I would like to completely disable the "Group By" and file grouping in Windows Explorer in Vista. I detest this ill-conceived "feature" .

Hi, In the past few weeks most of the windows will not keep either size and position in the screen, nor will they keep the way they are suppose to be viewed, they were keeping it since I installed Vista.

All the tutorials I've read on how to add items to the Sendto list involve using the sendto option at: %UserProfile%\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Sendto I don't have this folder there. See sendto attached. When I create a sendto folder in Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows, it does not work.

Since reinstalling Vista and having done all the updates and let the index run fully using the defaults, I've discovered an issue which is rather odd. If I do a search for a file from the Start Menu's, Search box, I get 'No items match your search'. If I do the same search from Windows Explorer I find the file immediately! Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi all... I'm having problems with a client running Windows Vista backup. Their external backup drive to which Vista is backing up data is filling up. Is there any way to tell Vista to "groom" the data, removing older data to keep the drive afloat? Or, is there way to have Vista completely reset the entire backup set on a regular schedule? Thank you!

Whenever I look for a file using Vista explore, as soon as the file tree opens, the "user" file is always open.  This takes up a lot of room.  I always have to manually collapse it in order to see all the other files and drives easily.  My question is:  Is there any way that I can make the default that the "user" file is closed when Vista explore opens the file tree? ...

The problem that I am having is that the F Drive is marked as Primary Partition and the E and F Drives as Logical Drives and when I right click on the either the D or E...
