If files are copied (drag'n'dropped) to a CD-R while using Vista, are those files accessible if the CD is put into an XP machine? I've heard of some first-hand accounts where this seems to be the case. Does Vista use a file system on burned CD's or DVD's that XP can't read? If so, does Micro$oft provide a driver for XP to be able to read them?

like many people, i didn't like the auto arrange by "list view" in vista explorer but fortunately i can turn it off by "FFlags" with "00080000" value (thanks to Keith Miller) but i can't make it defaults for newly created folders, i tried the "apply to folders" but with no luck also i tried the "AllFolders" under "bags" with FFlags set to 00080000

Why Microsoft is not supporting to index network locations like in Desktop Search. In Vista you can only index those locations if you set it to "Always Available Offline" because Vista Search is by default indexing the offline files. But what if I dont want to have a copy of those files in my hard drive, just the fast searching capabilities for those network locations. Desktop Search 2 has...

Why searching network locations feature in windows vista is not present. Desktop Search has this great feature. Is there an special package that Microsoft is going to release later for the enterprise? This option is only available if set the folder to be syncronized to my computer, but somtimes you don't want to mantain a copy in your computer, you just want to index that location for fast...

I want to relocate the "public folders" to another hard drive. I like to keep my data folders (user and shares) separate from the OS and programs. How do I relocate the public folders? The location tab does not include the move button. What is the default share for Public folders? I deleted the existing share so I could move the folder and "restore" did not restore the share.

Hello OS: Windows Vista Home I have deleted images that I don't want to be in my computer. However, as I use the Search bar located at the upper right corner, it still displays images that I have removed. Once I click on it, it said "... folder doesn't exist. The file may have been removed or deleted. Do you want to create it."

Greetings, everyone! Can anyone provide advice on forensic approaches or utilities to try on a nuked SD card? Or suggest the best forums to cross-post in? In the middle of installing a multiboot of Server x64 RC2 and Vista x64 SP1 RC, I began encountering BSODs on shutdown of Vista. On reboot, Autochk began to hang in Vista, and even on the occasions I could get into a Safe Mode boot, the...

Hi folks, This afternoon I installed MS Office 2007 Ultimate (using a custom install, so that several apps are installed on first opening, and Visio Viewer is not installed). I haven't gotten around to installing SP1 yet today, and no other Office hotfixes installed yet. Until now I had been looking at DOCs with WordPad, so I opened the change default programs window, and went to "Associate...

This is a reposting of an identical message just below, using a more appropriate subject line, which will be useful for archive searches.

Dear everyone, If any of you find the default folder structure in the Start Menu of Vista / Server 2008 to be exceedingly clunky and mind-numbing and have tried to customize it into something sleeker, you may have run into problems. Some folder you've changed the names of recreate new versions of their former selves: Other folders when renamed no longer allow the icons to point where they...

Dear Forum, I am reposting these test results under a much clearer thread title, so that people who come trawling the search results with a file recovery need will spot this info more readily.

IT IS ALSO HAPPENING WHEN YOU TRY TO DELETA A EXE FILE. I CREATE A EXE FILE FROM MY MACROMEDIA FLASH SOFTWARE AND I CANNOT DELETE ANY OF THE FILES THAT I CREATED FROM FLASH. THEY ARE PROJECTORS FILES BUT WITH THE EXE EXTENSION AND IT SEEMS VISTA IS CONTROLLING WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR FILES. I DEACTIVATED THE UAC AND CHECK TWICE THAT I HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE FILE BUT STILL CANNOT DELETE IT....
