Adding tag or rating to picture returns unexpected error 0x88982F5 by casey
When I attempt to add a tag or rating to my photos, I get the message "An unexpected error is preventing the operation" and "Error 0x88982F50". Does anyone have a clue about why this is happening and what I could do to fix it? Vista is getting exceedingly frustrating. So many of its features would be really cool -- if they worked! Thanks for any help. -Casey

Deleting Files by brian199
Ok here is the deal and it is very frustrating. I have full control of the drive (F in this case). Two Accounts, both full control. I am trying to delete my old Norton Anti-Virus and it tells me I need permission to delete the folder and its contents. Once again i have full control of the drive. So i go into the folder and try to delete the files 1 by 1 and it tells me the same thing.

File Deletion/Dual Files When Using Stack By Tags... by roystreet

For instance, the tag is "Gold" & the word doc named, "Golden.docx" is listed twice. Same name, file size, creation date, etc. One of the files, (I'm assuming it's the actual original file) I am able to delete, but...

Does "Restore previous versions" work with CompletePC Backup? by nLinked
If I turn off System Restore on all drives, will "Restore previous versions" still work. If so, does "Restore previous versions" also take previous files and folders from a CompletePC Backup?

Copying CD files to folder, then copy folder to another hard drive, explorer hangs by [email protected]
If I copy files from a CD to a folder and then copy that folder to another hard drive Windows Explorer hangs and doesn't copy the files, or just a few of them. If I reboot and then copy the folder it works fine. My hard drives are all SATA. The CD's contain photo files, aprox. 600 megs on average, up to 25 files or so. Any ideas how to fix this?

Stack By Tag Organizing by roystreet
I'm trying to use file tags more effectively, by depending more on tag stacking than by folder locations. I will open a folder containing many files with multiple tags per file. I organize the files by selecting tags & then "Stack by tags" Each tag acts as a separate folder - Which is great! How can I save or force the icon views to be a certain size every time I open that "Virtual Folder"?...

remove a file type from being indexed by [email protected]
I unchecked a file type "stn" to remove it from indexing and when I went back into that list it was checked again. I did a test with tif and jpeg files. It rechecked the tif file extension but left the jpeg extension unchecked. Any solution to this?
