Favorite Feature Of Windows In General
Oct 1, 2009
ABility to turn off features, disable services/components, set backrgound to plain black, font colors to silver, and kill all gadgets, and just have APPLICATIONS open. When I work as an engineer, the las tthing I need are sidebars, clocks, weathers, and idiotic ninsense I can get when I NEED, not in my face.OCCUPYING VALUABLE DESKTOP SPACE.
I have a dozen hardcore apps open each of which may cost in $tens of thousands, Do I need to know time in London when I am coding a Microcontroler in C, and switch over to datsheet to check some chip pinout, and enter schematics and run a simulation?

I am taking a Windows Vista class which requires that I post my favorite feature. So far I have found that the snipping tool has made taking screenshots and saving them much easier.

The favorite feature about Vista on my opinion is the Aero that it has. It creates a more visual look on the window and makes the graphics look better.

When 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.

Is there a way to put a link to your desktop in the windows explorer favorites panel. Simple drag and drop doesn't seem to work, at least for me. I want to be able to access my desktop from that panel.

Does anyone else feel they were robbed by purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate? I mean seriously now, all I heard prior to release was about these fantastic extras which Ultimate users would be able to install thanks to the Windows Ultimate extras feature under Windows update. Ok now lets count the number of Ultimate Extras released thus far. Left hand up, Bitlocker, Dreamscene, Hold-em poker, hmmmm..... I cant think of any more! Come on Microsoft, you are being ridiculous. If you want people to carry on buying the top of the range product and giving them nothing extra for the huge extra amount of money!

I think as far back as win95 if you used windows explorer with status bar enabled (for vista this is called details plane) if you select a folder (in the navigation plane) in the status bar it would list the total number of items AND the total file size for all the files in the selected folder. Vista seems to have lost this feature and only the total amount of items are listed.
I'm a programmer so this feature has proved useful for me in certian cases. the workaround is to select all files but still why remove it from the unselected view? I can also detail out 4 other annoyances with the new explorer if MS would like more details shoot me an email.
1. Decending Sort in list mode kicks all the folders to the end of the file listing unlike previous versions of windows where the folders were sorted but stayed at the begining of the listing (should make this an option for what method the user would like to use).................

after weeks of fighting, troubleshooting, debugging, deleting, reloading, uninstalling, installing etc etc etc. I have finally come to the conclusion, that being able to print, is simply no longer a feature with windows operating system. Unless someone can tell me a fix that no one has discovered yet. I refuse to believe that the fix to our printing problems, is throw out the PC and get a new one. If thats the case i'm sure that there will be many people like myself who make the leap to MAC!

I have my favorites in alpha order but like to drag a couple to the top of the list but I can only drag it to the top of what appears to be a full page of Favorites, then I have to use the up arrow to move the top item to the bottom of the page and then again and again, I drag the Favorite to be moved, page after page. 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?

This 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.............

I'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

Now that Vista Second Edition, aka Windows 7, is out, this group has degenerated into Frank baiting anyone who is willing to fight with him. I won't be posting much here. Now that I have Windows 7 running, I will help people on the alt newsgroup but not under the nym of "Alias".

I'm having some issues with acquiring an IP address via DHCP. When I statically set the address and try to ping anything I get General Failure as a result each time. This is the case when I ping 127.0.0.1 as well. I tried using a USB wireless card instead with the same results which is why I do not believe it is a hardware problem.
I have restarted in safe mode with networking which provides the same result. I've checked for any software firewalls that the user may have installed but found nothing. It is a Sony VAIO, so I can't rule out the Sony hid one somewhere and I just can't find it.
The machine is running Windows Vista Home Premium. When in the network and sharing center, there is a link between 'This computer' and (when the address is not static - unidentified network or when static - Network 2) but the next link has a red x through it. When I tell it to diagnose the problem it responds with "There might be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer" and reccommends that I try to use wireless instead.wireless has the same problem,

Recently, I went to the start menu to search for a file, and found (or rather, did not find...) that 'search' had gone missing from the menu. I can still use it from specific pages, such as My Documents, but not as a general option. Secondly, Internet Explorer has an annoying habit of locking up, then giving me the option of exiting the program or restarting...

After trying to install drivers for an HP printer resulting in a total wipe out and reinstall, the Asus tech called me and suggested this guide. He said to always try to connect the new device and see if Vista-64 "sees it" properly, and then uses the Vista drivers.There should be no compatibility problems. But if Vista-64 "cannot" recognize it, one had better go to the device site and ensure it's 64 bit compatible and if new drivers exist.Otherwise, forcing the install could lead to problems.

I have a mystery on my hands. I subscribe to many newsgroups, through optonline cable. With m.p.w.v.general, I have no incoming posts since February 19, 2008. When I send a post to that group, all seems ok at my end, but it never reaches the group. All my other groups are ok.

I have a general question re network settings under Vista Home Premium. On occasion, during busy times of the day, my cable modem will indicate that the connection is lost. If I manually unplug the power cable to the cable modem and router, wait until 15 or so seconds, and reconnect the cables, I can usually suceed in obtaining a connection. I assume the computer looks and finds a new address from my IP.
Under Vista, using cmd.exe (elevated), I tried ipconfig /renew but
received the following message - An error occured while renewing interface
Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has
timed out. [end quote]

I have an HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook (Model No. FS136UAR to be specific) running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit. As a little bit of history to the current problem, here is a basic run down of the problems so far. Got the laptop in first week of February. Up until about Mid April, the laptop would regularly not boot. Post would run as normal and then a black screen message saying Windows could not boot; insert the CD/DVD and repair or run a recovery.
Twice the setup based repair and the HP provided recovery repair did not work and I had to rebuild the laptop. Once I rebuilt it with HP recovery partition and the second time I got a new MS retail CD and installed the system from scratch with drivers downloaded from HP's site.......................

Admittedly I may have done something to cause this but I can not get it right: Vista Home premium, 32 bit. New User, new PC. Had all data and music files on external HDD's. Moved data (documents, pictures) over last week, and moved Music files over to C drive today.
On Taskbar, at Start button, click on button, On right side of Start menu there are: under my picture, choices for "Me (user)", Documents, Pictures, Music, Games, then a divide and then, Search, Recent Items, Computer and so on. If I click on Documents I go to the folder with files of documents. Same with Pictures. The files from both Documents and Pictures came from an external HDD.............
