All of the previous versions of Windows supported a "send to" power tool that would allow you to browse where you wanted to copy/move a file to. I can not get the tool to install on Vista. Does anyone know of a similar tool or how I can get this to install?

I can only go as far as C:\users\login name\ that's it... what am I missing or doing wrong by simply adding items to my "Send To" Tab.. I do not have APP...

I think the new Vista "Stack By" feature would be very handy and useful, but the problem is it's practically no use to me, as it seems to show up "old" files. For example if I have some .avi files in a folder, then delete them, the next time I use Stack By type on that folder, the 3 old files show up, even though I deleted them. It's also a pain since I like to Stack By "type", but "type"...

I can successfully establish a sync relationship with the shared folders on my XP desktop. However, when I go offline and make a change to one of those sync'd files on my Vista laptop. then reconnect to my network to sync...

I copied some files to a directory yesterday, modified them, then today I hit ctrl+z and it turns out the last action I did it could undo was copying the files. So it removed them and they don't exist anymore. Is there any way to get them back because all the "undo delete" type utilities seem not to work. So this is a terrible bug, right?

My problem is with the System Restore. When I clicked on a shortcut to System Restore I got: "The ordinal 2 could not be located in the dynamic link library SRRSTR.DLL". However, when I used another method to run System Restore, I found it appears to have created restore points without incident, as numerous Restore Points are present. BUT when I selected a Restore Point, even the oldest...

I am running Vista Home Premium box. When I opened a folder window in the middle of a folder tree in XP I often used the "Up" button at the top of folder window. I miss the "Up" button in vista. I looked and could not find how to set up this feature in vista. Did I miss it? Is there a setting available in vista to give me the same type of Up" button that is in XP? Is there any way to...

If I open the file manager with the /e switch (like...

Hello, I've got a new Vista Enterprise laptop to replace a Vista Business tablet PC, and I'm trying to sync one of our network folders offline.

I think it would be very convenient to have the 'copy/move to..' option on the right-click context menu for files and folders. Nothing to lose by doing this. Only something to gain for those of us who would find it convenient. Please choose 'I agree' if you think so too :) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes....

My Internet Explorer does not 'find' the Favorites. My Favorites fie folder has not moved and contains files but the I.E. does not 'look' in the correct location. How do I tell IE where the folder is. (The error message says it is trying to open a non-existent folder)

'tags' field embedded in metadata When I first got vista I could not wait to tag my files, it's the best feature of the OS in my opinion. However it was important that the data entered stayed latched in the file, as it mostly does, but I had a horrible feelng that all my hard work might be missplaced as the all important 'tag' field was not present in the visible fields of any file under XP....

Machine was XP. Has another drive ('D:'), that drive has a large folder (10GB) named 'x'. Machine upgrade to Vista64. On 'C:' of course, and 'D:' was unaffected, as expected. Few days later - as per business need, renamed the folder from 'x' to 'y' - typical right-click, rename. Seems to have worked, it now appears as 'y'.
