In regards to: "Windows Vista supports the F8 Advanced Boot Option - "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" - that disables load-time signature enforcement for a kernel-mode driver only for the current system session. This setting does not persist across system restarts." Is there any way to permanently disable driver signature enforcement or disable it on particular drivers that I need to...

I want to open Explorer so that only "real" folders and drives are displayed and c: expanded?? Or can someone point to 3rd party software. Thanks James

OK. Been using Vista for some time and I am using a legal version from Technet subscription. It's the Ultimate version. I have a large file in the ..rar format that I have downloaded from newsgroup using Windows Mail. The file is about 325 MB. Every time I try to save the file I get an error message that says: There was an error saving one or more of the attachments. Please check your free...

I have a none critical error which is not a problem as such, but it would be nice to know why this is happening. On some folders (not all the folders) if I set the contents to be shown as an icon (small, medium or large size) the name of the file is not shown. I have taken a screenshot of what I am talking about: http://www.gografix.co.uk/temp/noname.jpg If I set the contents view to tile I can...

Why is copying files sooo slow in Vista? I'm just trying to copy files from a CD to my documents and it's taking forever. Also, unzipping a puny 6 mb .zip file to my documents took 15 minutes! Help!

Is there any way to add a tag to multiple files at once? I have over a thousand pictures that I migrated over without tags, and it would make the process very simple if I could select entire folders to tag. Am I missing a keystroke or shortcut?

Is there a way to view the subfolders of the temporary internet files folder in Vista w/o having to copy it to another location? As far as I know I have selected to view all hidden and system files and for some reason the folder IE uses does not allow for subfolder viewing yet I know the subfolders are there. If you copy it from its current location to say the desktop, then all of a sudden...

After upgrading to Home Premium, the shared folder where all pictures and music was stored has disappeared. Anyone have any idea if it was completely erased? I can't find them in the public folders, or under any other user account. And yes, I didn't back-up before installing because I thought I had everything on two other computers...but I was wrong

Hi, I've got a problem with Vista's file virtualization system. For years I've had my profiles folder (\Users in Vista) moved to another partition on a different disk, in order to make reinstallation and backup easier while improving performance. Yesterday I installed Vista with C:\Users moved to D:\Users (D is my data partition) and all appeared to be working well. However I quickly...

hi all,how can i change size of all icon's in all folders? thank you

I created a newuser. I switched to the new user account and have no problems adding Yahoo to the favorites folder. This user has no admin priveleges. The account with the problem is the administrator. -- DavePieNaples

I am desparate. Three attempts at moving files, settings, pst files, etc. from XP laptop to Vista PC have failed. It does seem that data is transferred, but it is not applied in the new system. No internet settings, no Outlook data files, no nothing! I would like answers or at least advice on who to call - Microsoft (Vista), Dell(PC), or Belkin (cable and software)? Help - day 4 with no...

I can't use Symantec Live Chat. I fill out their screen then IE crashes w/o any errors. It only says Windows is checking for a solution. Any ideas? -- DavePieNaples

Even if I point to the folder where the files from OE6 i located, Win Vista claims that there i no files or folders to import. Transferring files, users and settings from XP gives the same result.. Regards, Kim

i was looking at contructing a complex search that involves searching a particular folder which contains multiple folders beneath it and displaying the last file added in each of those folders. Is this possible?

I need HELP! Is there a way to move all my data to a second hard drive where it will be accessible by both the old RC2 and after I install Vista Home Premium (In a few months) I would like to keep all data i.e. E-mail, downloads, photos, etc separate from the drive that Vista is on . any and all help appreciated. Mike

This is a suggestion: I think it could be very useful to add an option to the index service in Windows Vista that allows the system to index the whole folder tree but not the archives contained in those folders. This way we could jump to any folder in the hard drive just by typing its name in any search box. The only way to do it now is to index the whole drive (folders and archives) which...
