Hi, I've noticed that on my machine files with file extension .sln have been associated with two different programs, Visual Studio 8 and Visual Studio 9. Solution files saved by VS8 are associated with VS8 while Solution files saved by VS9 are associated with VS9. I'd like to learn how this is accomplished. Usually a single file extension can only be assigned to a single program. Can anyone...

I have a new laptop running Vista 32bit. I have updated Windows & Works (no other new software loaded) including Vista SP2. The computer seems to be functioning fine, booting ok, and Windows Update is reporting the computer Up to date but I have a large number of files in the pending rename folder in winsxs\temp. Some of these are being reported by Comodo antivirus as infected but as I've...

Hi I lately noticed that my Vista (32bit) doesn't want me to make .txt files. When I'll right click on desktop and choose new from the menu I'll get this: http://zepi.kapsi.fi/PropertiesMenu.jpg So, there is no "new txt file" option. This happens in every directory, not just only on the desktop. Is there any way to get the "new txt file" option back?

I need to boot directly from hibernate or sleep into a running program, without the USERNAME icon appearing and requiring a keystroke from me. I have my computer set to automatically wake up at 9AM and start trading stocks on an automated protram basis. Please Help or direct me to remove that Icon from appearing.

Hi, Is there some kind of add-on or a method that would allow me to search my Firefox bookmarks with Vista's Windows Desktop Search (WDS) the way it can be done for Internet Explorer Favorites? Peter

The system shell for Windows Vista has been purposely built by Microsoft such that ... - When files of various types are selected simultaneously, the option to open them is made inaccessible to the system shell, whether through their context menu or the keyboard (i.e., pressing {Enter}). This is governed by file extensions, not by the program handling the files (e.g., it occurs when...

Today, I tried to recover a Windows Mail folder containing at least one message that I lost months ago. Ran into assorted problems: 1. The backup and restore center makes it rather difficult to recover anything so old that the backups catalog has been corrupted and erased a few times since that item was stored a backup. I finally got around this by telling it I needed to restore something put...

When I got my Vista Business laptop in spring I had a lot of problems accessing folders which I'd transferred over from my previous laptop which was running XP, and I kept getting messages to say I did not have permission to open the folder (or something like that) even though I am the only user of the Vista machine (as I was on the XP machine) and I have administrator rights in Vista. I'd...

Vista Basic x32 sp2 I moved the location of Vista's Media folder to a folder I call Sounds. When I open the folder in Sound to set a wav file to an event it displays only 54 files while explorer is showing 59 ( the actual number). Any reason why the two places in vista would show a different number of files?? James

I have found what is probably a bug in Vista and/or Windows 7: when copying EFS-encrypted files to a different computer without EFS performance is severely degraded. This is caused by 30 second timeouts during which the copy target looks for non-existent domain controllers. I have described the issue and a workaround in detail...
