I am running Vista Home Premium (SP1) on my box. I discovered the "Searches" folder. It seems to be tracking me. I posted about this before 05-05-08. Bender's kind suggestion did not seem to help. Keith Miller (MVP) gave an explanation of the "Searches" folder. I still do not understand it or how it works. I just wish it were not there. It just seems creepy to me this folder tracking...

I hate the way file names are handled in the save requester in Vista. Example: Using Autodesk Inventor, I have a file I would like to save with the same nomenclature as another file in a particular directory (let's call it a the library). Files saved in the library are difficult to edit by virtue of how the Inventor project is set up so I want to save the file somewhere else. I click on...

Hi, Is there a way to configure the Vista Explorer (i.e. file explorer) so that when I single-click a folder in the navigation pane (left-most folder tree) it automatically expands one level down? This is the normal behaviour in Win XP but not in Vista. As it is configured now I have to click the little triangle to the left of the folder in order for the folder to expand.

Installed COD4. The folder name in start menu was very long so I truncated it (obviously not enough!) Wasn't happy with the way the install went so uninstalled to try again. Could not delete start menu folder. System restore didn't get rid of it (which surprised me) When trying to delete I get a message saying that the folder is no longer in Start Menu/Programs and to find where it really...

Under the Public folder on my Vista machine, I can see the folders Public Downloads, Public Music etc. BUT Public Documents is missing.

Suppose I open "C:\foo\bar"; the Explorer window displays the contents of the "bar" folder. I want to get to the properties of folder "bar". Under XP, I could right-click on the icon in the window title bar and choose "Properties". Voilà, done. The icon has disappeared under Vista, but if you right- click there, you still get the system menu, but a crippled one with just...

"File or folder does not exist" pops up. This is quite frustrating, I have tried everyone's suggestions. They all fail. If...

My only option at present is to delete one file at a time, This is tiresome when I would have many to delete. Does anyone know...
