Is it possible to access this so called clipboard Vista uses for such things as Snipping Tool and cut/copy recent history? I DESPERATELY NEED to recover something I've cut from my web coding!
View 8 Replies64-bit Vista Home Premium. I just tried to view the contents of the Vista clipboard and discovered that I couldn't do it. I did some research and read that a few people got around this by copying clipbrd.exe from their XP system and dropping it into Vista's system32 folder, but there were apparently issues in so doing. Is there any way I can view the clipboard contents?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI can delete my browsing history but it dosen't delete my favorite history. I don't want to delete my favorite list, just the history from when I access my favorite sites. Also how do I stop pages from auto loading. When I leave my pc on, when I get back to it I noticed other sites have automactically loaded. These ere sites my grandson went out to. I really don't have a need to go out to ninja turtle sites. I have tried everything I know to correct the above two issues but can't.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista x64, installed maybe 2 years ago.It seems to be running fine except I can no longer use the cut/copy/paste functionality.I ran sfc /verifyonly and Vista says nothing is wrong.To test,I open Notepad and type in a word.I highlight and right-click on the word and select "cut" but nothing happens (no errors, either).CTRL-X also does nothing.I can select "copy" but it's hard to say if that's working or not (probably not, if "cut" isn't working).With nothing in the clipboard, "paste" is grayed out and is not selectable.In Excel,I get the "cannot empty the clipboard" error, but forum posts seem to indicate that is an Excel weirdness and not particularly Windows-related.Here's a really weird thing:I can still use cut/copy/paste without issues in a MS Virtual PC instance.No problems there.It's running on the same machine.I rebooted and it worked again for a bit.Now it's not working again.

Why when MS Outlook this supports? I know that Thunderbird doesn't allow it as well but WinMail is he "Microsoft" product isn't it? If I receive a message with images attached than all of this are showed inside the body automatically. Why? I'm used to open it manually from attachment.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe problem I am having is in the start menu the recent documents bit is not showing any more. I can enable it and it does show up, but when I reboot my computer it disappears again. I go and right click the orb and click properties and I see that the check box for "Store and display a list of recently opened files" is unchecked again. I have not tweaked my system and the only thing I have installed lately was Firefox 3 rc3. I have got IE7 as my default browser. I am at a loss. I know this is a small problem, but it was handy to have the list of recently opened files to hand.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi runned some optimization programs on my vista system, and i think it changed something in the registry. Now, when i delete an item from recent items list on startup menu (right click -> delete), it displays "are you sure you want to move this item to the recycle bin? ". by clicking "yes", it moves the corresponding shortcut of this item into recycle bin.
before i runned this optimation, when i delete an item from recent items list, there is no this delete confirmation dialog, and it removes this item from recent items list without moving the shortcut to recycle bin. (for regular file delete operations, it asks for this confirmation and move files to recycle bin as usual. the only difference is about the deletion on recent items list.) is there a way to fix this problem? i don't want this delete confirmation dialog because i am only deleting a shortcut (not the exact file.)
hey there, could really do with finding out how to access a restore point from about a month previous to when computer (vista home premium) started going wrong but the furthest restore point listed is roughly a week ago which is no good!

I have a two year old OEM Vista Premium PC. I just installed a number of updates and when I restarted, the PC looks like Win95. In the Performance section I have it set to Best Apperance with every checkbox checked and those settings are ignored. Checking them one at a time doesn't do anything either. I tried going in via the desktop but found no aero settings. It seems the recent updates reset to the PC to Vista "Basic". I thought these setback problems were dealt with two years ago. (If MS didn't have this ridiculous
setback feature, this crap wouldn't happen to legit customers. Idiots!)
running Windows Vista Business x64 with Service Pack 2. A recent update has causes programs to freeze and require a restart, the main one is Windows Explorer where I get an error message that says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I can either restart, close, or wait for program to respond. Restarting works fine but will happen again. If I restore the system back before the update then it works fine until the update is downloaded and installed again.

Windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt. I ran the recovery disk (iso file(made) and went to repair my computer.. and still does the same thing at start up..

If it helps i have a compaq f700..if i need to reimage or anything i dont no.
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has about 20 System Restore points and I am trying to delete all but the most recent to free up disk space.
When I go to Disk Cleanup and select the option to do so, everything seems to work OK, but when it's finished there is no recovered disk space and the 20 Restore points still appear when I go to System Restore. I have tried starting the computer in Safe Mode and attempting the cleanup, but the same thing happens - the Disk Cleanup routine runs without error, but there is no recovered disk space and the 20 restore points still appear in System Restore.
Since I was getting nowhere with Disk Cleanup, I decided to go to System protection and turn off the system restore on the hard drive, which is supposed to delete all the restore points. I removed the checkmark next to the drive to remove System Restore, got the warning that I was about to remove System Restore and delete all the restore points and told it to go ahead and it finished. The same thing however, no recovered disk space and all the restore points still exist in System Restore. I turned System Restore back on by re-checking the box.
I have neither a mouse nor a keyboard working. When I try to get into Safe Mode, the desktop comes up, but I cannot interact wthout a mouse/keyboard. I booted to the Vista DVD, and restored to earlier times - twice - and the problem persists. The mouse and keyboard work when I boot from the Vista DVD. I am using a Dell E521 with Vista Home Basic. I called Dell support, but nothing they tried worked either.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to recover deleted IE history and have scoured all different sources for recovery and im starting to doubt whether or not it is possible.
What I know wont work:
System Restore- The history was deleted between restore points, and the restore points on either side of it being deleted dont have the relevant history
What I've tried:
Index.dat readers. This is what I'm confused about, everywhere I go say this file holds all IE history unless its been altered, but from everything I've actually tried it seems all the index files I can find just hold information I can pretty readily access already.
So I'm willing to try any suggestions, and also if anyone has a little more info on index.dat that would change what I've found out myself.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat's the name of the feature that tracks the things you type into the address bar and then populates the dropdown list of the last 20 you entered as well as generating a list of past sites you've typed as you type in a new URL? I'm looking for a way to clear that list, but first I need to know what it's called.
So far I know it's not considered a "Form" because Clear Form Data doesn't remove it. It's also not "Inline AutoComplete" because I've got that turned off. It's also not "Search from the Address Bar" because I've turned that off as well.
