Is there a method to have 'advanced search' as the default setting in Vista Home Premium? I would like to have searches always search everywhere for what I am looking for and not be limited to just the indexed areas.
View 4 RepliesWhen performing a search in Vista the results show the (thoroughly confusing and useless) "Folder" column. How can I *permanently* set this to the "Folder path" column. It would also be nice to get rid of the 'Author' and 'Tags' columns.
View 4 Replies View Relatedexcept for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now. And can you guess how many processes show up in TaskManager? 26. ONLY TWENTY SIX. My IE8 starts up lightning fast and swings by all sites except videos, for certain sites w/FlashPlayer & Videos I enable CompatibilityView which aligns those older sites to IE8.
Applications startup as if they were already loaded into Memory, faster than in WinXP. Who knew? It feels like quad-core at 4GHz, seriously. Everything is momentary as if it were loaded from RAM This OS is still a failure, however, versus WinXP. Are you shocked to hear "failure" after my praises, do I contradict myself? No. Because most people are far from my tenacity and just by education, hobbies and profession I alway stune up things to perfection. My cheap car leaves far more expensive models wondering what rocket had just passed them on LIE Expressway. I enjoy tinkering with technology.
It took me 2 weeks (?) to tune up Vista beast to be a polished fast, bug-free beast. It's more convoluted than was tuning WindowsXP. I spent several days in Registry, GroupPolicies, SecPolicies, filesystem digging out and blatantly renaming & moving system files no one is supposed to touch.........

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got an apparently "broken" search installation. So that I can skip through the normal "click the folder you want to index" type of answers, it's way beyond that. Let me give some background first. This is a new installation of Vista x64 Ultimate on this machine. I just installed it a little over a week ago after I got a blue screen of death that wouldn't allow any type of system restore, etc on the prior install. My prior installation on that machine was a Vista Ultimate x32 bit. The prior installation had the OS on the C: drive and I had moved "My Documents" out of a Windows XP onto the D: drive (D:My DOcuments).
In that prior installation, I left all Music, Videos, documents etc. under the original layout and just pointed the Vista "music", "documents", etc folders to the sub folders. I had no problem indexing on my prior version. I have a Vista 64 bit Ultimate at work as well and IT has no problem indexing even under the default locations..........

Finally after many unreleased betas, I now have Advanced Windows Care working with Vista x64. I would say that it won't be too long before they release the final version of Advanced Windows Care that is compatible with x64. I consider Advanced Windows Care to be a great all in one program and after I had problems with their beta, I offered to test for them.

In WinXP's Network Connections, there is an advanced settings option in the advanced menu, is there such a place in Vista? The reason I ask is I have computers with XP and NetBeui; I have File and print sharing, and Client for MS Networks checked for NetBeui, and unchecked for TCP/IP. I want to do the same in Vista. NetBeui works for a wired connecton in Vista, but I have yet to get it to work wirelessly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista includes a two-way firewall that has outbound filtering disabled by default. Why? The best explanation that I got was that it was too complicated for end-users to use so they had that feature turned off as well as hidden. In fact, it is hidden so well that many users may think that the two-way firewall was yet another feature that was pulled from the final product. While that is true for other features the two-way firewall made it into the final product, you just need to know how to find it.
To get started, just click on the Start Button and key in wf.msc and hit Enter. This will bring up the comprehensive Windows Firewall with Advanced Security management interface. Here you will be able to configure rules for incoming as well as outgoing connections.
Make sure that you set the default action for outbound connections from allow to block. Otherwise the outbound firewall will be useless because it will allow all connections. This can be done from the Windows Firewall Properties link found on the main screen of the management interface.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI open c: drive and do a search for "temp." I want to find all the temp folders and see if there is junk in them I can delete.
Search finds about 40 folders with the word "temp" in them and takes about 25 seconds to do it.
I click on one of the found folders and it opens and I check out what is in there.
I click the arrow to go back to the search list and the damn thing starts over it does the search again.
So I try the "Save search" thing... but all that does is save the search word that's about as stupid a function as Microsoft has ever thought up. What's the point in saving a search word when it just starts over anyway?
In XP I could do what I wanted in search. Check one of the found folders and go back to the search list. Is there a way to junk vista's search and go back to xp's?
