Windows Contacts by John Kelly
In Windows Contacts The only menu items I have are "Organiz3", Views" and "Burn". Where are the other buttons (eg Organise Contacts) and how do I get them back? Other explorer windows have buttons specific to their content (eg those containg images have "Slide Show"). If it's of use, the contents of the desktop.ini a

Where did Document Summary Information go ? by Roger Upole
In Win2k and WinXP, there was a Summary property sheet for all file types. However, on Vista it only seems to appear for certain types of multimedia files and structured storage documents. Is there any way to reenable it (short of registering my own property sheet handler) ? Roger

Folder Shortcuts and save/saveas dialogs by Bpfh
Hi, I have a series of folder shortcuts for easy access to a few hidden away folders in My Documents. Under XP (2003, 2000, Me, 98, 95...) , no problems: From any application, select the Desktop, double click on your folder shortcut, and bang, save. Game over. Under Vista, no shortcuts appear in the save/saveas dialogs... You have to

EFS & built-in Search engine by marc ochsenmeier
Hi everybody, it really looks like as if encrypted files and folders (using the Windows built-in Encrypting File System - EFS) are not participating to the items that are searched using the built-in indexing engine. Can anyone please confirm this? Should this be confirmed, then I will use other crypting engine... Best regards, Marc Ochsenmeier

cutom setting for the folder locations by Piotr Wozniacki
Hi, I'm dual-booting the Vista Business x64 with XP Pro (and will for some time, untill most aplications run flawlessly on Vista:). For disk space efficiency, I'd like to keep a Program Files folder in a common place (partition) for both OS'es - how do I do it? Of course, only the Vista's Program Files (X86) should be physically the same as the XP's Program Files... Similarly, I'd like the...

Continuous Disk Thrashing by bvandew
I've been running Vista Business since it was released. The last few days, I have noticed the hard drive is being accessed almost continuously, even with no applications open. There is nothing taking up excess RAM or CPU cycles according to Task Manager. I made a few changes to the indexed locations a few days ago, but nothing drastic (I have since gone back to the default settings). The...

tag field on save dialog box svp by Samuel
The save dialog box has changed, it far more reduced, leaving the thinking to a minimum users can basically click ok doc go to documents folder and images to photos folder etc... However on the dialog box I would like to ee an option field for tags, isn't that blindingly obvious - if you plan to allow user to save anywhere then let them tag file there and then. Otherwise I have to go and...

a question of tags by Samuel
The next version of windows is going to do away with folder, t will go completely virtual. The main reason Vista isn't is probrably complexity and the customer base - they wouldn't understand it. So the intro of tags toward that ideal is doing awy with much of what people like passwording folders and customizing folders. So will Microsoft considder this: 1. Allowing tags to behave like...

The New File Structure ...or how it's recognized. by KennyGK
I have been using Access 2002 to maintain a fairly large database of hyperlinked saved webpage news articles in ...for instance C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\My Documents\My Webs\LHArchive\2007-2-1_PRNewswire_01.mht and Access is able to handle the spaces in the folder titles and still recall the files when clicking on the hyperlink.

Easy Transfer mapping to the wrong drive by Greg Welchans
I am trying to migrate data from an XP unit to my new vista unit. I am using the easy transfer software. My old unit only has a 40 Gig hard drive and the new unit has a 320 gig drive. When I plug in the cables it searches for the data and then tells me the new unit may not have enough storage to complete the transfer. If I click "yes" to continue it eventually shuts down telling me there...

Unable to remove read-only attribute from files and folders by Derek
"Jimmy Brush" wrote: Hello, By default, you only have write access to folders and files that are inside your user directory (c:\users\yourname), some hidden folders, and any folder that you have created. The only time you should need write access to any folders outside of this area is when doing system administration or installing a program.
