Hey everybody, this is the second time I can't delete a 0 kb file off my desktop. Vista tells me that it doesn't exist, but it's there on my desktop.

Is Windows Vista updates recommandable before upgrading to Windows 7? Should I just upgrade directly from Windows Vista in the original edition (after a recovery) and without all the other updates to Windows 7 (saving a lot of time), or is it better to do all Vista updates before upgrading to Windows 7?

I think I need to tweek something on my PC (Vista home premium). When trying to open folders/ files from a cd (from a magazine for example) all i get is a load of computer jargon, not an ilustration or what ever it should be. Any ideas please? Thanks MCC

If files are copied (drag'n'dropped) to a CD-R while using Vista, are those files accessible if the CD is put into an XP machine? I've heard of some first-hand accounts where this seems to be the case. Does Vista use a file system on burned CD's or DVD's that XP can't read? If so, does Micro$oft provide a driver for XP to be able to read them?

I've changed the folder icon of several folders. When I move them onto a data CD they remain as I changed them. But when I open the CD on another computer they revert to the old yellow default folder. How do I get them to keep the changes?

I believe I've found a bug in Windows Explorer that I can reproduce reliably. If anyone can get this to a QA engineer in the Vista group at Microsoft, I'd appreciate it. Here's how to reproduce: 1. Open the Windows explorer browser (not Internet Explorer). Set it up so that you that you can see folders in the left-hand tree view panel and files in the right-hand list panel. 2. Create a...

In XP (and previous versions of Windows) I was able to perform a wild-card search of a drive, directory, folder while looking for a specific word. I can not find how to do that in VISTA. How do I search a drive for files with the words "Class I" in a powerpoint file? Thanks

Hi, I've been trying to get this hotfix from Microsoft for about a week now. In the Knowledge Base article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942435/en-us) it says to click a link to submit an online request to obtain the hotfix, but I've done that about three times over the last week and nothing has happened. I'm not so sure that this link is actually working, because the form that is...
