I can't seem to drag my sidebars anymore. While I can get them to move a bit, they pop back up to the top after I release them. They seem to be under some other force. I have no control over them anymore.. Anyone please.. -- Ted Gervais 6233 CR 609 Site 325

Hi there, I've just built a new PC and have installed Vista Ultimate 32bit on to it. I produce music so I have a number of music creation applications installed including Ableton Live 8, Pro Tools etc. I created a folder on my desktop where I was saving all my new projects, samples and completed WAV files. Last night, I copied a bunch on stuff from a USB stick to the desktop

I would like to clear the pathname that appears in the file name dropdown box when I click "save as." I want to clear the "save as" pathname history and cannot find any option in Vista to let me do this. Setting up multiple user accounts is an option, but that seems extreme when all I want to be able to do is clear this history. There must be an option somewhere. I only found an old thread on...

I cant rename a -Computer/Local disk (C: )/user- folder. Help please Im using Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit -- nicolasbv

:cry: I have a serious problem which makes Vista practically unusable on my amd64 machine. Here is an example of it: Having changed my default browser, the .html and .htm file associations had been set to "unknown". Don't ask me why. Trying to set them via the usual mechanisms: "open with" or "file associations" menus does not work because they are populated only with MS programs. All attempts...

I accidentally dragged my C:\images folder (contains year's worth of camera images) up a few folders and Vista 64 Business agreed to move this folder to the new location, but I was still hovering somewhere over the folders in C:, so I released the left mouse button. Windows started to move the folder (From C:\ to C:\ ??). I didn't want this folder moved so I clicked on the cancel that was...

While on the Internet I noticed that at the bottom of my "Favorites" column was a "Picture Folder." I looked at it and then got out of the Internet and checked to see if my Picture folder was still there. It was, so I deleted the folder off my Favorites. Needless to say, the folder apparently completed disappeared!! Needless to say, I am heartsick, and hope that there is a way they can...

Hi, I'm looking at migrating my current vista user, application setting... the whole 9 yards, from one Vista machine to another. How can this be done, easily and efficiently? I have to upgrade 10 Vista machines and I really dont want to spend a week battling with this. Thanks in advance

I just reformatted my comp and reinstalled vista... but I just can't get my start menu search bar back to performing right with this fresh installation. For example, in the past (and I assume this is normal), I could type a program name and hit enter and it'll run the program. Example, msconfig will open up my MSconfig. regedit would open up my registry edit. Now, if I type... regedit , it...

XP had a great desktop search engine and Apple a bad search engine. Vista copied Apples joke of a search engine and now you can only find things that are not lost. I tried to make Vista's search engine work every way I could but its impossible. So I went out and bought Copernic Desktop Search.http://www.copernic.com/ (I do not wsork for them nor get anything from them) and not only does their...

WHERE DO I FIND POP3 INFO?

The column bar which shows Name, Date Modified, Size etc. and allows to increase or remove columns for other items like duration etc. does not appear in many folders. I tried to reset to default, apply to all folders when it does appear but nothing seems to help. How do I get the same back. I cannot change the width of the column to display the full name by double clicking on the edge of the name...

Hi, I installed new machines at a client's location with Vista. Boy, do i regret that choice but that is a whole other story. The owner wanted to be able to search for files 'just like on XP' . I knew the XP machines had google desktop installed. But since Vista comes with it's own indexing toolkit I though: hey, why not use MS's tools for a change? So I setup windows search. Just the fact...

Hi, recently the Folders navigation pane in windows explorer started showing messy vertical dots when expanding the tree view in directories. I've tried lots of things including uninstalling my graphics driver and reinstalling it but it persists. Has anyone seen this before or know how to fix it? This screen capture shows what I mean - notice the vertical dotted lines at the left...
