Batch files
Hello!
I am a beginner at batch files but I mean you have to start somewhere.
The thing is that I don't want the command window to be visible when
I run the batch file. Do you know how to do that?
I have also an other question. There is a program(folding client) that
runs from the command and I want to be able to hide it. I want a small

Hello!,
Hope someone can help!

Therefore I am using this discussion group. However I am using the Duch
version of Vista so I will do my very best to try to translate to english. My
apologies for any mistakes!

Help with folder relocation
I recently just upgraded to Vista (SP1), and I'm having problems with
the folders in the Personal folder. Initially, I wanted to delete them,
but they didn't seem to respond.
So next I tried to relocate them, starting with the 'Desktop' folder. I
changed its location to 'C:\Windows' but all it did was relocate all the
files from the 'C:\Windows' folder to the desktop. Now I have all of
those '...

Partitioning
Hi, I used the Disk Management (Administrative Tools) to Partition a 500G "C"
Drive to a C, D, E and F Drive.
I decided that I don't need one of the Drives (the F Drive) and want to
reallocate the space to the D and E Drives. The problem that I am having is
that the F Drive is marked as Primary Partition and the E and F Drives as
Logical Drives and when I right click on the either the D o...

Bulent's Screen recorder hiding files
I can only see the files in two ways. One is to use the Bulent's to open the
file, or use the Vista search to find the file, however in this method, the
files are listed as links and not the acutally file. When I click on the
link, the file is not there, according to the OS.
Any ideas?

Path defaults to c:\windows\system32 when using Run as Administrator
A have a couple of backup cmd files using relative paths. If I double-click
on them in Windows Explorer then they run using as the default path the
location of the cmd file, which is what I want. This worked fine on XP, but
on Vista I have to run the cmd files as administrator for some of the copies
to succeed. However, if I right-click on the cmd file and select "run as

Why is backup sorted into "Backup files 1" etc?
Hi,
i just ran the first Backup via the Wizard in Vista and wondered why it
organizes it into folders "Backup files 1", "backup files 2" up to 60 or so.
This makes finding info difficult. Whey does it not take my existing
structure, e.g. "Documents", "Pictures" , "Videos" etc?
Thanks in advance

Standard use for file detail fields?
Vista has a lot (hundreds?) of file details fields (e.g. comments, artists,
genre, ...). Some of the fields are pretty self explanatory. Some are not.
Is there a web site that defines or recommends what each field is intended
for?
I just bought a bunch of mp3s from amazon, napster, etc. I want to put the
name of the store in one of the detail fields so that at a glance I can tell

Win Vista modified ID3 tags
Hi All,
Recently, I copied a large bunch of music files from my mp3 player to
my external HDD for backup. The music files on the player were organized
as per my needs with ID3 tags for artist, title, genre etc. After
copying I found that Vista had replaced the genre tag with something of
its own! E.g. a genre that I had created called "World Fusion" was
replaced by "Jazz" and "Western Classical" ...
