I've been having problems with some files that are about 215mb each. Now, I've figured out that these files have been somehow "tainted" by the explorer zip extraction process. If I extract it from the ZIP using winrar I don't experience this problem. Normally, I can right-click and select delete. Get the question Are you sure?, click Yes and poof - it's recycled.... Now, these tainted...

Hello Vista has stoped generating new preview tumbnails, for videos. I don't know when or why, is this a known problem, if so is there a fix ?

Hi, you all know the default items in the accessories folder and such right? Well, all of a sudden, Command Prompt disappeared, along with some other items. I think some Ease of Access tools have disappeared too, unless Speech Recognition is the only one, I can't remember. This has happened to me before, and since I'm so OCD about having a perfect Vista installation, I performed a fresh...

I have a number of external drives on my laptop, Lacie USB, PCMCIA Compact Flash, Jump Drive etc. I am always plugging the Lacie USB drive into the same port. However the drive letter is not persistant, using diskmanager I set it to drive F, there is nothing on D or E.

How do I stop Explorer opening a new window when I map a drive? Thanks

In Explorer I click a folder in the left pane and it shows the content in the right pane. If I then press the down arrow on the keyboard to select the next folder, it doesn't display the content of that folder until I press enter. This (pressing enter) wasn't required in XP's Explorer. What setting do I need to change to get the same behaviour as I had in XP? Thanks
