I want my new messages to come in at the bottom but everytime I open my email box it is back at the top again. It is most annoying. This just started happening since I replaced my hard drive. Is there some setting I am missing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis has been asked in many ways in many places, but I've yet to see a solution to this... when using Windows Explorer to display folder contents, and to then sort the files displayed by date (created, accessed, or modified, the problem is the same), the files are sorted first by month, then by day, then by year. The result is that all "January" date appear first, then all days within January, then all years for January dates, and THEN all February dates, etc. This is not how a sort by date is done.
Any first year programming student knows that when sorting by date, the result HAS to be chronological. Why doesn't Microsoft know this? Fields in a sort need to be handled by TYPE. Date fields are NOT the same as numerical fields. When an ascending sort of "1/15/2007, 1/14/2009" produces the results of "1/14/2009, 1/15/2007", that is a BUG, and Microsoft should fix it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI followed the column width tutorial thing here and a bunch more to make it so all my folder have the default sort by order of name, date modified, type, size so its like xp. but when I lookit my columns it ends up like this all the columns are stuck at 80 pixels so date modified is cut off. I did do the obvious method of going to the show more and changing it to 104 which is the size for all of the date modified to show up but that didn't work so thats why i'm asking. For some reason if I shuffle through the views (I press the view button on the top a few times to go from list to details, etc back to list) and come back to list format, it ends up the way I want it. Like so:
but if i close the folder and reopen it, it ends up the first way. I did press apply to folders after the change was made to see if it sticks but it didn't My questions is how you set it so I can make it look like the way it does the second time around the first time cause looking at "Date modif..." is sorta annoying. do i have to reset all the folders and then reapply settings? Also another quick question, is there a way to change all your folders to a single template instead of going one by one? since view settings are set are done by template. and not the subfolder options cause that only changes the options of the subfolders of the root directory or whatever directory you chose. or if that isn't possible, is it possible the settings for the template for "all items" and apply it to other templates?
I can't find a way to sort font folder by last modified date. In windows xp there were that column but in vista it seems to be disappeared.

As part of the Office 14 release wave, Microsoft is going to provide“Office Web applications,” which it is describing as “lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. These versions will allow users to access their documents via a Web browser on the PC, phone or other devices.
Microsoft is slated to make the announcement about its Office Web applications plans at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles on October 28 during the morning keynote. Read more at the Source: Microsoft to ‘webify’ Office (sort of) | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com

One annoyance that I've found in Vista is that unlike all previous Windows versions that I've used, when I get a file selection menu, such as for opening a file within an application or 'save as...', if the list is a multicolumn one, as is usually the case, the ordering of the files is NOT vertical as it always had been before, but is horizontal.
Although I can see a logic in this, the fact is that when I'm faced with columns, my eye naturally reads down each column, and therefore I need the vertical sort arrangement as had always previously been the case.
Please, therefore, does anyone know of a fix for this, so that I can restore vertical sort arrangement in those lists?
This is what my system has and I would like to ask you guys if everything works to the maximum. Why do I only have 2.12 available of physical memory?
I would love to hear what you say guys. Tnx.

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.
I just bought a new Dell laptop running Vista and it is not letting me save anything to the c:drive. I've looked at all of the settings and can't figure out why.

I thought it was just an error with internet explorer buuuuuut, it also happens with non internet related applications such as the G.E.C.K.(Garden of Eden Creation Kit) for Fallout 3, when I edit, or create a modification, I click save, and guess what... nothing happens.
So I cannot save my work, or anything else. I can however print a page to a .xps document, and save stuff I paint in the Paint accessory. Why this only happens for some things, I dont know, but one thing is for sure. It annoys the hell out of me. :mad: I have tried thorough full virus scans, and turned up nothing, cleared internet explorer and windows temporary files, I have defragmented the hard disk(dont know how
this would help, but im trying everything.) I have done pretty much anything known to man to figure this out, it is not working and kind of a major issue for me. It just started happening this week.
I have just purchased a new hard drive with Vista / Windows 7. I am a full time journalist and becasue I am so familiar with MS Office Word 2003 I had it loaded on my new drive. My trouble is after I save a Word file I alaways back it up on my external hard drive for saftey sake.
Whenever I attempt to do this now, however, I always get the dialogue box "This is a read only file". How do I get rid of this annoying, frustrating problem. I simply want to back up a word document on an external drive ... so why won't it let me do it. And why does it stipulate that it is a "Read only file" when I never saved it originally as such?
If I edit the file in notepad and try to save I get this message: "Cannot create the C:usersathandocumentshtmlfilename.html file. Make sure the path and filename are correct".
"Right-click on the Documents file and choose properties. Select customize Use this folder as template: All Items Apply this template to subfolders" This list a fix for when located in specific area but for myself these files are not located it the documents folder and this fix does not work.
