I just know I do not like it. The other Vista systems (not 64 bit) do not do this. I navigate windows directories and files with a combination of mouse and keystrokes, Ex: Open explorer, in the directory tree...

Hello, I am trying to free up a bunch of files that I royally stuffed up. I originally attempted to restrict access to a folder tree. When I tried getting access to them using my administrator password, however, I was denied. I am able to take ownership using my Administrator account (takeown /f in the command prompt). But when I give all the accounts and groups Full Control in the security...

Lesson learned the hardway: After accidentally deleting a number of bios settings, and receiving an error message that read: Your Operating Sytem is missing., when simply trying to change the boot sequence order of my OS, I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium with the OS disk and the apps. and drivers from the recovery disks I had made shortly after purchase. I was not aware that running this...
