Hello, I'm really desperate, I've searched everywhere for a solution to these seemingly "minor" problems, but they impact my ability to enjoy vista incredibly. Thumbnail-Folder: I changed the standard yellow folder icon to a green one, however Folders that preview pictures (which is practically EVERY folder and its grandma) are STILL ugly and yellow, opened with some papers or pics in it.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a small office network and accessing files from an older XP Pro computer. I had problems creating a subdirectory yesterday on the XP file server (Explorer kept hanging) from my Vista computer; today I have missing files. It appears that somehow the bottom half of my subdirectory is missing. The files are numbered, so I have M1 thru M8 for the AutoCAD drawing...

I have my downloads folder right, which every now and then i download something, currently have about 500 files in this folder. The arrangment of it is driving me up the wall cause i cant get it to what i want.

The Microsoft help page says to backup your outlook.pst files to an...

A file was saved to my Vista desktop. It is a small drawing file (.dwg). About 102 KB in size. I can open it. However, I cannot delte it, copy it, or cut it. If I try to delete it, window pops up and says "RECYCLING 1 item". It churns and churns and churns. Nothing ever happens. I can rename it. Doesn't help with anyting. Is there any hope for me? mbolton40

Hi everyone I have a annoyance I was hoping someone has come across before. The Icon that represents my desktop in my profile is the standard windows yellow icon Not the fancy blue aero one like the rest of the folders in my profile.

Fine! This buggs me since Vista was released and it even points back to XP. It is really easy to understand: I open the explorer and browse to C:. I set up my columns as I need them. In particular this is: Name, Filesize, Filetype and Date. I want that to be the default setting for EVERY folder, regardless wheter it is an old one, or I create a new one. I just want EVERY folder to show MY...
