Taming or understanding Vista file manager by
Dr. DOS
Vista Home Premium.
I have a file, call it fred.txt.
I want to locate it. I start at the top of the file
hierarchy (harddrive c: (computer\harddrive C (not
desktop)). As I type into the search window, winexplorer
churns away and produces a "yellow pages" full of files, but
not fred.txt. I know fred exists. In fact, as a test (after
I laboriously find it another way), I can start the search...

Explorer doesn't show thumbnails on networked folder by
iganpo
I keep all my photos on a networked computer. On my Windows Vista Home
Premium computer, I can't get Explorer to display the thumbnails for any
picture. It only displays a generic image icon. If I open a folder on the
local hard drive, it shows the previews fine.
I've made sure that to uncheck "Always show icons, never thumbnails" in
Folder Options. I've applied the folder template...

File Description Missing in Large Folder View by
Radiation
Today the file descriptions went missing from folder view in explorer. I like

it hard to navigate to the files I want. I cannot find any options to turn
the folder names back on in this view. Any help would be appreciated. Here
are some pictures of what I'm talking about.

I want to arrange files in my folder by type by
txacoli
In XP, the option to arrange files by type was always there. In Vista,
it is not. I know that I have to right click and select on of the 680 or
so options for arranging files that are there, but to be honest, I use
Sort by - TYPE soooo often, that I want it to be there all the time.
Is there something I can do to make this a default option, maybe amend
a registry key or something??? It drives...

Change Drive Letters by

Hi, I POSTED an earlier not about collapsing a Partition and redistributing
the disk space to another Partition and also would appreciate help with
Re-lettering these Partitions. I tried to rename a Partition "E" but "E"

I have discovered that my c:\windows directory, and all child folders,
has taken on the appearence of a 'Music' folder.
As the properties window does not support a 'Customize' tab I am
wondering if anyone can instruct me as to how I can reset this to a
'normal' files folder?
Thanks

Inconsistent Partition Data by
Christian Kaiser
I have a Vista 64bit installed in a VMWare VM environment and resized
the harddisk from 35 to 45 GB (35 is definitely too small for Vista
and a few language packs). Then I did start the Management console,
connected to Disk management and extended the volume. This worked well
when I had to extend 25 to 35 GB (I was too optimistic at that time).

When searching for (.doc, .xls or pdf) files from the search window or from

associated with them and cannot be opened by double clicking on the file
shown in the search window. The file can be opened by manually navigating to

Copies made instead of deleting files by
Nadyne Nelson
How do I delete files using Windows Explorer without making copies? I would
also LOVE to have an icon to delete files but haven't been able to find
this, either. I am trying to delete multiple files and VISTA keeps making
copies of those files instead of deleting them. It's very frustrating.
Also, is there any way to stop the Caps Lock from coming on automatically?

Updated exe data moved to Virtual Folder by

Hi
After our software users starting using Vista, we stopped installing data
that was changeable by our software (delphi based) in the program files
folder as per MS instructions. We now have the program exe in program files
but data in

Works a treat.

My laptop runs Vista Home Premium. My Brother MFC-215C Printer runs
