I can only see the files in two ways. One is to use the Bulent's to open the file, or use the Vista search to find the file, however in this method, the files are listed as links and not the acutally file. When I click on the link, the file is not there, according to the OS. Any ideas?

Hi there, just got a new PC with Vista, and was disappointed at the new 'expandable'-looking folder thumbnails. Is there a way to make the folder appear flat and with a chosen thumbnail image (like on XP), rather than the fold-out Vista version? Thanks a lot. :) -- pebay

A have a couple of backup cmd files using relative paths. If I double-click on them in Windows Explorer then they run using as the default path the location of the cmd file, which is what I want. This worked fine on XP, but on Vista I have to run the cmd files as administrator for some of the copies to succeed. However, if I right-click on the cmd file and select "run as administrator", it...

I get the error message when double clicing on misc documents within my folders that says "windows cannot find the specified file, please make sure that you have typed the name correctly and please try again." I can open up any document from within the application itself by going to file/open finding the file and opening it that way. It is extremely random though. It only happens on some...

I have my drive partitioned and save all data to Data Drive. when i open windows Explorer it defaults to C:\Username\documents which means i have to scroll and find the partitioned Data drive. Is there some way to change the default opening directory. I have checked for Options or tools and can't find anything that works -- thank you for your help

A file was saved to my Vista desktop. It is a small drawing file (.dwg). About 102 KB in size. I can open it. However, I cannot delte it, copy it, or cut it. If I try to delete it, window pops up and says "RECYCLING 1 item". It churns and churns and churns. Nothing ever happens. I can rename it. Doesn't help with anyting. Is there any hope for me? mbolton40

Hi, i just ran the first Backup via the Wizard in Vista and wondered why it organizes it into folders "Backup files 1", "backup files 2" up to 60 or so. This makes finding info difficult. Whey does it not take my existing structure, e.g. "Documents", "Pictures" , "Videos" etc? Thanks in advance Blackredgold1964

Starting to use Vista and lots of little stuff missing makes navigating a real PITA. 1) how do I get the file dialog common control to remember the size and view I've chosen. every time it's opened again it's back to being too small and in icon view (I use details view). 2) how do I get the http stuff out of the dropdown on file dialogs? 3) how do I move up one level. I only see "back"...

I am not trying to move system files or folders. I am trying to move folders/files I created and copied over from my XP machine. When I check the properties they are read only. So I unswitch them get warned and as soon as I look at them again they are back to read-only. I have admin permissions so not sure what the problem is. I can delete the folders/files but I want to reorganize them....

I have lots of music folders. Most have the correct album art -- though I don't know where it comes from or how it gets displayed -- but some have pictures that have nothing to do with what's in the folder. I have displayed hidden files and there aren't any hidden graphic files in these folders. Also, I have used the properties dialog to change the folder picture file and even though it...

Vista has a lot (hundreds?) of file details fields (e.g. comments, artists, genre, ...). Some of the fields are pretty self explanatory. Some are not. Is there a web site that defines or recommends what each field is intended for? I just bought a bunch of mp3s from amazon, napster, etc. I want to put the name of the store in one of the detail fields so that at a glance I can tell where the...

Hi, I have a executable. When I right click on it, when it is present on XP. I can see tabs and when i click a perticular tab, i can see all the properties.

Well, after unsuccessfully uninstalling a program in windows Vista, I tried to manually delete everything from the program files folder, however, I was denied permission to delete that folder. I tinkered permission settings from this thread ' clicky' (http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html) but was successful. I never knew that I had to restart the system to be able to...

For example, i hate going into windows/system32/drivers/etc/ to edit my hosts file. I went into indexing options, and i added both C: and D: to be indexed. I noticed that C: excluded folders windows and program files, and I removed those from the exclusion. But still whenever I try to search from windows explorer in C: or from the Start Menu, it never finds Hosts. I haven't tried rebuilding the...

I just got a new Vista64 PC last weekend, and I think I discovered a bug while copying my daughters iTunes library from an external drive to the new HD. I have been using drag and drop for years, usually with right clink to confirm actions, so I'm no novice here. I kept having problems when selecting the iTunes folder and dragging on top of the iTunes folder on the destination drive, but...

I haven't check on other forums, I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I got a question regarding in changing a shortcut's target path. An example would be "C:\Users\Sad Panda\Desktop\Contig.exe" into "C:\Users\Sad Panda\Desktop\Contig.exe -s *.* -v"

Hi All, Recently, I copied a large bunch of music files from my mp3 player to my external HDD for backup. The music files on the player were organized as per my needs with ID3 tags for artist, title, genre etc. After copying I found that Vista had replaced the genre tag with something of its own! E.g. a genre that I had created called "World Fusion" was replaced by "Jazz" and "Western Classical"...
