Por error eliminé una carpeta que contenÃ*a muhas fotografias y pequeños videos. Cuando di la instruccion de eliminar, el softwre me advirtió que era muy grande lo que queria eliminar y que en consecuencia no habia espacio suficiente en la carpeta de eliminados, razón por la cual los archivos serian eliminados definitivamente. Confundio de carpeta -como estaba- dije que si y ahora me doy...

Hi, Something is continuously creating temp files in my C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp directory. About every minute, a zip file is created named something like Temp1_040528.zip. It contains a bunch of files named something like IM031130.DAT or CD045432.DAT, along with two directories, SUMMARY and LISTS. After a week, my drive fills up. I was running Trend. Removed that and installed...

Hi - I've been using Vista x64 Ultimate for several months and yesterday, upgraded to SP1 (windows update offered it). Now, I've noticed a problem where I cannot open multiple files (using explorer) at the same time if they are of different type. Example 1 : I select a .txt file and a .doc file at the same time (using mouse and ctrl key) - and I hit the enter key. Nothing happens. (if I select...

Hi all, When performing a search in Vista the results show the (thoroughly confusing and useless) "Folder" column. How can I *permanently* set this to the "Folder path" column. It would also be nice to get rid of the 'Author' and 'Tags' columns. Sean.

In XP when you clicked on a folder, at the bottom of the left folder list column you would see how many files are in that folder -- ie: "74 objects" I cannot find out how to do this in Vista. Thanks so much for your help --

Back in good 'ol XP, when you right-click after selecting multiple files, you could go down to "Properties" and see how much space those selected files and folders were taking up. This isn't possible with vista. And there shouldn't be "oh but you need this version of vista" because I have vista ultimate. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the...

Hello, I have Vista installed on my laptop and when I copy and paste files they vanish?? If I have the same file in a folder it will ask to overwrite and if I say yes it copies the file but then it is gone. It does not happen all the time but quite often. There are no error messages displayed. Its like the file just vanishes... Any ideas??

Hi, has anyone noticed that Windows 2008/Vista Windows Explorer doesn't sort file entries correctly? This is how it shows 5 entries, sorted by name: 03001A36.HTM 03001A39.HTM 030014D2.HTM 030017F1.HTM 030017F4.HTM

If I right click and drag a folder to the desktop and create a shortcut, when I click on the shortcut the folder will open with folder selected and expanded in the folder pane. but as soon as I get more than 101 files/directories in the folder it will only be selected, not expanded. Where can I change the number of entries allowed before it decides not expand it?

you know the images that show up on the folder icon itself. i had a picture showing up on my desktop folder icon, that i don't want displayed on my desktop. so , what i want to know is, how do i specify which image it uses?

i want to encrypt a folder but the 'encrypt contents to secure data' isnt highlighted available to select the tick box. Any suggestions on how to be able to select it?

I have found that moving User Files to my D:\ is a simple process if everything works as expected: "Start - Computer - Right Click documents Folder - Properties - Select Locations Tab, Insert a new location etc." This works fine when it works. What do I do if there is No "Locations Tab"? I have moved many files such as a Users Documents, Pictures, Music etc. However, the odd file will not...

I've had Vista a few days and I'm shocked at how tough it is to organize files. MS is poor in general at keeping things that work in one piece but this is ridiculous. I've spent hours trying to put program shortcuts into a folder I created in the start menu. To make matters worse explorer doesn't even display a fraction of the shortcuts and folders in the start menu. Why???. Even worse I'm...

When I move a folder(s) in Vista (Ultimate 32bit and x64) that contains system files such as thumbs.db and choose to have these files moved to the new location along with the other files in the folder, the source folder is not deleted as it should be. An empty folder remains. This occurs as well for any subfolders I might be moving that also contain system files. For example, I move folder...

It just doesn't work. I have a simple text file with a certain word in it. I try to find this text file, but vista won't find it. Windows 2000, linked by network, finds it within a second. I have tried all available options. "include non-indexed" "always search file names and contents" "find partial matches" "include subfolders" etc

I have been trying to delete these two files and the one file is like 882 kb, but it shouldn't take that long to get it from the desktop to the garbage bin!! I tried right-mouse clicking and selecting 'delete', I've used the 'delete' button, and even clicking and dragging the damn file over to the bin, but it doesn't work. I don't like files that are 'there' that cannot be deleted! When I do...

To all: I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Vista SP1. I have many years of WP documents using the "Image on Disk" feature to create my company's stationery on the fly without having to store a copy of the logo & graphics in each document. I used WP's default directory structure when storing the images and documents. Under Vista, it appears to be impossible to create the XP-style...

Hi There, Can anyone assist me? I have just completed the easy transfer of the default files from my old PC to my new PC and I seem to have lost all the new folders and emails in my outlook. These were on the new PC prior to the transfer. Thanks Charles
