shell extension: How to use IThumbnailProvider in Windows vista! by jinxin
I will implement IThumbnailProvider in my ATL project. And in the rgs file, i set the key value{MY GUID} in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxx\shellex\{e357fccd-a995-4576-b01f-234630154e96}, and I implemented IInitializeWithStream::Initialize() and IThumbnailProvider::GetThumbnail().

Unable to locate web-bank certificate file by Michael
I recently signed up to web-banking. This requires a .P12-certificate file to be stored on my hardrive at a location of my choice. I configured it to be stored in c:\users\username\documents. The banking works fine and reports the file located in the chosen directory. However, the file itself can't be located anywhere on the harddrive including "virtualstore" or "temp" folders. Very...

Locked out of My Music by JackS_77
Hi, I have upgraded to Vista RC1 from XP Home. I noticed that folders such as My Pictures and My Videos have been renamed to Pictures and Videos as they should be, but My Music remained as it was. I attempted to access My Music, but was told that I do not have permission to view the folder, and any attempts to gain permission failed. It is also worth noting that the folder has a shortcut...

search problem in RC1 by Orville
The document search feature in RC1 isn't working for me. It's not finding files that I know have the search word in them. I've checked my indexing settings, even rebuilt the index. I'm pretty sure it worked before, although that may have been Beta 2. Any ideas?

Move the "home" folder location by yirm
I'd like to set up an account with a profile which has a home folder on a different partition -- not in c:\users. I've tried changing the Home folder "local path" location in Computer Management Local Users and Groups Users (accountname) Properties Profile. So this does create a set of folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.) in the specified location. However, When you...

Lost Files by JL
I recently upgraded my system to Vista RC2. All would appear to be well, however, I seem to have lost the majority of my files from an external USB drove (300 gig). The folders are there, but are reported to be empty, however the disk reports 73 gig in use, so I think they are there but somehow "unseen". I have run Check Disk (who knows if it is running or not!)... Anyone with any ideas?

Loss of functionality compared to XP by Jimmy Brush
Hello, As a consolation prize, you can copy the path of the file from the ui more easily now. Hold down shift and right-click the file/folder you want, then click copy as path. Puts the quotes in there for you. -- - JB

reording Favorite Links by SquirrelSF
Why can't I reorder some of my favorite links? For example, when I create one for Documents, Videos, or Music, it always goes to the top of the list, and maybe I don't want it at the top? This started in RC1, where I discovered if I deleted all my favorite links, and then recreated them, they obeyed my selected order. However in RC2, I can't find a workaround, and it always puts what it...

ANS: "What's the deal with UAC (Windows Needs Your Permission scre by Tim
Jimmy, Maybe you can help me...I'm trying to install HP Printer driver and software. I'm logged in as Administrator and running RC2. The install fails with an error of "Can't use 'run as administrator' to install this software". It gives the same error if I actually use the "run as administrator" switch to run it. Any ideas?

Disk Usage in Vista RC1 by RRanger
I installed Vista RC1 last week on an old PC and, for the most part, the experience has been great. I'm getting the full "Ultimate" version, including Aero. And the performance is actually better than XP. However, I do have one puzzling issue that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. So that I wouldn't wreck the installation of XP on my existing IDE hard drive, I popped in an old 13.6...

Zip file support doesn't work by John
For some reason, my .zip files are not recognized as such. I tried regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll but I get the error: "The module "c:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "..." is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."
