desktop icons by Gaylin
I've had my new Dell and Vista Home Premium for a couple of weeks. I've carefully arranged about 20 desktop icons in related groupings. But this morning when I turned on the computer, they were all lined up along the left hand side. Can anyone tell me what happened and how to lock them where I want them. I tried "Search" but it didn't help. Thank you. Gaylin

However selecting “Apply to Folders” will not set the width and location of the directory’s fields nor set the size of the window. Perhaps there's another way, or this feature doesn't work, although it...

Location of "Documents" folder - moving to a network drive by Steve Cuddy
I just noticed a strange problem.... if I move the "Documents" folder on my Vista machine to point to my network home directory, it renames my home directory on the server to "Documents" - at least it appears to. Once I start navigating deeper into the structure it calls it the real name which is my username. I tested with a second user whose home directory is in the same root as mine on...

Documents and Settings is not accessible by gkey
Recently started using vista and all is working fine. Just curious though; why does the folder icon for Documents and Settings appear as a shortcut (where is is the real folder)? and why am I being denied access to it when I try to browse it? I'm logged in with an account that is a member of the local administrators group.
