I have a desktop w/2000 and write HTML into Notepad to create web pages. I frequently load them into folders and copy (send to) them onto floppy's or zip drive and would like to load them onto a flash drive instead and transfer the flash drive to my laptop w/Vista premium. I bought the book "Vista for dummies" and have read it over and over but I haven't a clue how to copy the files over. Why...

Running Vista Home Premium SP2. How can I add ".wmv" to the list?

I just installed Vista 64. Search is working fine and pulls up tif's and doc's etc... However, it is no longer finding contacts from Outlook 2003. Is there some setttings that I need to change? I have already had the index start over from scratch and that didn't solve the problem. Will the 64 bit system just not find 32 bit Outlook files?

How can I look at the top level folder date modified, I can tell any item inside all the sub-folder was updated or created? So the top level folder 'date modified' is the latest date. Current, in Windows, even the inside sub-folder is updated, the top level folder date is not changed. How do I make the top folder's Date Modified reflect the latest modified dates of any items inside the...

I couldn't find a group for Windows 7, so I'm going to post here and see what happens. A lot of our traveling users take advantage of Offline Files and Sync Center found in Windows Vista / 7. Ever since I started rolling out 7 on laptops, I have come across an issue with Offline Files. Example: All users have a network share that is mapped as their H: drive. Upon setup, I always redirect a...

I want to Sort or Group a folder containing *.AVI files by the date the movie clips were taken. I've tried to sort/group by all the date options - and either they don't work or no information shows up in the column. I've Googled and it seems that other people are having the same problem. I wonder if anyone reading this has a solution. PS: I don't know what Stacking is - I haven't gotten that...

Hello, everybody! For a few days, I've had the same, reproducable problem. Whenever I enter certain directories (own pictures,...), Windows Explorer Hangs. After a few seconds, this is recognised by the system and explorer restarted. Is there any way to overcome this? I can open the pictures in the Windows Picture Gallery without problems. My System: Intel-MB, Core 2 Quad 2,4GHz, 2GB...

I was moving a few things and I must have screwed up one of my folders. The "Documents" folder is now missing the "location tab" and although it says it is found under c:\users\xx where it should be, every half an hour or so the system writes a duplicate "Documents" folder to my desktop with the location c:\temp. So I get TWO "Documents" folder, one under the other without any difference...

When I double click a .zip file in Vista, the default action is to Explore the file in the same window. Is there a way to change the default Explore action to Open so that when I double click a .zip file, it opens it in a new window? Thanks --

I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium for 5 days now. I have noticed that when I have a folder with an EPS (Adobe Illustrator) file in it then when I open that folder Windows Explorer will often crash. Even if the folder with the EPS file is on an external harddrive then the window will crash. Sometimes I manage to open the folder, but when I try to delete the EPS file it will say...

You know that dialog box that pops up when you start a download asking if you want to "RUN" or "SAVE" the file? Well there is a little check box on that dialog to ask if you want this question each time. That box got UNCHECKED by accident And I can't find the control to restore it.

I'm trying to learn Vista after many successful years using XP - and the thought process behind this software just doesn't make sense. If BMW came out with a new car like MS designs new software - the steering wheel would be in the back seat and the gas pedal would be in the trunk. So many easy and intuitive features worked so well that you have made so obtuse and counter intuitive. ...

Vista Basic 32bit sp2. I have a DVD/CD rewritable. I've created a slide show using different jpegs on 2 DVDs. The only difference is one dvd is a Sony the other is a Memorex. Both slideshows were created with the same software. But, on the Sony I'm unable to erase or format the disk. Vista tells me the Sony is Write Protected. In fact the right click option to 'Erase Disc' is missing. The other...
