e-mail attachment by
jjm
I sent myself a word document email attachment from another computer to my
vista home computer. After opening it I spent hours working on the document,
hitting the "save" icon, but never saving it as a file.
Now I'm getting the message that there is no path to this document. The
changes I worked on don't seem to be saved anywhere. I hate to lose all the
work. If I hit save, it must be saved...

can RoboCopy copy a Junction but not its contents? by
Tim Mackey
hi.
i've just been reading up on RoboCopy and am considering it as a
partition-level backup tool, especially for moving a windows installation to
a new drive: http://geekswithblogs.net/lorint/archive/2006/12/07/100596.aspx
it seems to have a major deficiency in how it handles junction points. as
far as i know, it either exclude junctions altogether or recursively copy
their contents (in a...

Windows Explorer Scroll Bar by
home_user
I am using Vista Home Premium.
It seems the Windows Explorer in Vista does not have a horizontal scroll bar
anymore. Has Microsoft done away with the horizontal scroll bar for any
particular reason (reasons I would fail to fathom)? If not, how do I get the
horizontal scroll bar to show up again in the Windows Explorer? Having to
scroll back up everytime to look at folders below the...

Extend Partition in Vista by
Mark
I have Vista Premium with a 150 Gb Hard Disc. This was part of a new Dell PC
already partitioned in the expected C:\ drive for the OS and D:\ for
recovery.
I wanted to add another partition and move all my files from the public
directory. However, on shrinking free space I was only able to create a
maximum 20 Gb partition so have not been able to move all of my public files
(I'm about 30 Gb...

Files have turned into Folders by
Websken
I have been sorting out my Music Folder which contains about 700+ files. At
the same time I was transferring some of these files over to iTunes so that I
could put them on my iPod. However, when I went back to my Music Folder, I
found that all the files had been turned into folders, i.e. all songs by the
same artist, say Anastacia, have now been put into a folder named
'Anastacia'. I have...

1. Is there any way to restore/create a New Folder button for Explorer

I want to add Notepad and Wordpad to the list of applications that appears
when I select Send To from the right click menu in Explorer when using VISTA
- Explorer 6.0.6000.16386. In previous versions of Windows I would just add
shortcuts to the SendTo folder, but I cannot find a SendTo folder on my C:

.xps files default to Firefox :-) by
Daniel Noll
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...

Disabling Thumbnail caching by
James L
Back in the XP days, Windows would generate a thumbs.db file to cache your
thumbnails. This was easy enough to stop when I did not want it because
there was a folder option to disable it. Now, in Vista, it seems thumbs.db
is back with a vengeance.
There is a folder on my system that I do constant work in, and often I zip
up this whole folder and feed it to a program (that can read zip...

Windows Explorer - Preview by
Dictionary option/Bob
A recent Microsoft note '8 timesaving tips for Windows Vista and the 2007
Microsoft Office release' pointed me to a way of previewing a file etc,
without actually opening the file. This facility would be very useful to me;
BUT.... when I go to STARTCOMPUTERORGANIZELAYOUT - I should then see an
option for PREVIEW. I don't. Anyone know what the problem is, and how I can
fix it please.
