Easy Media Creator 9 Suite by
rblacher
I honestly can't remember in which newsgroup I trashed Roxio yesterday, but
I'll put the amended info here.
Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 Suite will install, and seems to run fine, with
RC1 Build 5728.
I did so this morning on a system running 64-bit Vista and, although I
haven't gotten around to it yet, a 32-bit system is probably less of a
challenge.
All, er, heck will break loose if you try...

Cannot Drag & Drop a file from Windows Explorer to Command Prompt? by
Sir_Higgins
It's the same thing for me.
I can't open a command prompt windows as admin and drag a programme that i
want to launch with elevated credential as i was doing in XP.
It's also annoying when writing scripts. This feature was usefull to quickly
have the path and filename to copy in scripts.

Thumbnails for Word, Excel, & Powerpoint Files don't display by
Ethan Stone
Hi!
I am using Openoffice to make these files and for some reason files using
the openoffice format, text files, and pdf's all nicely display their
thumbnails.
On the contrary the files that are MS Word, Powerpoint, and Excel compatible
are just showing the regular old openoffice icon.

Please allow CTRL button to work with navigation in Vista!!! by
Josh
I love how in XP, I can double click on a folder while holding down CTRL and
it opens up a NEW widow at that destination. I also love how I can do this
with the UP button in Explorer and it goes up a directory while opening a new
Explorer window.
This ability is GONE in Vista and it frustrates me to no end. PLEASE allow
for the CTRL button to work again. I'd REALLY like to see this work with...

Luther
Hi,
I think there is a problem with search filters in RC2. As Help states
(http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/73106209-6df0-432a-8cb7-df5d8ce02ec61033.mspx),
it is possible to use quotes " " in search box. However, I`m sure it is NOT
working. (on my machine only?)
I have a comparison of search results between Vista search and Windows

Vista: Windows Explorer missing button for navigate up by
Dan Kordik
The UP button seems to have been taken out of Vista because it is no
longer necessary with the revamped explorer. You can now click on any
directory in the current path and be taken there. For example if you
are in the 'Users' directory, you can just click the 'Local Disk'
directory in the address bar and be taken there. Or if you wish, you
can click multiple levels up and be taken straight...

changed in the Program Files folder, but Vista has created a miror copy of
the database in its Virtual Store folder and the changes are made there.

Backup and restore center by
Vastloper
Before I installed Windows Vista RC 2, I made a backup of some files in
Windows XP using it's own backup and restore program. This created a bkf
file. This file isn't recognised, not even with online file extension service
for Windows XP, while it was even made with a Windows XP tool!
I tried to open it with the new Backup and Restore Center to retrieve my

Start Menu Customization by

I used to collapse the Program Folders on my Start Menu so it was more
organized and I would create additional sub-folders as well. I used to just
drag and drop the folders but now I get a message saying that I will have to
give administrative permission to do this. My user account is an
administrator account and I have even tried to log on as the Administrator.
It still doesn't work. I...

Ink Support by
Luke
I am looking to decrease my paper waste and wanted to move towards digital
notes. I noticed however that Onenote doesn't support "ink" which would
allow me to search my notes. From what I understand, that is only supported
under Tablet PC. My hope was to be able to by a pen or digitizer that I can
use with my current Notebook and go that route. Is there a program that I
can download that...

Recursive directory size in O(1) by
yoni
Hello,
I haven't used Vista yet, I'm just curious.
The new auto-indexing-everything concept should allow keeping record of the
recursive size of a directory at all times.
This means potentialy you could just select a directory while in explorer,
and see the size of its entire contents.
Is there something of this sort in vista?

Folder Options by
GIS in Hammond
I know nothing about the new Vista operating system, so this feature could
already exist. I work with a lot of different kinds of data and it would be
really nice to be able to change individual folder colors. Thus, if I wanted
to have a red folder for critical data, green folder for plant and animal
data, brown folder for geology, etc. I can think of many ways this would
enhance my Windows...
