Good afternoon I have deployed Vista to our workstations and set the folder redirection in the mandatory profile. The "Documents" folder redirects to the fileserver as does "Music", "Videos" etc. This functions perfectly from the end user perspective but when I log on to the fileserver and look at the "users" folder all I can see are folders called "Documents". The folders used to be named...

")Hi, the video folder (the standard one under User/username) has suddenly disappeared. The shortcut link in Windows Explorer under "favourite links" is still there.

How can I restrict the search to just find documents (word & excel) and no other files or folders?

I have LOTS of graphics on my computer. The folder icons in vista home premium don't always match the contents of the file. This is frustrating, since I have to go looking in 100s of folders for the right one instead of just looking at the folder exteriors. For example, in a folder of pictures, a picture from a completely different filewill be on the front. I have gone into...

I have downloaded Windows AIK but am not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has done this and could provide some...

Currently, if I sort by modified date, I'll get a list where all the folders are at the top (sorted by date) then all the files are at the bottom (sorted by date). I'd like to see a single list where the folders and files are...

Hello, If I'm sending this question to the wrong NG, please just let me know where I should go and I will. Thanks. I've recently installed Vista Home Basic 64.
