Is there a way to select a new target for an entire user folder instead of just the document, pictures, music, etc? I'd like to put all my user folders on a second partition so I can reformat without the loss of data. Thanks in advance! -Tom

Okay, I was browsing around Microsoft and saw that RC1 is out. Yay! But the website says to get it, you should check the e-mail you got from Microsoft in Early Sept... Ummm...I got no e-mail. But I WAS a part of the Beta for awhile. Any help? "Jon_Hildrum" wrote: RC1 is release candidate 1 - When released it means your getting very close to the release to manufacturing. It has not...

I use Eudora 7 for email and in previous versions of windows I could open the C:/program files/qualcom/eudora folder and see all my attachment folder, mailboxes, ini files, etc in case I needed to transfer them over to another computer. In WinVista they don't show up automatically. Instead when i open that directory a new menu item appears on the toolbar right between Previous Versions and...

Just wondering if there's any way (most probably via registry I guess) to auto expand the 'more information' panel when transferring files? Thanks

I think it would be very convenient to have the 'copy/move to..' option on the right-click context menu for files and folders. Nothing to lose by doing this. Only something to gain for those of us who would find it convenient. Please choose 'I agree' if you think so too :) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes....

I love how in XP, I can double click on a folder while holding down CTRL and it opens up a NEW widows at that destination. I also love how I can do this with the UP button i Explorer and it goes up a directory while opening a new Explorer window. This ability is GONE in Vista and it frustrates me to no end. PLEASE allow for the CTRL button to work again. I'd REALLY like to see this work with...

I like the old way of launching Windows Explorer in XP. WE was also easy to locate as a shortcut off the Start menu in XP. It seems in Vista it is broken up in sections on the Start Menu, i.e., Documents, Pictures, Music, Games, Computer, etc. Is it possible to revert to the old style of Windows Explorer, where one could open a single WE shortcut and have the entire contents of the hard...

Hi, I am using RC1 build 5600 are file tags only associated with pictures, I thought however tags could be added to any files. Has this feature been dumbed down due to the release schedule or am I missing something more subtle. Martin

Windows Vista RC1, german, 32bit, Build 5600 I use very often the parameter /root This is my favorite link: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root,"%UserProfile%\My Documents" Using Windows XP I press to refresh the tree view. Vista cannot show the new name of the folder! For example - New Icon (link): %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root, "C:\Temp"

Hi, I upgraded to Vista RC1 (32-bit) from XP Home. The installation went fine and everything appears to work correctly except for Windows Explorer. Explorer just will not come up when running in Normal mode - it will flash up for a second and then close again, every time. There is no error message and nothing I can see in te Event Logs either. And Explorer works fine when Vista is in Safe mode,...

....I've noticed about 1/2 the time I go to open a drive to see it's contents the window that opens in explorer shows there's nothing there. This is true whether I double-click on a drive icon or try and access a drive through an application, such as when opening a document from within Word or Photoshop. If I try again in a few minutes it more often than not will show the folder's...
