Running Vista Enterprise on a Toshiba M7. The tablet is a member of our
domain. Configured documents and pictures folder to relocate on server.
Configured each for offline always available.
Between the two folders, the number of files is roughly 10,000. After the
initial sync (verified in the sync center) and index (verified in the index
options), seemed to perform well; however, after...

Can not delete old vista installation on other partion by
Jakob Nielsen
When I was still running xp, but wanted to try out vista business, I
installed it on an extra partion where I could play with it.
Now I have changed entirely to vista and have it installed on my primary
partion and want to delete the old copy on the data partion... problem is
that I can't.
When I go to delete the windows folder, it fails, telling me the files are
write protected. When I try...

Vista Start Menu Options by

In Vista, StartAll Programs - I get no "sort by name" option. Also I have
not seen an option yet for "highlight recently installed programs" as was
available in XP. Other than that I think Vista is superb from what I have
explored so far...

Boycott Vista by
x1a4
http://badvista.fsf.org/
“Vista is an upsell masquerading as an upgrade. It is an overall
regression when you look at the most important aspect of owning and
using a computer: your control over what it does. Obviously MS Windows
is already proprietary and very restrictive, and *well worth rejecting*.
But the new *'features' in Vista are a Trojan Horse* to smuggle in even
more restrictions....

Change location of "Public" folder? by
Boris
Hi,
I would like to be able to change the location of everything contained in
C:\Users\Public to, let's say, D:\Public
Right-clicking, for example, the folder "Public Documents" in Explorer
presents a "Location" tab that shows me where that folder is located, but
does not give me an option to change that location (as it did with the
user-level "Documents" folder).

List of Temporary Files by

Thought I'd create a list of where Vista stores its temporary files. So far
I've got:
C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Users\SomeUser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Windows\Temp
Any other links appreciated!

Backup And Restore Centre, to a network drive by
Mark Gillespie
Hi, I am trying to use RTM Backup Centre to backup files to a network
drive (in a workgroup).
However, for some reason it's not working. The only thing worth
mentioning, is the server is a Samba server. I can access the folder I
want using explorer, read, write, delete, create files and directories
without any problem, however the backup centre insists on prompting for a ...

We have an application that runs as a stand alone application and also a

Is there any way to bring back the '..' folder in Windows Explorer? Having
to drag the mouse halfway across my desk to hit the back button (which is
not really what I wanted to do anyway) is becoming a real pain.

CD burning hangs by
Peter Meinl
I tried to burn a CD with some mp3 files on a Plextor PX-760A SATA burner
using Viste X86 RTM.
Vista seems to format the CD OK. After dropping the files the green progess
bar in the address bar progresses slower and slower. Even when I let it run
for hours the burning does not complete. I tried using CD-R and CD-RW.
The cancel dialog hangs. When I end it using task manager Vista Explorer...

the bottom, but what I want is exactly the opposite - Folders pane full-size

Can't select multiple files in the default Download folder by

I am having the same problem with Vista build 6000. The OS installed with no
problems, but then over the past two weeks it has become impossible to select
multiple files. The "Select All" feature is disabled. The registry changes
did not seem to work for me. Has anyone found a solution to restoring
