I don't care for the way Vista Windows Explorer sometimes displays "Public Documents", and other times it's just "Documents" (possibly over a network). I never know if I should look in the D's or the P's for the folder. I have to look both places. Is there a way to stop this inconsistency and just always display what the folder actually is?

I followed the steps given by Keith in thread (how to fix FFlags for all folder?, #139488) to disable auto arrange in list or detail view in Windows Vista Explorer. It has caused another issue here. Although autosorting does get disabled, if I copy more than four files in that folder, the files does not show up until I close the folder and then reopen it. Even refreshing the page (pressing F5)...

I recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium. I Run Nod32 V3 virus software,but find that it does not scan System restore files. I have taken ownership of the folder and sub files but still cannot scan for malware. I used to use XP pro and had no problems scanning the restore files. The message in the Nod32 log file reads "error opening". Any help with this matter would be most welcome. Thanks --

I posted this on several Vista groups in desperation. I can't get control of my own computer although I'm the only user. I can't understand the complicated directions given to OWN my own PC so I can delete unwanted files downloaded to it in error from a backup external drive. I'm the admin and only user on my Vista comp and can't delete old files I no longer want. How do I delete these...

A file manager and a file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. The most common operations used are create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, attributes, properties, search/find, and permissions. Files are typically displayed in a hierarchy. Some file managers contain features inspired by web browsers, including forward...

there is this small frustration i'm having with Vista's Search option. I am using Vista Home Premium , and there is some time now since some of my programs wouldn't open using this neat method Vista implemented introducing the "Search" field in the Start Menu. This does not happen to all the programs i have installed. It only happens with Microsoft Office and iTunes . In the past, i have...

Sorry if I'm breaking any rules by posting to another group but posted to general a couple of days ago and not a single response. Not sure if initially posted to incorrect group or it's simply that no one can think of any reason as to why the problem occurs. Any help would be much appreciated. Hi all, Just recently I have noticed that when viewing file properties for .sys files the 'details'...

I recenty became the proud new owner of a computer with Windows Vista Home premium edition. Living in this new environment was good at the beginning, but now I believe I have some kind of issue. When I open the "Computer" window and click on my "C" drive to view the "Program" folders I noticed that the "Program files X86" folder is nowhere to be found. It was there when I first brought the...

Office 2003 documents become "Read-Only" while working on them. Once this happens, I have to go to File Save and the "Save As" dialog box will come up instead of the "Save" dialog box and then I have to save the file with a new name. (Office 2003 & Vista Ultimate) The files are being saved to a Windows Home Server. Any ideas why this happens and how I can stop this from occuring?

I use RAID 1 by Gigabyte Mainboard GA-965P-DS3 in Vista x64 Ultimate. Sometime I can't do any thing with RAID drive: modifing and writing. To resolve, I restart computer and go to Safe Mode. After that all ok. Is there any better answer for this problem. Thanks. -- v_hit

There's info about the problem on the internet, saying basically that there's a conflict with Office. The solution suggested was to click on the Mail icon in the control panel. When I do so, I get the message "You need more memory or systems resources. Close some windows and try again." But hardly any resources are being used. I think the problem may have been caused by installing Office 97....

My company use Primavera Project Planner (P3). It is the industry standard, our clients demand it, and there is no way we could change unilaterally. We are also changing over to Vista, in fact most departments have. I am the first in the planning/scheduling department to change - and I am facing a major problem. Like most planners, I export P3 data to spreadsheets, manipulate the data and...

Since buying a new PC with pre-installed Home Premium I have been trying to make a backup copy. Every attempt ends with the same failure. The system event log contains "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume OS_Install." I have run chkdsk several times and it has never found any errors (it always finds 5 unindexed entries...

There are a lot of Microsoft and Adobe programs on my computer. When I click on Start MenuAll Programs , want to be able to organize programs in folders; ie. all the Adobe Programs in a folder. I could do this in XP.

I use Vista Home Premium at home just for personal use. I do not use an extensive file arrangement and was wondering how I can by-pass the "users/Name" after the "C" prompt and go right to the documents. It is a little annoying to go throught all the folder names when I do not use them. Is there a way to do this? I appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thand you Gene L.

Hi, I have Vista Business and Office 2007, both registered. When I try to open a Word doc in Explorer, I always get the error message 'Windows cannot find the file specified. Make sure you have typed the name correctly', and Word starts but with an empty Window. My file path is correct, the default path to my Documents in Word Options is correct, so it's weird. I reinstalled Word with no...

I recently deleted a user account via Control Panel, User Accounts. Later whilst browsing in Windows Explorer I discovered the user's folder was still there in C:\users\usersname. I have adminstrator rights but the system would not let me delete this folder giving the error message that it was open by someone else? Sorry to be a bore if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find...
