Hi, I'm running Windows vista 64 bit and I have a 600Gb hard drive, I've also brought a 1tb external drive to use for backing up. However within a month Windows Vista has already filled my 1Tb external drive and has now stopped backing up my files (note: it's only file backup not full OS back up) - which is crazy - rather than delete some old backups and overwrite them with a new backup it feels...

Long story short, I'm another one of the dozens of people whose shortcuts and start menu files have turned into unassociated .lnk files. I've looked at several other threads and tried the fix that they point to, namely the .reg fix file. However, whenever I try to merge the file I get an error message that reads: Cannot import C:\lnk_vista.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the...

I downloaded some files from Wikipedia to look at when I'm offline, but I'm getting an error message when I double-click on the file from within Windows Explorer. An error box appears to say: WINDOWS CANNOT FIND 'DRIVE/DIRECTOREY/FILENAME.HTM'. MAKE SURE YOU TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY, AND THEN TRY AGAIN. But behind that box the file opens normally, with all pictures and other elements. The...

Running Windows Vista x64 I'm sure this has been posted many times before... I've tried everything, though. I "reformatted" while protecting all my data...which was left in a folder called "BACKUP". The contents of the folder is Program Files, Program Files (x86), User, and WINDOWS. None of the files are in use. I would like to delete it, as it is hogging 30gb. I have tried taking ownership by...

I have a lot of entries in my right-click menu in Windows Explorer. Is there a way to edit this menu to take out the items I don't use? Thanks for any help/suggestions. -- anh -Jesus loves me but I just want to be friends, so it's kind of awkward.-

My laptop is an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC and my OS is Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 Build 6000. I haven't been able to install SP1. I've done a mirror image of Drive C on an external HD by Acronis. Acronis offers the option of accessing Startup Recovery (through F11) if the OS fails to boot. Is there any danger of a conflict between this and Vista's own startup repair system? Second...

1. I noticed that not all my temporary files were being deleted when I used TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/Browsing History/Delete (all). Why is this so? 2. However, when I tried to find them, in a subfolder of AppData, I couldn't find the AppData folder, even though I checked the box to show hidden folders. Why is this so? 3. Also, why is Vista designed to frustrate us like this?

I want to select a long string of files (for deletion). Vista Help says: --To select a consecutive group of file or folders, click the first item, hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the last item. --To select a consecutive group of files or folders without using the keyboard, drag the mouse pointer to create a selection around the outside of all the items you want to include.
