Hello! I hope someone can help! I have asked this question in the Dutch newsgroup and previously in this newsgroup but unfortunately it seems to be a rare problem. However, I have more information now so maybe this helps! When I choose (using Vista) 'stack by name' the shown folders are empty. It shows a-e, f-l, m-r, s-z and also for each folder the number of items found but when I click on...

I want to clean up my desktop by deleting some shortcut icons. Each of the icons contains the directional arrow in the lower left corner. However, when I "right click, delete" on any Shortcut Icon, I am prompted: *Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? *I actually deleted several programs before realizing what I was doing. The wording I was accustomed to in WinXP: *Are...

Hello!, Hope someone can help! I am Dutch and unfortunately there is no Dutch Vista discussion group. Therefore I am using this discussion group. However I am using the Duch version of Vista so I will do my very best to try to translate to english. My apologies for any mistakes! In Vista there are different options to organise the files in a folder: you can choose 'sort' , 'group' and the...

I recently just upgraded to Vista (SP1), and I'm having problems with the folders in the Personal folder. Initially, I wanted to delete them, but they didn't seem to respond. So next I tried to relocate them, starting with the 'Desktop' folder. I changed its location to 'C:\Windows' but all it did was relocate all the files from the 'C:\Windows' folder to the desktop. Now I have all of those...

Hi, I used the Disk Management (Administrative Tools) to Partition a 500G "C" Drive to a C, D, E and F Drive. I decided that I don't need one of the Drives (the F Drive) and want to reallocate the space to the D and E Drives. The problem that I am having is that the F Drive is marked as Primary Partition and the E and F Drives as Logical Drives and when I right click on the either the D or E...

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?

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...

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...
