Save using browse by
Avery Tom Deacon Harry[_2_]
I said on another post "A simple lesson in life that Microsoft seem to have
difficulty learning is "if it aint broke then don't fix it"".
When downloading a file from the net you can no longer Browse to where the
file is to go. I realise that one can still get to a sort of Browse mechanism
but only in a round about way, not directly.

Start Menu Resets Back To Alphabetical Order by
Sabre24
I like to place the programs listed in the start menu in a certain order.
Windows Vista will allow me to rearrange the order, however if I re-start
the PC, install something new or install an update, the start menu order goes
back to alphabetical. The setting for alphabetical listing remains
un-ticked. I am running Windows Home Premium 32 Bit with all updates
applied. Can someone help me...

How to Create List of Linked Files by
ncprius
I have more than 3K files (jpgs mostly) linked to many individual scrapbooks
in a genealogy software program. I would like to create a list of what files
are linked to what individuals (for disaster recovery purposes). Does Vista

Shared folders - how to disable by
Mulroy
I don't know how this happened as I did NOT change or alter any settings. I
did surf the net yesterday.
Whenever I cut a folder and paste it elsewhere, it puts the two people
shared icon on it. When I hit the folder properties, it states that the
folder is not shared. When I go to delete the folder, it says it IS shared
and when I try to delete it, it locks up.
I do not want any of this...
