Windows Explorer Favorite Links
Feb 15, 2009When using Windows explorer, is there a way of entering it with the folders in favorite links closed and the right panel just showing the drives in your computers? It becomes a bit of a pain to close the folder and click on computer under favorite links.

May 23, 2008I'm super-new at this forum, but after searching around, I found posts from someone that had a very similar problem to mine, so I thought I'd try my luck too, and see if anyone knows how to fix this. My problem is that I accidentally deleted my -C:Users......Links- folder earlier, and then everything under "Favorite Links" in folder view disappeared. I found a way to re-create it by doing a -RUN>shell:links- command. This did the trick, but now, when I drag a folder onto the Favorite Links, the folder itself is moved into -C:Users......Links,- and not just a shortcut to the folder. When I drag a folder onto Favorite Links, I want a shortcut to that folder appear -- I don't want the whole folder to move into -C:Users......Links. I'm sorry if it's hard to understand this; my English isn't very good.If someone has any idea how to fix this problem (can it be done in the registry, perhaps?), I would be very happy if you could post here

Feb 14, 2007Windows Vista includes a great little utility that allows users to finally make soft and hard file system links in the file system. This can be very useful from a software compatibility standpoint as well as a great way to organize your computer. Unlike a shortcut, a link is at the file system level and can be used to create an alias for a file or folder that is in a different location. For example, you can create a hard link (Directory junction) called c:win that points to c:windowssystem32. After the link is created, you can open up command prompt or explorer and browse to c:win and you will see the contents of c:windowssystem32. This is not a new technology, it has actually been a core Linux and Unix feature for as far as I can remember but it is nice to finally have it in Windows Vista....

Apr 15, 2008my friend's email is thru gmail. she has a links button (looks like chain links) that she uses to provide links to websites *without* showing the website address. it simply highlights a word she has typed and the mail recipient clicks on that word to go to the website. i think several words (a phrase) can be highlighted as well as just one word. so she might say, 'click here for more info' and the word *here* will be highlighted and contains the link. does windows vista mail have this feature? i cannot find it.

I have to keep an eye on it to locate it again for the next drag for the length of one page only. Can it be dragged to the top of the list immediately?

Apr 20, 2009This guide shows you the way to convert 'DVD video to AVI' format with uncompressed codec and less compressed codec to play on Windows Media Player, to further edit video, to import AVI video to PowerPoint, Windows Movie Maker, and so on.DVD generally stands for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. DVD, providing large space and interactive content, has been widely used as data storage of video, audio, games, presentation, and so on. For DVDs with movies, there are three kinds of files under the VIDEO_TS folder, i.e. VOB, IFO, and BUP files. A VOB contains data for video (generally MPEG-2), audio and subtitles. IFO Files contain the data for player navigation, such as the start of a chapter, the control of subtitle, and so on. BUP files are just backup files of the IFOs.............

May 26, 2008Why can't I use system restore to restore back to certain restore points? I was only successful twice with it. When my laptap was new and when I used it after re-formatting my hard drive. On all occassions after those two instances I can never restore back to any restore point. It always says that "unspecified error" line. If Microsoft doesn't know what happend, how could I. Why did they bother putting system restore if it doesn't work all the time anyway. It gives you a false sense of security.

Feb 25, 2010When I click on a web link in an application, it opens the url in MS Word, not Firefox (default bowser).
For example:
In CCleaner if I click the 'check for updates' link in the bottom of the window, Word will open up, a download box will appear and then it displays the website as a document.
This happens for all apps, however it doesn't happen if I click on a .html/.url document from explorer, that will launch Firefox just fine.

Jun 8, 2008At first I thought this was an IE7 problem but after installing Firefox the problem exists there as well.
Problem:
Most of the links on web pages will NOT connect from this machine. For instance, using any Search Engine (Live search, Google, Ask.com etc) I can NOT connect to any of the sponsored links. When I copy and paste the named web address for that link then I connect without a problem.
I've posted in the IE and Firefox groups without even getting a suggestion.I had even uninstalled spybot and adaware and stopped the firewall and kaspersky but the problem remained.It looks to me like a security setting but I don't know where else to look.
Can Not Drag Links From Email
Mar 27, 2008You can no longer drag a url link from an email and drop it on an I.E. window. This used to be a good way of opening a webpage in a specific IE window instead of clicking the link which would open in whichever window it felt like - which might be over the top of a web page you want to keep open. Is this a problem with Vista mail or IE7 and is it likely to get fixed properly?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLinks Folder Can't Remove
Mar 30, 2008I love the 'Recent Places' link in the common file dialogs in Vista. I'd really like to add it to the 'Favorite Links' list in windows explorer.20 The following three links are added programmatically to all common file dialog boxes:=20
. Desktop=20
. Recent places=20
. Computer=20
These three links are not .Ink files in the Links folder. Therefore, the links cannot be removed from the Favorite Links list in common file dialog boxes. Additionally, these three links do not appear in Windows Explorer. This is a huge dissapointment, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is there some registry hack or other technique that will effectively add 'Recent places' to explorer's favorites list?

View 3 Replies View RelatedLinks Folder Got Moved
Mar 15, 2009Somehow, my Links folder (the one that contains the "favorite links" in the left panel of an explorer window) got moved into my Pictures folder --> C:Users(my name)PicturesLinks. This must have happened quite some time ago... I think it should be located here: C:Users(my name)Links - correct? If I right click and go into properties, the location tab allows me to move this folder. I get two messages - one asking me if I really want to move the folder and its contents (it's just some shortcuts), and the second if I want to direct the Links folder into another system folder "Profile" located at C:Users(my name). It also says if I proceed with the redirection I will not be able to separate them or restore the default location... I don't quite get what that means...

Fixing The LINKS Shortcut In 32bit
Aug 17, 2009#1 - Links points to My Pictures Location
I unwittingly set my Links shortcut to point to the same folder as My Pictures and for some reason I cannot undo it. If I open my Links, instead of just showing my shortcut, it also shows the folders in My Pictures. Although not crucial to ops, it is rather annoying to see duplicates on my folders in My Pictures.
I found the tutorial on resetting Personal Folders useful but it did not have anything on fixing this type of "merge." The registry entry for Links is just "&Links" which tell me nothing much.
Using regedit, I have managed to fix my personal folder including My Pictures. Only this Links problem persists.
#2 - Wrong icon for C:UsersMy_Name
Second problem --
