I'm a XP Pro user that just converted to Vista. I'm having trouble finding all files on C:\ that were modified between certain dates. XP had a very easy search function but Vista is a bit more obtuse. Can someone please tell me how to find files created or modified between specific dates or before or after specific dates? I'm at my wits end -

I'm trying to do just what I said in the title. But for some reason, my computer won't let me. I have a base empty file that I created to replace files I no longer need. Actually, I do that with all file types. I don't want a bunch of files that take up a whole bunch of space on my disk. And I also don't want a bunch of files taking up room after I delete them. Basically I want save one...

I saved files from my C (Vista Business) and D (data) drives to an external G drive. Due to a problem with my Operating System I was forced to do an clean install which I did from Dell Factory partition. When I tried to restore data files from C or Drive specficially .pst and sql databases from Outlook and Business Contact Manager I could see the files using "restore from another computer"...

I have an Excel file on my desktop. Whenever I double-click on it, I get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C:\users\owners\Desktop\eric.sources.xlsx' It doesn't matter if I save it under another name, or even pasting into a new file. I am able to open it by opening Excel first and then using the "open" function.

Hi I cannot access TEMP folder under user profile, or even access any file in that folder. It says the folder is corrupt. I tried to run ccleaner, however that didn't fix it. Could someone please suggest how I can get rid of this folder and start a new one Thanks - Av

Trying to delete a folder that I downloaded from a file-sharing network, and keep getting this message: Destination Folder Access Denied. Reading the posts on the subjects gets me way over my head. I checked the properties and am just not understanding how to change ownership and/or permissions. Any help for a novice? I just upgraded to Vista Home Premium. The folder is a J. Garcia/D.

Hi. I have been XP user of my PC (only me using this PC) with admin. privileges. I have always used two similar installations (one on C:\ and no. two on E:\ (then with the biggest partition in the middle as D:\ for my 'Desktop', 'Favourites', 'Document' and backup)). This has been a very good way for me to always have a total failure free installation to work on (I can delete the...

Only one of these is capable of handling backups large enough to require formatting at least three DVD+RWs. If the list of previous backups is currently empty (for example, because the main...
