How do I do this: Due to company policy, my "Documents" folder gets relocated to a folder on our SBS server. As far as I can tell, my only option if want to include these files in my Vista search index is to make these files offline accessible. When I do this, Vista makes a local copy of the files somewhere under c:\users\myusername\AppData.

I have Vista on my laptop and hate it. I want to add FAVORITES to internet explorer from my desktop. I use to go to my documents and paste it into the favorites file. I cannot find anything like that. I found an Import Favorites tab, but that would only let me do one file at a time. I dont have time to do a few hundred files manually. Any guidance?

Is there a way to stop Vista reordering files every time you change the name of one? I often have to go down a long list of files changing their names to fit our cataloging system (I use Details view). Every time you change one, it moves. This makes the whole process pretty annoying and the use of keyboard shortcuts more difficult. When I change a filename, I want it to stay put. Thanks

I have been able to change photos Date and Time using Windoiws Live Photo Gallery. However, when I look at the photos EXIF attributes in another application I see that "File Date Created" is not changed (but Date/time is) and some programs such as the Wii photo gallery seem to use this "File Created" date and not the updated one. Can anyone advise how to change the original "File Date Created"....

I purchased a font managing program called Extensis Suitcase. The theory of it is that I can keep fonts that are NOT system fonts organized in this "suitcase" so that the 100s of fonts (way too many) that are currently listed under Windows\Fonts do not have to all load every time I start a program. They are held in this "suitcase" and called for on an as needed basis. i.e. I move them...

Hi, On advice from another thread I tried using SyncToy to back up documents to an external hard drive. After one successful go, the next times it only says "exception during run: the File Sync Provider received an unexpected error while applying a synchronised change" and fails to perform the back-up. Any advice, anyone?? Thanks.

I want to do the opposite of what bonv was asking in "Shortcut broken after moving file". We have a list of files that have the revision letter in the file name. When we get a new revision, the file name changes from "File-B.txt" to "File-C.txt", and File-B.txt is moved to an archive folder. However, when we move the file, the shortcut will automatically search for File-B.txt, and...

I've been reading some of the posts about permissions ect...I've had the same issues...sort of. I don't know why but Vista would not let me copy files to a network computer. But I think I solved that one. I was using Kaspersky internet security and believe that the default settings were too high. Since removing it, the problem has gone away. However, I still haven't tried to write to the...

Vista Home Premium When I move or copy a file(s) I get the error message: Windows Host Process (Rundll32) has stopped working - sometimes several times. The files do move or copy ok. Any suggestions as to how to correct?

Over the weekend Windows Search started crashing constantly on my Vista SP1 system. By constantly, I mean that if I let Windows close it, then within one minute it will crash again. My problem is almosty certainly related to Outlook 2007's offline file, as not having Outlook running keeps the crash from happening. I have forced Outlook to recreate the ost by deleting it, and I have forced...

Hi, I have a couple of folders with quite a number of pictures in them and have the folders set to display them as thumbnails. But sadly only the files within the view of explorer get 'loaded' to thumbnails. And quitte slowly too. :( In XP if I scrolled down, explorer would load all graphic files as thumbnails from the bottom of the list all the way up.

I used to be able to find files in My Documents and its subfolders by typing part of the name into the search bar at the top of Windows Explorer. Now when I try to search, it returns no results. I type in part of the name of a file that I can see is in My Documents. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Vista Home Premium. -- C and A Bredt

My windows Vista came with folders like "My Music", "My Pictures", "My Videos", C:\Users\Public\Music C:\Users\Public\Pictures C:\Users\Public\Videos and like an idiot I deleted them. Or I'm not sure. Problem I encountered is when I run SizeMe, it complains "Error opening search on path: C:\Users\Public\Documents\My Music\*.*"

I'm finding the new windows explorer cumbersome When I click on the quick launch icon I get a view that's dificult to navigate I wish to see at the top of the list Desktop My Computer My Documents etc. More like XP so I can get to my drives.

I HAVE to be able to install a program so that there is at least a shortcut available to all users. Since there is not an all users directory anymore does anyone know how to do it? Does one of the new versions of Installshield allow for this kind of configuration? -- O_P
