Several times now I have saved documents or printed to the Office Image Writer printer as a means of saving TIF files and found that my documents are NOT stored in Documents where I specified BUT in a virtualized store which holds C \ USERS \ CHRIS \ DOCUMENTS. What's this all about?? I also seemed to have permissions problems to a folder I thought I had created myself, had to redefine...

In Disk Cleanup, which directories is it looking in for temporary files? It found 2GB on my machine, yet a search (advanced search, Location Everywhere, and including non-indexed, hidden, and system files) found only .5GB in all folders with names beginning with "temp". Why won't Disk Cleanup at least show me which files it's about to delete?

I have a lot nested directory (around 15) on a usb 256Mb pen drive, i tried to delete them all from the top one but the count of files somehow goes beyond the real number. Around the 99% done the number amazingly increases doubling so i got this message Deleting (150000 files) 2002022Kb. Then it hangs.

I use Favorites extensively in Explorer to quickly locate files in XP and really miss this feature in Vista. You can add a limited number of favorites in the "Favorite Links" window but the functionality is inferior to the tree version in IE and XP Explorer. -- jpm ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

How do I get a list of all the shadow copy and restore point snapshots on the system, and also a sum of the sizes thereof?

I read in a post that I could delete the windows old file is that true or does it affect something else? The reason I ask is I deleted it then defragged and everything changed on my computer. My sidebar was gone, all my Icons moved to the right hand side of the screen, my verizon EVDO card stopped working and when I attached a second monitor if I opened a file I would get half on my laptop and...

Vista has spiffy new organizational and search capabilities. It can quickly show me all my files with names that begin with a specified string, and it can quickly show me all my files that contain words that start with a specified string. But how do I get it to: Show me all my files with names that contain (not necessarily begin with) a specified string? Show me all my files that contain...

Other notes indicate the problem with the RC1 download file being placed in an unaccessible folder. Normally with Windows folders you can go into security options and add or permit actions on these folders. The group administrators can normally assign to themselves permissions to control ALL files. If nothing else, administrators can take ownership of files and folders and then get on with...

Can I thank you guys for finding me the solution to the download problem a number of us have had with RC1. Pity MS did not take note of your comments and do something about it in Beta 2 release. Can we broadcast your efforts far and wide because this is likely to be a big problem in Vista across the whole wide world of Windows Users. "Kip" wrote: open a new windows explorer window, and type

For some reason I can post a new message but not reply to a comment. Steve thank you for your help I now have the ISO file on a DVD thanks for your help John

I have down loaded the new vista file for RC1. I used the download manager that MS provides. When finished I figured it would store it in my docs because that's where I told it to go. However it did not store in MY docs it stored it he C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\John\Documents 09/19/2006 02:02 PM 3,855,847,424

Can someone please tell me what program (and where to find it under 'Browse') to open GADGET files with. I acidently opened it with notepad so i dont know what the default program to open the files with so it can install.

I tried that and it doesn't seem to work. How do I get it to NOT expand the 'appdata' by default? I want to right click the Start button and hit explore without it showing a list a mile long. I have to collapse the folders just to get to a basic view every single time. e.g. This is what I want c:

hi, wondering if anyone has an idea what is going on. I rearranged some of the programs in my start menu. Since then some programs will show up on search but will not start. The only way to start them is by making a shortcut. SAll of the programs were in the same filder so I am assuming it has something to do with that. The programs include all of the office 2007 suite and adobe acrobat etc...

hi, Yesterday I rearranged the programs under the start menu. Since then all the programs I had moved into one folder (Office) will no longer work. The search function finds them but clicking on them no longer launches the program. Everything else works fine. The shortcuts for these programs on the desktop still work fine. Any ideas?
