Hi, this is the story Since I don't have enough storage in the C drive, I designated my Documents folder (the sub-folders which were Pictures, Music, Videos and so forth) into the D drive So in the D drive, you can see all my Documents folder and the sub-folders with the correct icon. However, the time has passed by, and I guess something went wrong.

I have Vista Ultimate performing nightly backups of my files of C:\ to a separate drive (D:\). Its sole purpose is for backups. Unlike the program I used in XP (Sync Toy), the backup center executes successfully, but when I look at D:\, I don't see any of the files that were backed up. Does Vista use some type of hidden partition for its backups? I know the files are being backed up because I...

I uploaded some video files from my digital video camera and when I looked at the individual files, they didn't have any date. I went into the details view, but still no date. When I load the files onto another computer running XP, I see the date. Is this a vista problem or the software.

I inadvertently moved some folders in the tree and need to see what the default tree looks like. Running Vista Premium. I think what moved was "local" but not sure if only that folder and/or others. Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks George

I'm running Office 2007 Enterprise under Vista Ultimate; when working on a rather large Excel spreadsheet I've noticed that sometimes when I save it, Vista complains that it managed to save, but could reopen due to access share violation (the file is still open, but becomes read-only). I'm advised to close and reopen it in order to enable editing; even than it happens that the file is...

I have an external hard disk which I plan to use to back up both my work (XP) and home (Vista) systems. The XP backup went fine (to a .bkf file) but when I try to do a Vista Complete PC Backup I get a message saying "The backup could take up to 57GB of disk space. Because a previous backup exists, all of this space might not be required, and only the differences will be saved." The date...

Old Pgms - I have expensive application software that works on Win 3.1, Win 98, Win ME (all 16bit I think) on a 2000-era Gateway desktop computer. I have the MS ME OS on a FAT32 hard drive there. XP Business Office suite works fine on this MS ME. This desktop is beginning to crater; one of the 2 hard drives already has bad sectors. The monitor which was already originally a refurb is about...

Summary: In Vista Ultimate x64, using CTRL+W to close an Explorer window resets the size/position/type of every folder on the PC. I migrated from Windows XP Pro, where I always use CTRL+W to close Explorer folder windows since the shortcut is easier to type than ALT+F4 and I already use the shortcut frequently to close tabs in my web browser. In Vista, the behavior of CTRL+W is very...

For the first week or so after I installed Vista Ultimate x64, the Indexing Service ran almost continuously. After a few days, Vista complained that it was running out of room on my Drive C:. The index file was taking over 10 GB on that 20 GB volume, crowding out everything else. So, I created a new 20 GB volume (I've got plenty of hard disk space nowadays.) and dedicated it to just the...

I'm out of space on my 120GB backup drive for the file backups and the device backups. I have deleted folders and files on the backup device, but there isn't any documentation on what and where to delete. What I guessed at was so wrong one time that I had to format the disk and start over. Isn't there a directory in the software somewhere where you can selectively purge old backups? Or,...
