Desktop Folder Views Not Saving

Aug 16, 2009

I have only one item on my desktop, which is a "Tools" folder, and every so often, the views reset to folders first, then apps, in alphabetical order. I've set the folder options to "Remember folder views" and it still doesn't save. It's not a big deal, just really annoying, because the way I organize everything is much easier to access, then randomly, windows resets the folder view...

Forgetting Folder Views & Sticking New Files At The Top Of Folders

Jun 15, 2009

Been using Vista (Ultimate, 64bit, SP1) for about three months now (only because I wanted to get acclimated to Windows' new look and feel for the eventual switch to Win7), and one of the first things I noticed was that a) it kept forgetting my folder views and b) it kept sticking my new files at the top of folders instead of the bottom. I just figured it was a "feature" and I looked around the net for a way to work around it, but never found one. I just tried to live with it until the other day a friend directed me to the tutorial Brink posted to make Vista remember (I don't even know how I missed it; I'm usually pretty proud of my Google Fu), and it made me incredibly happy. So I thought "Hey, there might be a fix of some sort for my other problem." The problem is, I can't remember the search query I used to get info for problem (b) the first time around and I couldn't get any decent results with the ones I was trying. So I decided for the direct approach and ask here.

So here's exactly what my problem is. Whenever I drop a file into a folder, or save a new file, Vista is always sticking it at the top of the folder. And not even as the first file, usually as the second. Now, if I happen to have that folder open when I save the file, sometimes it will put it at the bottom, sometimes not. I never had this problem with XP, and its pretty annoying since that's how I process and sort my files. Is there something I can do about this?

NOT Allow To Delete The Folder From The Desktop

Using vista 64 and I have a folder that contains another folder with a small file inside. Vista will NOT allow me to delete the folder from the desktop. I have tried everything that I know to do:

Deleted The 'desktop' Folder By Accident

May 26, 2009

i deleted the 'desktop' folder by accident from the My Documents window (or just above my documents folder)...

Now the 'Desktop icon' at the top of the folder list shows a different set of shortcuts/folders (incl. RecycleBin, Network etc etc)... the now 'yellow' desktop folder that is under the 'user' is messed up.

I've attached 2 screen shots because i'm sure my explanation is poor. Anyway, this is driving me crazy - can't figure it out. I've been messing around with it for hours - at one point i had 'desktop' with about 15 'desktop' subfolders......

'Desktop' Folder Deleted: Restore?

Jul 27, 2009

I use Vista Home Basic and out of nowhere I realised there was a 'Desktop' folder in the Favorites tab on IE. Since I have no need to have all my desktop shortcuts messing up the arrangement of my fave webpages so I went ahead and deleted it. Warning bells should have gone off in me head when File Operations was asking for permission but I persisted. And now all the files that I have kept on my desktop are gone i.e. pics, pdf, resumes!! I have checked the Recycle Bin but they are not there either. I tried using a software that downloaded online -> WinUndelete but it made me more confused.

When logged on as Administrator or as myself with full admin rights why can't I view the All Users Desktop folder? My desktop shows the shortcuts that are in the All Users desktop folder. I am not paranoid but methinks there is a user predefined in Vista that is higher than Administrator.

Perfect Upgrade From Home Premium To Ultimate, Extract The .iso File Using Winrar To An Empty Folder On The Desktop

Oct 31, 2008

Just finished my upgrade from Home Premium x64 SP1 to Ultimate x64 SP1. I've been lurking here on the forum for a while now and having seen quite a few folks having problems with their upgrades, I thought a post sharing the steps I took, which resulted in a Smooooth and problem free upgrade, might be of interest to some.

In no way am I advocating or recommending ANY of the steps that are shown here (i.e. turning off the firewall, etc.).

First phase:
-Purchase and download the upgrade to my hard drive (shoparhive.com was less costly than digital locker). Since I live 40 miles away from the nearest store, I preferred the digital download.

-Extract the .iso file using winrar to an empty folder on the desktop.
-Performed full system virus scan.
-Performed full system spyware scan.
-Performed full system backup to the removable HP media drive.
-Burn the downloaded iso file to dvd, and the extracted files to another dvd.

Second phase:....................

Saving Files...

May 21, 2008

Whenever I go to save something, y'know right-click, save as... etc., there's an arrow to the right which will display the last ~20 files saved, ostensibly to make it easier to save files with similar names. (Incidentally there's extreme redundancy between that and auto-complete.) I would like to disable this feature, mostly because people are always snooping in my computer, as well as the fact that I'm always accidentally clicking it.

Of course, I can merely save many files in the same format to overwrite the one on the drop-down, but that doesn't really solve the problem of my accidental clicking.
