Problem with folder layout inheritance by Keith Howard
Vista has more powerful capabilities than XP at specifying folder layout (e.g. width in pixels, via View | Choose Details...). However, Tools | Folder Options... | View | Apply to Folders does not seem to inherit to certain folders. I’m not sure, but it seems that folders that have been migrated from XP do not inherit the layout specified on new folders in Vista, even if they are below in...

Support for MDI files in Vista (Microsoft Document Imaging) by gougler
Hello World! Two problems with MDI (very neat format introduced by MS Office 2003 / 2007 for scanned documents) in Vista: 1. Windows Search just won't search OCR'd text inside MDI files. It won't even return MDI file if the filename matches search keyword. (BTW - MDI file extension is selected in the Indexing Options / File Types tab (associated with "MODI Document Filter Class") and...

Hidden folders don't (un)hide by Ray[_6_]
I use Explorer in classic view. When I use the Folder Options dialog to change the options to show hidden files or system files, the change is applied in the file pane but not in the folder pane. To get it to apply there I have to close Explorer and restart it. Is there a way to get this to work right? -- Ray (remove the Xs to reply)

Pictures in Documents by Nino Cartagena
I am new to Windows Vista. I am having the hardest time trying to catagorize & rename my pictures.

URLs on the Desktop using Vista Utimate 64 bit by Budgie Man
Quite a few of my Web Pages when dragged onto the desktop default back to a standard icon (namely %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll) instead of a least the Internet Explorer icon or the Website's icon. How can I make the icon reflect the Web Page? If I do try to change it myself it reverts back to the default. Thanks.

Common Dialog (Load/Save) - Missing Keyboard Shortcuts? by Axel Dahmen
Hi, as a software developer I find it very hard to use Vista just using the keyboard. One of the things I'm missing is the option to create new folders from within the Vista Common Dialogs for loading and saving files. Usually on Windows this is "ALT+F, W, F". Did I perhaps misconfigure Vista to not support keyboard shortcuts? Or are they missing indeed?

Too Many Users! by John Reid
After I became more familiar with Vista, I decided to add myself as a regular user and only use the Administrator user as required. However, I was unable to transfer my programmes, files, etc to the new ordinary user so I simply made my old Administrator User my regular user and made my new User the Administrator.This appears to work well. However, while doing this I accidently created...
