autoscrolled; now you have to use the bottom scrollbar when
you expand the folder tree?
I swear it did it "automatic"-like; before RTM, but now you have to use the
bottom scrollbar.
Same goes with any folder tree using explorer.
Any confirmation that this little convenience...

Searching within non-indexed files. by
auser
No matter what options I select, I can't seem to get vista to search within
non-indexed files.
I have "always search file names and contents" checked and I am searching
"Everywhere". But vista will not show me files that contain my keyword unless
the file has been indexed.

Create Zip-Folder with password? by
Tommi
Dear colleagues,
I wonder how to create a compressed zip-file with a password in Windows
Vista without any 3rd party software.
In Win-XP we had a menu item in the file menu inside the explorer window but
I miss this menu command in Vista's explorer. I do not see such a command in
the organize menu.
Any help? Thank you.

Searching email in Exchange by
S. Alter
Using Windows Desktop Search on XP allowed me to index all my email accounts
from our corporate Exchange (2003) server and (it then stored the index
localy).
Using Vista Search, this does not seem to be the case. Using 'Indexing
Options' -- Modify -- Microsoft Office Outlook, I only see my primary email
address (i don't see any of my other accounts) and it is grayed out. When I

Search - Windows Mail not Office 2007 Outlook indexed by
stephen
Hi there.
Now that Vista and Office 2007 have been RTM'd, I have installed Windows
Vista and then opened Windows Mail to check a separate issue on a Vista
Newsgroup.
I then installed Office 2007 and connected to our company Exchange Server.
Unfortunately I now find that Vista Search only finds indexed Windows Mail
items and not any Office 2007 Outlook items.

How to register file types for Explorer Preview Pane? by
Portman
I like the idea of the integrated Preview Pane. It's great for text files, so
that you don't need to open Notepad to read every file in a directory.
I would like to "register" many other file types with the same preview
handler. For instance, *.sql, *.cs, *.aspx .... however, I can't for the life
of me figure out how I can associate extensions with preview handlers in
Vista.
Anyone know how?

Created a new folder using Save As Dialog, but it does not show up by
Kathy_MS
Hello
I'm using the Save As Dialog in my .NET application running on Vista. When
i use this dialog to create a new folder and save my file to it, the
application knows where this file is. However, if I use the Window's
Explorer window to then try and view this new folder, it doesn't show up!
Why is this? This seems like a bug in Vista....

"del /s foo*" doesn't work by
Roof Fiddler
What's the command-line command to recursively delete all files and
directories with names beginning with "foo"?
"del /s foo*" doesn't work.
Doing it using the GUI, with Start/Search and searching for "name:foo" and
then selecting all and choosing "delete", doesn't work, because I have
hundreds of such directories, and for each one Vista will grind away on my
disk for a couple minutes and...
