Vista Complete Backup could not find backup devices
I'm trying to create a complete PC backup on Vista Ultimate. I'm using
an external USB harddrive NTFS formatted.
I have already backup once, as noted by the "Last backup:" information,
but I had to format the ext USB drive containing the backup image.
Now, I'm trying to create a new complete backup but Vista doesn't
recognize the USB harddrives (two of them) I have plugged in. It seems

Offline Files
I didn't hear any response from my last post on offline files. It seems that
because offline files in Window Vista doesn't work the way it should, I'm
stuck looking for another solution. Does anyone know of any other
application that provides similar functionality?

User-defined sorting
Is it possible to create a user-defined field that will allow me to
custom-sort my picture directories? I've got lots of photos and videos
of my daughter (yeah, I'm an obnoxious dad) and it would be nice to be
able to sort and use the list in the order they were taken. The camera
numbers the files properly, but puts a different three character title
on the file depending on whether it's a pic...

Grep
Hello
Help with "GREP" and VISTA
I have used several of the grep utilities that are shareware and they seem
to have the same issues. When searching a specific file or for *.log these
programs only read the shadow copy of the file.
I think I can turn off the Shadow Copy and It should work fine. But I
like that feature for dealing with logs. Is there a way to force
the filename to the a...

Memory Stick
I made the mistake of removing a memory stick from a USB port while

Now the computer won't read the drive. It doesn't exist, as far as the

without the memory stick. No luck.

Files in Documents Disappearing!
I have had Vista Home Premium for about 2 months. All of a sudden, files in
Documents are disappearing.
I told Vista to show hidden files, even though none of these were hidden.
No change.
The files still exist. I can open a local web with Expression Web link,
work on it, save it and open it again. But it does not show in Documents.
Nothing shows up in search results either. It...

Favorites Folder Redirected and now not working
OK, not a serious issue, but definately an annoyance.
I have redirected all my folders to my D:/DATA drive to prevent losing
any information in the future.
This includes my Outlook Data files as well as my Internet Explorer
Favorites Folder.
The problem, is that now, there are no Favorites in IE 7, nor can
Adding to Favorites work.
How can I undo this?
Thanks in advance.

Finding user's Contacts folder programmatically
A user can change where their Contacts folder (and other user folders) is
located by accessing the folder's Properties and going to the Location tab.
For my programs, I use the CurrentVersion - User Shell Folders key in the
Registry (via the CSIDL API stuff) to determine where dedicated folders are
located. But the Contacts folder is not part of that key's data and I don't

File associations
Two related issues:
If I select any program except Photo Gallery to be the default program for
JPGs, the option to OPEN WITH is no longer available if I select more than 1
file.
Second, if I select 16 JPG files to open in my program, the default Explorer
action becomes PRINT rather than OPEN. At 15 JPGs, the default remains OPEN.
How do I fix these problems?...

Can I Make the SORT BY - TYPE Option Available in All Folders?

The SORT BY/TYPE option is not part of the Sort By menu, by default.
It has to be added manually.
I'd like to know if I can configure Vista Home Premium so the Sort

I create.
