Fantastic! My recycle bin has disappeared! No idea, how that could happen. How do I get it back??? Michael

For some reason the Windows Search Indexer in Vista refuses to index the files on my EXT2 partition (a non-native filesystem). Therefore I have installed the old Indexing Service along with the usual Windows Search, and using the management console (mmc.exe), I have set it up to index the mentioned partition. It seems that all is well - my CPU usage shot through the roof for perhaps an...

I have posted before on how to use Robocopy, but I am now getting some where with it. I have one last short question though When copying I want to exclude $RECYCLE.BIN and RECYCLER should I use: robocopy /mir k:\ \\Mybookworld\public\ /XD dirs $RECYCLE.BIN /XD dirs RECYCLER /XN /XO

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...

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...

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)

I am new to Windows Vista. I am having the hardest time trying to catagorize & rename my pictures. Everytime I go to a picture file in my document files, I highlight the pictures that I want to rename. Then when I click rename & type the name of the pics that I want labeled, it scrambles the pictures in a different order & the numbers of the pics are pic 1, pic 1, pic 2, pic 2, etc, etc....

I would like to tag my documents. Can I do it?

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.

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?

Running Vista Home Premium, 32 Bit, on an Acer Laptop with 2 mg memory.

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...
