I had a problem with the XPS viewer, but installing and uninstalling the XPS Essentials Pack fixed that. Anyway, I had changed the file association while trying to figure out what was wrong, and doing so stopped XPS thumbnails from being generated. Since there isn't an option to revert the file type to its default settings in Vista, I was wondering if there is a registry key that controls...

Does your Internet Service provider offer you "personal web space" (usually via ftp). Check with their web site or talk to them on the phone as to how to set this up. Once set up, you can upload your files to the ftp site, using Windows Explorer or another ftp client, and your friends can download them via http. "Spaz" wrote in...

Note: ADSL has an upload and a download speed. The upload is quite a lot slower, try divide by 10. How big are the files? What do you mean by slow? Are you comparing with a wired network connection? Typical wired connection speeds currently are 100mbps, that's 100 mega bits per second, roughly divide by 10 for a figure in bytes per second. (Gigabit network cards are coming in). Compare with...

When I delete a folder that contains any content (a remote drive where I store music files) Vista shows the file as being deleted, but a few minutes later it re-appears. If I delete the contents first, it stays deleted. any idea what's going on? The problem seems to apply to nested folders as well as the root directory.

Hi all, I used Windows Complete PC Backup in my Vista Ultimate to backyp my system drive. Now when I want to do a complete PC backup.... my hardware hasn't changed!...... Windows Complete PC Backup automatically pre-selects C and D. C is my system drive and D is not. D is a data drive on which there are no paths required by the system. Worse is that I can't deselect D and that C+D won't fit on...

I usually sync every few days, but then amend their ID tags more frequently. But once the file is loaded, it the tags don't update themselves during the sync.

When I access the documents directory through the start menu, the address bar says " User Documents " I tried to copy a 15GB directory to here, It failed saying I only had 14GB of space. Which I do have 14GB of space on C: but not on E: I have 800GB of space. I verified...

I can’t get Windows Vista Professional to associate my .pdf files with my Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1. This became a problem after I had to completely uninstall and re-install Adobe Acrobat. All my .pdf files are reachable if I open Adobe Acrobat first and within Adobe Acrobat navigate to open the files. I tried re-installing Adobe Acrobat but that didn’t help. I worked with file...

I've noticed what appears to be an interesting quirk with shadow copies. It looks like Vista bases shadow copies on a "maximum space" rather then on a guaranteed minimum available space basis. While reasonable on the surface, there is one problem with this implementation. If you create a file larger then your shadow copy's maximum size, delete it, then recreate the file (potentially a...

This is a simple problem yet very frustrating. I want and set my folder views to "Icons or large Icons" and no matter what I do as soon as I leave any folder the view settings default back to list. List takes too long for me to rapidly seek out what I need. I have checked all relevant settings (That I can think of) and this still keeps happening to all folders on all drives (approx. 1TB of...

I have a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. When I transferred files from my old XP SP2 laptop, initially the PDF's showed as a thumbnail of the file, not as an Adobe icon. Now, all of them show the Adobe icon and not the thumbanil. How do I fix this? I've spent hours looking for and trying different suggestions. I do have the "show icon, never thumbnail" option UNCHECKED; I'm letting...

Hi.. I'm running Vista Home Premium - and my user account is an Admin-account. My folders on my HD keep getting set as write protected - and when I change it ( which is no problem ) - it changes it right back.. It's a problem for some programs, as I keep having to enter licence codes, they don't "stick"

I know i'm being real lazy here but when I save a file to a specific folder I look through the folders, for example, my computer: my pictures: holiday then it saves okay yet when i try and save the next file to the same folder i have to click through them all again. Any ideas how I can do it without having to do all that? I'm running Vista.
