Hello, i need to know if there is an easy way (or help with a difficult way) to count how many times a partial filename appears in a folder. for example: in today's folder I have 45 pdf's. I need to know how many of them contain "- 1 -" as part of the filename. Can anyone help? thank you!

Ever since I got rid of 2 trojans that Threatfire found (they came in with an Incredimail installer and a Photoframe Installer) I have to use the installation disc to boot up. If I run checkdisc it says that "no problems have been found". If I take the disc out and boot up, everything seems ok for about an hour and then everything freezes and I can only get out by turning off the power by...

I have looked at other posts in this forum regarding similar problems, but have not successfully delete a file. It is an ISO file located on a secondary drive under several levels of directories. My attempts to delete are given an error that the file is open by another program. I can copy the file to another partition but I cannot rename, delete or move it. I have attempted the following: ...

I hope someone has found a solution to this as it is extremely annoying to me. (BTW this is vista ultimate 32 bit version) I created a folder on my D-drive called "Music and stuff..." (yes the three periods at the end are part of the folder name) This folder I can not access, delete, rename or even look at the permissions (let alone take ownership of it)

I'm a newbie here. I would like to be able to open a few pictures with the file extensions of .mix and .orig.. I don't like 3rd party software on my computer. Is there a program thru Microsoft that will help me? If Microsoft can't help me, I would be willing to download another program. Thanks

I have a large list of photo & video files in a directory. Most have been edited. I want to list them by date taken, so I can make a DVD in Windows DVD Maker. In Explorer I've tried many different filters (date, date taken, date created etc) and none filters by the date the photo was taken. Every file still has that date, as I can find it in Real Player file properties (though the file in Windows...

My documents folder appears to have become shared with another user on my computer. I want to turn this off. Alternatively I would like to turn it off for a sub folder of my documents. I am using Vista Home Premium. When I select Share on the directory, and then try to stop file sharing or remove the other user from being allowed to share, the system thinks about it for a while and then...

This morning, I just started getting a nastygram at startup - "Spooler subsystem app stopped working and was closed". Rebooted, but then CHKDSK ran and made some changes, but the same 'Spooler' message displayed again. CHKDSK may have run on the initial boot, but I missed it. Also ran an Avast scan which found 2 corrupt (missing cluster) files & 1 corrupt Java file. Avast couldn't read any...

Okay, I researched this in RC1 and got some suggestions as to typing path names for files I download that are not visible in my Documents folder (sandbox was mentioned as the culprit). I now have the RTM and still cannot see files I download. How do I set defaults in Vista so it doesn't hide my downloaded files!?

Microsoft offered the Vista SP1 update to me via Automatic Updates a few weeks ago. After reading posts about other folks difficulties with it, I opted to wait. However, I'd like to give it a shot now. Is the install still difficult, or has it been 'fixed'? I recall one (or more) of the MSVP's referring to a link to 'ease the pain' of the update. Problem is, I no longer see it. Can...

How can I do a chkdsk /r? If I try from a command prompt in Vista it tells me Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.

Has anyone else ever found some cryptically-named super super hidden directories/files within $RECYCLE.BIN? I discovered that even empty Recycling Bins contain deleted files. I was using 7-zip's File Browser instead of Explorer which doesn't ever show them. (yes, of course I have it set to show hidden, superhidden, and system files. I also gave myself full rights of $RECYCLE.BIN using the...

Hi, This has got me stumped. My users' home folders are stored on a NetApp filer (cifs). "My Documents" and "Favorites" are redirected and are made available offline. On the filer, oplocks has been set to "on". When a user syncs his offline files from his Windows Vista Enterprise computer, the "view sync results" window displays a lot of errors (Details: "The process cannot access the file...

On Windows Explorer, with Vista, is it possible to have my chosen combination of Details (e.g. File Type, Size, Date Created, Tags, etc.) always be shown? I never use Tags, Ratings, Author, Composer, etc. etc. Instead I always use: Name, Size, File Type, Date Modified. -- animator01
