I've recently noticed that whenever you double-click an XPS file, it opens in the default web browser, i.e. Mozilla Firefox. As there is no Firefox plugin the browser than asks you to save the file. Pretty amusing, I thought. On checking the file association, .xps files are associated with "XPS Viewer". Yet they open in Firefox anyway. :-) Workaround is to bind them explicitly to IE, but...

I have a compressed file that is nested(?) 5 times over - meaning I have to click on one file after another five times to reach the information/pictures that I want - and I can't get the compressed file to open because when I click on extract the system says that the "source path too long". How do get this file unzipped so I can view the pictures? Vista tells me "The source file name(s) are...

Hi there, Ive just changed from 32bit to the 64bit OS, and I have noticed that I have 2 Program Folders one has x86 next to it. I take it that this is for 32bit programs and the other for 64bit applications. The question I have is most of the programs are in both folders which means taken up valuable harddrive space, is it advisable to delette the 32bit folder. -- smudger1767

strange problem here folks. i tried installing a program tonight (creation manager 08 for FIFA 08) and it won't run in 64 bit vista or under compatibility mode. OK so i uninstall. NOW there are 2 'CM08' folders in my start menu i can't delete. they have no 'delete' option when i right click, and when i explore or explore all users in the start button, the folders aren't there. is there a hidden...

This is actually two questions that may or not be related, which is why I am posting them both under one topic. Downloaded (from sun.com) the latest SPARC DVD image of the install. 2.47Gb later, Vista wrote the file to the target (a srtiped drive 170Gb in size, SCSI). Now the file will not burn because Nero claims it's not an image file... And that's AFTER it forced me to update to the...

My computer is running very slow and when it comes to using internet it seen's to just stop halfway through loading a page.

If I should post this to another newsgroup, please tell me. I notice that if I select a network location for a system folder (Favorites, Documents, Pictures, etc.) it adds those to the Recycle Bin list of protected folders. This is great! Is there a way to manually add other network folders to be protected by the Recycle Bin? I saw back in Vista RC 1, there was a Network tab in the Recycle Bin...

Vista HP 1. Is there any way to restore/create a New Folder button for Explorer windows... (why on earth did they take it away???) 2. How can I tell Vista to stop adding "- Shortcut" to shortcut names? (aaargh!) 3. Bug? (or oversight!) Shortcut to an image produces an image in the Details pane, but I get "No Preview Available" in the Preview Pane

I am running windows vista and I came across the folder C:\\program files\microsoft intellipoint, which was over 40gbs. I opened the folder to find a clone of my own user folder, complete with all my documents and music. deleting a music file in this intellipoint folder proceeded to delete the file from my user folder. Is this normal? What exactly is going on?
