With all the previous versions of Windows, I could easily find the folder that stored the "cookies." Try as I may, I can't find it on Vista. I get the Windows Vista magazine and they printed the "route" you had to take, but it didn't work. Where is the cookie folder?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium. How do I find the list of Cookies? I would like to pick some cookies out to delete them. I kow how to delete temperory cookies. I want the whole list of cookies.
How do I migrate all my cookie files in XP to my Vista system? I tried copying over all the cookie files in XP to Vista, but they don't seem to take effect. I have tonnes of site specific stuff saved in my cookies on XP, and want to use these cookies on my Vista system.
Where are the cookies and temporary internet files kept under Vista? I tried to open the cookies and Local Setting folders, but got a Not Accessable error. If they are really there, how do I access them? I'm the only using the computer.
I have a simple text file with a certain word in it. I try to find this text file, but vista won't find it. Windows 2000, linked by network, finds it within a second. I have tried all available options.
It just doesn't work. Why is there not a simple search function that actually works like in windows2000? I am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit. But not having a working search function doesn't look that "ultimate" to me.
I saw a post here asking about where to find themes for VISTA. When I went to the suggested site, I saw what looks to me like different desktop background pictures and different window colors. I can do all that without added software
Just wondering if Vista has a zip utility? I know about Winzip, etc but XP had a zip utility with it, as did the other previous versions of Windows. I cannot find Vista's zip utility.
I turned off UAC (because that was a suggested remedy I found online for an IE8 problem I've been having). This morning, I found that my cookies had been wiped out. I tried locating the folder where cookies are stored, and the cookies folder was gone. (I made sure that hidden files were visible, as were system files.) I then turned UAC back on, and the cookies folder re-appeared--with all of my cookies intact.
Why is it I seem to now lose my passwords, every time I start up IE7 I have to log into programs or sites (like Yahoo or Google.) Never seen this before- did I check something by accident?
My company has a fax shared on one of the 2003 servers. When I print to this fax server in Windows XP the Fax Wizard walks me thru all the necesarry screens and remembers my Delivery Notification settings, i.e. whether I want a notification, the email address I want the notification sent to and the attach a copy of the fax to the notification.
All of these settings I can find in the XP Registry at HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftFaxUserInfoReceiptEMail(dword), ReceiptAttachFax(dword) and ReceiptAddress(string). However, I cannot find these same settings in Vista Registry. I can set these each time I send a fax in Vista under ToolsOptions, but it is a pain to have to set these everytime I send a fax in Vista. Where can I find the equivalent Vista Registry values?
I just switched from XP Pro to Vista Business. My XP had movie maker which I used a lot. Now I cannot find movie maker in Vista. Did I not load movie maker correctly or does it not come in business version?
I need to read an email from sometime ago. In XP I know where the .dbx files are. I can't find them in Vista 64. Are the still here or are the something else.I have unchecked hide protected bits and bobs.
I keep an empty folder on my desktop to hold files I have downloaded until I can work on them or for temporary storage etc. With xp this folder's toolbar had an "X" icon for deleting any highlighted files. For some reason I can't find this in Vista.
I can't connect to internet by Windows Vista. I tried to establish a dial-up connection, but Windows Vista can't find the modem. Even by giving the dial-up number and other login info, I can't connect to internet. Vista and XP are on different local disk and I can contact you with XP. I'm not sure what the modem is exactly (broadband, WWIS, DSL, etc.), it's a phone line modem with a speed of 56 kbps.
I have a Kodak CX7330. On my XP machine, I am able to select only those pictures that I want to transfer, I cannot find such an option on the Vista system.
I am not a native english speaker, so don't hate me for language problems. So, the problem I have here is that Windows Vista does not find any DRM protected music files I have. I am a new Napster Flatrate To-Go user. I can download alot of albums, but of course they are DRM protected, which is not a problem for me. But what is an problem for me is, that any downloaded files won't be found by the index. The music files of Napster are stored in my music folder (C:Users...Music), so the indexer should find them. Any other music I had (non DRM protected files) can be found easily via the Startmenu, the search dialog and Windows Media Player. The DRM protected files can't be found, except than in Windows Media Player. I already deleted the old index-cache and created a new one, but that didn't help either. Anyone else with this problem? Or a solution maybe? Or is this a general "bug" in Windows Vista?
Whatever happened to the file transfer program Alohabob? Microsoft bought the company a few years back and there were reports it was going to be integrated into Vista. I cannot find it anywhere on my Vista system. Was it ever implemented? If not, it certainly should have been. Anyone wishing to transfer files from a previous version of Windows would find it most useful.
I just fired up on windows vista with IE 7 after many long years on win95 and 98.
I searched but did not see this exact problem. I was trying to login to my amazon account and it said I needed to enable cookies to get in. Over the course of the next 2 hours I was finally at:
Norton shut off.
Cookies enabled with all amazon sites they listed in as trusted sites.
Is there any way to search the cookies folder in Vista (or Windows 7)? In Windows XP, I can search a specific folder and use part of the domain/site name to find all cookies from the site (eg. microsoft*). When I try this in Vista though, I never find anything. First of all, typing cookies on the start menu is a blind alley. So, I navigate to the cookies folder, type my search term in the search box and nothing is found. When I click on the Advanced Search link and check the box to include non-indexed, hidden, and system files, it still doesn't find anything. How are people finding anything in Vista?
When Vista Home Premium 64 bit boots, an error pops up from the system tray saying that C:Users(username)AppdataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsCookies is corrupt, and suggests to run chkdsk (which did not help). I've tried renaming the folder to see if Vista would recreate a new one, but the same error appears, with the new folder name. I tried to delete the folder, would not delete, gave no reason why. I tried booting into the hidden admin account to delete it, still would not delete. If I try to open the folder, it says the folder is corrupt, it cannot be opened.
I really know better; after receiving one of those cute E Cards, I clicked on the link to read the card. I had a lot of mail and was not really thinking. if I use system restore (Home Premium), will all cookies and any other crap put on my comuter be removed?
I have Windows Vista on my laptop and I use avast antivirus downloaded free from the internet. I also have my popup blocker on but keep getting these irritating popups almost every 2 minutes when using my internet explorer. I have to keep deleting them. I have tried to delete all my history and cookies but this does not work either. I notice that when I use another user profile on my computer it does not happen.
There is a link for activities on the Registry for XP and previous Windows, but I cannot find one for Vista. Will someone (with more knowhow than I) please advise me either what is the link, or tell me how to make a backup of the Registry. If I make a backup and then whilst removing unwanted files make a mistake, how do I activate the Backup? Will the activation of backup also restore the removed files?
