I have had Vista Home Premium for about 2 months. All of a sudden, files in Documents are disappearing. I told Vista to show hidden files, even though none of these were hidden. No change. The files still exist. I can open a local web with Expression Web link, work on it, save it and open it again. But it does not show in Documents. Nothing shows up in search results either. It is as...

I'm having some confusion with Vista. When I move a folder(s) from one hard drive to another I notice all the directories are still on the source drive. Every folder has no files but why do they remain in the first place? Confused in St. Louis

I made the mistake of removing a memory stick from a USB port while the computer was either reading or writing something on the drive. Now the computer won't read the drive. It doesn't exist, as far as the computer is concerned. I have rebooted a few times, both with and without the memory stick. No luck.

Hello Help with "GREP" and VISTA I have used several of the grep utilities that are shareware and they seem to have the same issues. When searching a specific file or for *.log these programs only read the shadow copy of the file. I think I can turn off the Shadow Copy and It should work fine. But I like that feature for dealing with logs. Is there a way to force

Is it possible to create a user-defined field that will allow me to custom-sort my picture directories? I've got lots of photos and videos of my daughter (yeah, I'm an obnoxious dad) and it would be nice to be able to sort and use the list in the order they were taken. The camera numbers the files properly, but puts a different three character title on the file depending on whether it's a picture...

I didn't hear any response from my last post on offline files. It seems that because offline files in Window Vista doesn't work the way it should, I'm stuck looking for another solution. Does anyone know of any other application that provides similar functionality? Mike B.

I have already backup once, as noted by the "Last backup:" information, but I had to format the ext USB drive containing the backup image.

Long story short. Went to Empty Recycle Bin, hit "Delete" by accident. (Why there is a delete button for the Recycle Bin I have no clue.) Think "crap". Being a Mac user primarily there is no such thing as being able to delete your Recycle Bin. Look in properties on the Desktop to figure out how to bring it back, see Previous Versions tab. Think, "Ah!". Hit the previous versions tab and...
