BillyBob, Did you find a solution? If so, can you point those of us in the same situation in the right direction? I am using Beta2 in a dual boot situation. Unfortunately for me, that means every time I boot to Windows XP, I loose all my restore points. At this point, I can't restore to a point BEFORE this situation occured. Thanks,

Dear Vista team, Looking at the Search window in Vista RC1, I have one suggestion about the caption for the 'Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files (might slow down)' checkbox. From a usability perspective, the last part of the caption can be more confusing than useful. Providing the user with the fact that checking it 'might' slow down the search does not help him/her at all. Simply...

Hi, This seems to be a missing link when you go to the Restore Files in Backup Status and Configuration (boy have you guys hosed this). No advanced mode? Anyways, how can I restore my XP backups (this is a critical path)? Thanks, -- Thomas Goddard MCSD/MCAD .net

Is there any way to show the total file size of all files in a specific folder? I am not talking about right click - Properties. In XP the status bar always showed the size of the all files in that folders when NO file was selected... I really miss that behaviour...

How do I change the drive view to show "all items" not the view associated with music. The feature only seems to be associated with folders under customise. Regards. Martin

Hi, I have three hard drives 1 x IDE drive 60GB holding Vista Install and 2 x 250GB SATA drives. Drive E correctly shows the view as all items when opened drive F shows shows the view associated with music i.e. artist etc. Where is the setting to allow the change back to show "all items" the cusomise feature only seems to be associated with folders and not drives. Any ideas.. Regards.

Any idea why F6 cycle includes the address bar as it should and Shift+F6 does not? The same in IE7. Jan

Please keep using the "My..." nomenclature for My Documents, My Videos, My Picuters, etc. It took me awhile to like that, and one I accepted it, started naming subfolders like My Finances, My Scripts, My Work Projects, etc. As I developer, I even got coworkers to have our ISV application's output work files go into My Documents\My EQuIS Work\ folder by default (where EQuIS is the name...

My explorer ALWAYS crashes if I search images or videos. Of course an automatic report goes off to MS, but I've had nothing back. My reliability monitor has lots of pretty colours as a result.

Hi. Why are these not same? I have my custom folders in C:\Users\Me\ and they are not listed in the Me folder rooted at the desktop (the same as in the Start menu). In this one they are not only listed but I can't even create new ones. I have Beta2, is it corrected now? Jan

I have a PAID license for winzip,so I usually just install that. "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ... Hi, If you disable the native ability to read .zip files, then you won't be able to open them at all. If you want to display them as oridinary files, you need to unzip (decompress) them.

In Vista beta builds Explorer uses the first frame of each video as the thumbnail video. Does anyone know if there are any plans to change this to a little further on, on most videos the first frame is a useless black image. Or detect the first frame when something useful is shown, Cheers

One thing I'm having a lot of problem getting use to is how the location of where the file to be saved is displayed. I guess the whole path thing is the issue in all the folder boxes. When you're browsing it's fine. But when IE pops up a save file dialog it seems a little confusing at first. Perhaps this is just a learning curve now that you don't need to pop up a treeview for the...
