Deleting Folders
Can somebody please explain to me why Vista Ultimate won't let me delete
some folders? The folders are definately not in use, but I keep getting the
UAC confirm dialogue (which I confirm) then I get another box saying
'Destination Folder Access Denied' with 'You need permission to perform this
action'. I am logged on as an administrator.
If I right click the folder and choose 'propertie...

TMController & HD Audio Deck
Several days ago I bought a Gericom computer with Vista, but something
appears not functioning as it should. Drivers were already installed and also
some additional software.
In the first hours after the first start the computer had no sound, but this
problem fixed by itself soon. Nevertheless I still have in the Systray the
icon Audio Deck which I cannot open. The hdaudiocpl.exe to which...

IE7 and WMP Broken!
A few weeks ago, maybe as much as a month ago, I started having problems with
IE7 downloading ANYTHING off of ANY website. A few days later, Windows Media

I am using a brand new computer with Vista, which has IE7 and WMP11 in Vista
itself.

How can I diagnose extreme network utilization?
My Vista box shows network utilization of around 80% (of a 100Mbps line)
continuously. In Resource Monitor the culprit is "System" connecting to a
file server I have. The file server is a NAS that runs a non-Windows OS
(embedded Linux, I think). All of the shares are Samba shares.
What I'd like to do is find out why Wndows is communicating with the file
server so much and how to stop it...

Windows Media Player Playback
When playing audio in Windows Media Player, for about the final 10 seconds
of a song the playback sounds like a CD skipping (best description I can
come up with). This doesn't happen if I don't have another song in the
playlist. It happens whether or not I have any plugins or visualizations
enabled.
This only occurs in Windows Media Player and not in WinAmp. I personally
prefer Win...

Please DON'T TELL ME TO GO TO CONTROL PANEL/SOUNDS. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT,
TESTED THE PARTICULAR SOUNDS, LOOKS AND FEELS OK, but still nothing happens.

Hack Backup to back up specific folder tree?
I see that the Vista Backup Wizard is remarkably non-configurable. File
types can be selected, but beyond that you can only choose to back up
selected file types on additional partitions, since the active Windows
partition is mandatory.
This is a very blunt instrument which produces much, MUCH larger and broader
data backups than we want. I am rather disgusted with it. For our
purp...

Desktop icon font - bold?
I can't believe I'm asking this question, as this is very easy to do in XP,
but I can't seem to find out how in Vista (32 bit Ultimate). I would like to
bolden the text for my desktop icons. I know about the font DPI settings,
that's not what I need here; the size of the text is fine. I just want it to
be bold so as to make it "pop". Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Wmiprvse
Hi
Recently my laptop running Vista Home Premium has been getting really slow
at logging in once I've typed in my password. I've gone into 'Performance
Information and Tools' and then 'Advanced Tools' and it tells me the slow
startup is due to 'wmiprvse.exe' which takes 237.4 seconds to load!
I've run WMIDiag and it has told me that WMI is running correctly.
I don't know what to do...

High HDD Activity after Startup
I recently noticed that my HDD activity is constant for about 2-3 minutes
after I have loaded the computer up. This is just after the startup programs
like AVG and MSN have loaded. After about 2-3 minutes, the HDD activity goes
back down to what it normall is, which is flashing every few seconds.
Do you know what is using the high HDD usage for those 2-3 minutes after
startup? I look a...
