Disappearing Windows Explorer by
Fahim Farook
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,...

ERROR - explorer.exe using /root - doesn't actulize by
Julius
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 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.

Windows Explorer by
Jerry West
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...

Please make the CTRL button work with Explorer navigation by
Josh
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...

'Copy/Move to.." on context menu by
Marauder
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 :)

Show Compatibility Files for this Directory--Why? by
PepTech
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

Selecting a new target for user folders by
Tom
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!

Stacks dumbed down in RC1 by
Stooovie
I don't like how MS continues to dumb Vista down. First they scaled back
great deal of Virtual Folders prominence in OS. Now, they simplified Stacks
in Explorer, so that their icons do not represent relative volume of its
contents, as it did in earlier builds. That way user had an instant idea how
many items a stack did contain. Now this functionality is lost for no
apparent reason. If...
