Hi, Evaluating Vista/Server 2008 for migration from W2k, W2k3, XP I noticed a couple of drawbacks when using those OSs. I've compiled the problems and put them all into one issue here instead of creating separate issues for all of them. -- 1 -- : Keyboard handling: It's very straining to use Vista/Server 2008 by

Where is the folder location of Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16609? We are using Vista Home Basic Dell systems. Trend Micro Internet Security found cookie threats in Internet Explorer Cache location. How can I find this folder? Thank you

I have a user whose PC crashed. The hard drive was corrupted but I was able to salvage most of the data including the Windows XP Profile. On Vista, when I try to copy default.nk2 to the Microsoft\Outlook folder in Application Data, I'm denied access even though I have an administrator account. This makes it kind'a tough to support my users who've moved to Vista for various and sundry...

I have a desktop and a notebook, both running Vista Home Premium. I want to synchronise my files from My Documents and Outlook 2007 (contacts, calendar and tasks). Can anyone suggest anything... I do have a NAS in my house if that helps...

My darling sister has deleted all of my musc files (over a thousand). Instead of choosing to send them to the Recycle Bin, which I could fix, she chose to delete them. Please tell me I can recover my files!?

I hope someone can help with this... Yesterday, I opened a document (Office Student 2007) from my e-mail account on the web (not Outlook) I clicked "Save" repeatedly throughout the day and was never prompted to select "Save As" and when I X'd out, it did not say "Are you sure you want to close without saving?" so, I assumed all was well. However, when I went back to open it, it wasn't there. ...

Hi, a user account has been deleted by mstake in vista home. Is there any way i can recover the data files associated with that user account? Im afraid no back up has been made!

It's driving me crazy. Practically every doc file and every downloaded Internet attachment automatically saves to the Desktop as an individual file icon -- even though I always "Save As" to a specified Documents folder. I do NOT want my Desktop cluttered with these files...but I don't think they're just shortcuts I can delete. I'm afraid if I delete them I'll be deleting the underlying...

Hi I run Vista Home Premium on my laptop and my desktop. I have them connected in a little home network. What I would like to do is to be able to use sync or briefcase to synchronize my whole user folder with subfolders Documents, Pictures, Music etc between to two computers. So when I for example download new pictures to the desktop, they will be copied over to the laptop next time I log...

I have a problem similar to several posted a few months ago. I have a directory with 39 *.avi files that I want to move as I'm organizing my drives and files, and also making backups. Their sizes are from a few MB to a couple of hundred MB. They display in the source directory, and they play on Media Player. When I try to copy them with Explorer, I get the message "Could not find this item....

I have a notebook with Vista-Ultimate on it. I have a Intel SS4000-E NAS unit in my network on wich all of my data resides. I have marked several files/folders for 'allways available offline' but when I'm offline I can't open the files (not available) I've read that offline files may not work correctly with NAS units, I've also seen some postings about making changes to the 'samba' software...

Trying to move MS Word shortcut icon from Start Menu "All Programs" area, I deleted it - oops! How to find/create or otherwise return the icon? Now, to use MS Word, I must open a past Word document, delete all contents and begin my new Word document. Silly Me :-) -- Mahalo!

Forgive my ignorance, I have a 2 part-question.(1) How do I find a file's full path. (2) What does BIOS stand for ,and a brief elaboration please. Thank you. -- davidjchuang

I can't find anything in Vista. I want a folder view where I can see what's in my thumb drive and drag it over to a folder in Documents. XP made it so easy to see where everything was in Documents and My Computer to make it easy to transfer files to external drives and CD. I finally found a way to see what's on an thumb drive, but you have to open three windows to try to transfer a file...

All program browsers for opening an image have suddenly started showing logos instead of thumbnail images, even though I check "thumbnails" where available as an option. I want to be able to view actualy image thumbnails in programs such as Photoshop CS2, Pictures browser, my web page designer software, etc. These all had been working fine. Any suggestions? I have Vista Home Premium.

What a huge idea, and to pull it off so well! I new it would be just a matter of time that image stacking with stereo pairs would be somehow be used. I'm a little baffled as to how their processing handles the major disparity artifacts that would normally show up in the result. How do they generate the stereo pair???? I never saw the movies that were done with DarbeeVision in the past, now I...

Have no particular reason why but my file permissions in my vista installation seem all out of order. I have never played around with them other than just disabling UAC of course. Im currently working with a few programs that require me to drop some extensions in my system32 folder but im denied permission in administrator mode. I have tried doing such in safe mode and basic administrator mode to...
