WHen I try to open these files I get the Compressed (zipped) folders error and a message that WIndows cannot complete the extraction - destination file could not be created. Also extraction error 0x80004005: unspecified error appears. How can I open these...

Hi, I have a new laptop with Vista home premium on it. I can not delete files like I could in XP. Every time I delete a file, a box comes up with a bunch of choices in it. One is "as Administrator" or something like that. Clicking on that a few times deletes the file. I have been unable find out how to make it work like XP. Can anyone tell me how to do this? It would save me a lot of time and...

I am having a terrible experience with getting the "Windows Search" service to start/run. I would greatly appreciate advice/suggestions for finding a "fix" for it. Here are the details so far. Similarities to previously mentioned "Windows Search" service problems: When I attempt to start the "Windows Search" service manually, I get an error message box which says: "Windows could not start...

Hello all, Somewhere there HAS to be a Windows 7 discussion group, but it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere in the Microsoft discussion groups tree. Someone in here may be able to help or at least point me to a Win 7 discussion group. I have just bought 2 identical machines with Win 7 installed. My user account is there on both (libraries documents right click properties) immediately...

I can not associate htm and html files to Front Page 2003. When I try to Open With, point through the files to find FP03 program file, it will not associate with html or htm. It instead changes to an Internet Explorer file. It is strange. I think I need to set all associations back to default for programs and start over. Is there a way to do that? Is there a Microsoft utility to manage...

Hi all I have an Access 2003 app that is set to compact on exit. This fails because the origional directory (a sub directory of Program Files) seems to constantly re-set the Read Only flag. How can I get over this? All my other machines running XP dont suffer from this problem Thank you Fionnbarr Kennedy

Hi, I accidentally left my router unsecured for a couple of hours. I also left my laptop on during this time, connected wirelessly to the unsecured router. My question is, can a hacker in my apartment complex who really wants to, connect to this router and hack into my laptop's hard drive and steal/transfer files? I have not shared any folders.

Hi all; I have a divx reader with hard disk connected by a wireless network to my PC: while I was renaming some folders the network went down and the folders become files, so now are unreadable. Now, when I connect the network drive, in the left column I have 8 folders (instead of the 10 that I had before) and two files of 0kb. Before this problem these two files were two folders...

I want each folder to have a custom view. For general files, it's details view with name, size, date modified. However, sometimes this setting sticks, sometimes it changes to something else with no ryhme or reason (e.g. sometimes it would be grouped by date, with "date taken" column instead of date modified). Some people say this can be fixed with a registry patch, some say it cannot be...

Sorry to post a Windows 7 question in a Vista group, but I assume the issues and answers apply to both. Also, am I missing something, or is there no Windows 7 set of groups here? 1. I've Googled and searched various online forums, and I read Microsoft's page on advanced search syntax and can't seem to find the answer no matter how I frame my question: Is there a "NOT" filter in Windows 7...
