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?

I'm running Office 2007 Enterprise under Vista Ultimate; when working on a rather large Excel spreadsheet I've noticed that sometimes when I save it, Vista complains that it managed to save, but could reopen due to access share violation (the file is still open, but becomes read-only). I'm advised to close and reopen it in order to enable editing; even than it happens that the file is...

Hi, My Documents folder is a redirected folder and therefore by default, it is always available offline. Why is it that if I edit my Excel file is in 2003 (xls) format, it almost always goes offline and needs to be synchronized manually? (Note that the file really isn't synchronizing as I do not see it change on the server until I do a manual sync).

Hello, how can I exclude the AppData folder from indexing, it contains thousands of files I never need to search for, and I have to hear the hard disk spinning for an hour after installing any program to index its new files in Local and Roaming folders. I tried removing the checkmark besides the folder in the indexing options but somehow it's not active, I can exclude all other folder...

Hi all, is there a way to generally prevent USB drives from indexing? I know how to de/select drives and folders in the advanced properties of the indexing settings. But what i'm missing is a general "Don't" for all possible USB drives, USB-Sticks, CDs, DVDs. In the group policies at "Computer Configuration/Administartive Templates/Windows Components/Search" i couldn't find anything...

It seems that the Users\username\AppData folder, and its subfolders, cannot be removed from the index search options. I wonder if that is only because it is a hidden folder or whether MS had some other reason to determine that that, a,.., junk, just had to be indexed. Certainly there is nothing in there that I would want to find from the Start button search. I mean I use Firefox for...

I have posted before on how to use Robocopy, but I am now getting some where with it. I have one last short question though When copying I want to exclude $RECYCLE.BIN and RECYCLER should I use: robocopy /mir k:\ \\Mybookworld\public\ /XD dirs $RECYCLE.BIN /XD dirs RECYCLER /XN /XO

Im trying to setup a backup in Vista, but I don't want the system to monitor certain locations, such as my download folder and others such as where I have subversion repositories and change too fast and too often. Is that even possible ? -- -- Georgios Kasselakis http://www.kcorax.net

Hi, Is there a way to configure the Vista Explorer (i.e. file explorer) so that when I single-click a folder in the navigation pane (left-most folder tree) it automatically expands one level down? This is the normal behaviour in Win XP but not in Vista. As it is configured now I have to click the little triangle to the left of the folder in order for the folder to expand.

Hi all, earlier we used to have a command such as C:\Windows\explorer.exe /n,/e, and when clicked it would show in the left pane a fully expanded folder, and in the righthand pane all containing files. Also the expanded folder would begin to open just under the roof of the Explorerframe, remember?

When I right click the start Orb and select Explore it opens to C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. How can I make it just come up in C:\? Bob

Does anyone know of a good Freeware Program for file management that would replace Windows Explore? -- This Email is From: DOUG YARNOLD SASS #63314

I use VISTA Business. When I use My Computer - Explore - C:, (from left panel), the folders under C:\ does not show up immediately like XP. It takes long time for the folders to appear on the left panel. How to make the folders appear immediately?

I've turned off the Windows Search service, since I rarely do big searches and don't need to index file content. But when it's turned off, every time I do a search a message appears telling me that "Your searches might be slow because the index is not running". After seeing it a few dozen times, I get the message! Is there any way to disable this annoying feature, short of making it happy...

Couple questions about explorer.exe and what it shows as "Computer". Is there a way to configure "Windows Explorer", which I think is still invoked by "explorer.exe", to open by default in the quasi/pseudo-directory shown in explorer and on desktop as "computer", what previously I think had been shown as "My Computer"? How would I call this up from the command line, including as an/the...

I created a download folder for gigatribe. From gigatribe I can find the folder and its contents, but not through explorer. A similar issue happened with VuePrint, the photo editing/managing software that I use. If I move something to an existing folder I can find the file. If I create a file with VuePrint then it and its contents remain hidden. Any ideas?

I found the following bug in Vista Explorer: I opened a folder with three subfolders holding some video-files. I selected and cut a subfolder and pasted it to another partition on my HDD. While the moving was in progress I selected and cut another subfolder. This subfolder was dimmed and I waited for the first process to complete. When finished the first subfolder disappeared, the second one...
