Does DIR normally display hidden files? On my system it does, regardless of the setting in folder options. I have to use the /a-h option to stop that behavior. This seems different from what I remember on my old XP system, and seems to contradict the explanation of the DIR command, which says to use the /ah option to display hidden files. I tried to set the DIRCMD environment variable to...

Running Vista Home Premium 64 bit. When you open a folder there are several columns one of which is "Tags". Is there any way to permanently remove this column from all folders and subfolders or do I have to do this individually for each folder and subfolder? I've checked the folder file in the Control Panel and there does not seem to be a choice that enables you to do this. Thanks, Ellin

My sweety and I take pictures and store them in folders. I label mine like this 2009 09 22. My sweety does 2009-09-22.

Even when I click the more option and get shown a...

I recently purchased a new computer (AMD quad core 64 bit) with Vista Home Premium installed. The included hard drive was a 650 gig unit. After about 2 months of use I discovered the Disk Management tool, I proceeded to break the drive up into smaller partitions. The reported free space on the drive was over 500 gig. It would only allow me to shrink about 30 gig of that to a partition. I assumed...
