Folder Bags...
Hi.. just like many other people, I'm having issues with Vista's ability to save folder views and templates as they're constantly changing on their own accord. This was a little frustrating with XP but at least we had the chance of increasing the saved bags cache to 8000 but I can seem to find a registry hack that will do the same for Vista. At present, I either find myself deleting...

I have two removable drives (a 250 G hard disc & a CF Card Reader). Usually I click the "safely remove" icon before I remove them, but sometimes it doesn't work and/or I forget. Now, I have three "phantom drive letters" in my windows explorer window, and if I plug in my Card Reader it is designated by three drive letters displaying in the Explorer Window. How can I remove these thr...

Start Menu Items occasionally dissapearing
I have read through the previous solutions to this problem and does not stop it from happening. I have all games, programs sorted into diffrent folders so it is easy to find. Since about 3 weeks ago, these items reset themselves and dissapear totally. I have twice collected shortcuts from my programs and organised them again in the start menu and now they have all dissapeared again. Ever...

Stumped
To All Cognoscenti, Greetings! I've started using a 500 GB external HD for backups under Vista Ultimate. All the visible folders on it contain a total of about 300 GB.

Application Cannot Save Files in Vista
I have an application that needs to save some of its data in a file. The application is installed into the c:\Program Files\Commission Calculator folder. The application wants to store its data in that same folder. With all previous versions of Windows this worked fine, but with Vista it causes a "Can't Save" error (80030103). The file extension is .adtg, but I suspect it's the folder a...

file preview thumbnails in explorer
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how vista manages the thumbnail previews in explorer. Specifically video previews. And more specifically how to extend or overwrite this functionality. For instance, let's say I develop a new type of video (format or container) how can I develop a utility that could generate previews. Or let's say instead of previewing a random frame in a video I'd like to show 2...

automatic sharing
I can index the contents of a Steganos safe mounted as drive:X but only if it is also shared (so as to give it a network path e.g. \\mypc\thissafe that UNCFATPH - the indexer add in - can use). Mounting the safe is a manual operation because it requires a password. Is there any way to automatically share this device? At the moment I have TWO batch files... 1st says "RUNAS" administrat...

"Favorite Links" in Navigation Pane is (almost) always empty.
This is very wierd. Just a couple of days ago I installed Vista Ultimate onto my machine - clean install into an empty partition. No upgrade or file & settings transfer...everything is generic. I know a lot of people don't like the "Favorite Links" window in the Explorer navigation pane, but for me it would be very useful - if it actually worked! It almost always displays "(Empty)" w...

iles_attached_to_email?
When I try to open a .doc or a .wps file attached to an email, I get an error info. When I save the file and try to open it, all is fine. The same used to be the case with pdf, but that has miraculously repaired itself after an Adobe-update. I have Vista Home Premium and the email program I use is a webmail thing. With XP it worked fine and also with another PC I have with Ultimate and a...

Heading columns and tool bar settings
Hi, I know how to filter files and everything.. I just want to know how to save it. An example: Everytime I open a window it shows in "large icons".. I don't like it...

Index inside ZIP??
Any way to get the Indexer to index the contents of files in ZIP files/archives if it has an appropriate filter for the contained file type? Absence of this facility is v. annoying. I have a LOT (Word & Excel) in ZIPs and I need them to be indexed... Thanks BTW - what happened to XP's New Folder button on Explorer windows? Another useful feature gone for no apparent good reason......

I have a LOT (word & excel) in zip files, and I need the contents index. Thanks! BTW - what happened to the New Folder button on Explorer windows - another aggravating omission for...
