Sorting Folder List, Skipping The Word "The"
Mar 15, 2009
Its impossible hard to search for a solution that involves the word "The." I have a directory that is made up of hundreds of DVD folders. Several of which start with "The" and I would really love to find a way to sort the folders skipping the word "The" without having to rename each folder (ie.."Dark Knight, The") So if anyone has any ideas or anything Id love to hear it. Id prefer to not use any 3rd party programs if possible.

Am not real sure where is the right forum to post this... so guess I"ll start here. I have a newer Dell Studio. My keyboard started skipping about 2 days ago. Can I run the "Drivers and Utilites" disk that came with the system ? or even the Operating System disk ?

I frequently find myself sorting the contents of a folder by modified date or size. What I'd like, though, is for these criteria to apply equally to subfolders and files. if I sort by modified date, I'll get a list where all the folders are at the top (sorted by date) then all the files are at the bottom (sorted by date). I'd like to see a single list where the folders and files are interspersed and everything is properly sorted by date (not sorted by type then date as Explorer effectively does for folders). I'm guessing no, but is there any way to get Vista's Windows Explorer to do this?...........

How can one convert the list of files in a folder, as shown on "View...List" in Explorer, to a Word Document without first capturing the screen, printing the image, then physically scanning the printed page, and finally utilizing the OCR program? I do not wish to retype the lists as text documents, which I nearly and effectively have to do when the OCR has been used previously in this manner. I have over 2,000 family photos that I have restored and "saved as..." with identifiying names and dates and need an editable list to be used by recipients of the copies that will be given. The photos were not tagged. Vista Home Premium and Office 2003 are being used.

Ciao from Dallas! This is my first post here and though you folks all seem very pleasant and extremely well informed I hope I don't have to spend lots of time here. I would rather be enjoying my new computer rather than reading about how it works and how to get it to work, if you know what I mean. My computer uses are very limited by most standards (internet, email and some word processing for the most part with simple audio/video and photo work occasionally) so I prefer stuff that allows me to easily and repeatably get the job done with a minimum of fuss and struggle. With that here's the short story and the questions.
Lucky me, I had to replace my eight year old computer last week. Big change smacking me in the face! Even the new keyboard is taking some getting used to. I had no idea, nor did the salesperson mention, there were multiple versions of Vista to contend with until I began re-installing software I had used for years. Not everything likes 64bit! ...........

I thought that by selecting 'Apply to Folders' in Folder Options it would apply to all folders. But I still find myself changing the folders to 'List' and removing the column headers. I have Vista Basic sp2 and have thought they would have corrected this by
now. Or, is there a problem with my system?

Using Windows Vista Home Premium. When I look at the contents of folders, the contents are sometimes listed as a single list. Sometimes the list is divided into sections: A-H, I-P, Q-Z.

using the laptop through wireless I can see other computer and even list their shared folders but when I try to actually list files the connection timesout and gives an error os dennied access to the shared folder. If I try to use VNC for instance, the client connects, asks for pass and then after the remote screen starts to appear.. it hangs... no response after that . The strange part of the problem is that if I connect the laptop through a wired connection everything works ok I access shared folders, I print remotely, no problems. I tried a number of things , the most obvious, like firewalls diferent settings on the network etc. What I can't figure out is what can be so different in the PC for the wired to work but not the wireless.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 Core 2 2.0G Duo Processor, 2 Gig of ram and a 256MB ATI Mobility X1400 video card. I am running Windows Vista. Whenever I play a Divx movie with WMP it skips. Sometimes the sound plays good but the picture becomes slows down. After about 30 sec? min, the picture takes off and catches up to the sound. I have tried other players and I get the same results. The only one that seems to work is VLC player. I talked to a fella in a computer shop today and he suggested more ram. Is 2 gig of ram not enough, or should I have more? I have another computer that is also an Inspiron 6400 with the exact same hardware but it has XP on it. It does not have any problems with it. Is this a vista problem or do I need to upgrade it already?

My cmigrated contacts are a mess...When I click on "contacts" the list is sorted by first name. Next, I attempted to sort by 'last name' - the field for 'last name' is blank for most contacts DESPITE there being a first and last name on their contact card. Outlook Express was simple, intuitive and easy to customize. Windows Mail is cumbersome, slow and totally counter-intuitive as well as complicate as hell to customize.
1) How do I get the contacts list to reflect what is ACTUALLY on the contact cards: ie: First and last names
2) Can I switch back to Outlook Express with Vista?

My stepdaughters computer skips sound and locks up when playing loud Rock music. When playing other types of music it is fine. I changed her audio drivers from Microsoft to Dell drivers and that fixed most music but it still happens when playing Rock music. The hardware diagnostics says the device is working properly. She has Vista Home Premium with SP2.

I'm just starting to use Windows Mail - looking for a way to display the names in my contact list (previously address book) on the "home" page of Mail, under the folder list, as I used to see them in Outlook Express. It's much more cumbersome to have to open the contact list, find a name and then click on the email button. Is that the only way to open a new mail with a person's name in the To field?

(it's been a while since I've needed this kind of support so let me know if more info is needed) Anyways, from the moment Vista plays the logon sound there is static crackling and chirping noises whenever there is audio playing at the same time as any kind of visual change on the screen (not every screen update). For example videos on websites that play them as plugins are especially static-y. However, playing a fullscreen game (i.e. World of Warcraft) does not produce the static.
Interestingly, I have now tried two different video cards. The Nvidia and now a ATI Radeon, both have the same identical problem. I first thought that it might just be a Nvidia Issue but this is not the case. I have checked for IRQ conflicts and none exist that I can find. I have updated Windows as much as I think I can. I've tried changing Creative drivers as well.

On my laptop, the Start Menu/All Programs items are listed with the Single Program items first and the Folders after them. Normally on the Start Menu/All Programs, the Folders are listed first and the individual programs after them. How do I get this order back? I tried going to Start/properties/start menu/customize and click and unclicked the "Sort All Programs...." feature and the order remains the same.

When I go to START - FAVORITES the individual sites and subfolders appear in one list alphabetically. When I go START and right click on FAVORITES to open it in a window, the folders appear first alphabetically and the individual sites next on the list. The same thing happens when I have a site open and go to FAVORITES from the menu bar. The list is sorted first by folders and then by individual sites. I would prefer to see them listed as the second and third examples show but I cannot get the first one to sort that way. Pretty picky I know, but it is Wednesday after all.

installed Vista SP1 and now there's no network icon in system tray but actual internet access works fine. I go to taskbar properties and select always show network icon and the icon reappears but I get the two computers with a red X. I mouse over it and get a window "connection status unknown : the service to detect this status is turned off." So I click the message and I get these options: "More Information. Connect to a Network. Network and Sharing Center". I click more information and a box pops up asking me do I
want to turn on Network List Service. I click "turn this on" and windows brings up the UAC prompt for Network and Sharing Center. I click continue but the network icon does not change to a globe even after a reboot. I go into the list of services in the Administrative Tools control panel and attempt to turn on Network List Service there and I get this message "The Network List Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or
programs." The services which this service depend on all are running, although there also is the TCP/IP Protocol driver and NSI Proxy service whose status I don't know. SLUI Notification Service which depends on this service won't start. This worries me as this service has to do with activation and I don''t want my (genuine) copy of Vista suddenly becoming unactivated!

What'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.

Last night I was working on an Access database. I closed the file and its folder and then decided to go back in to check something. I opened the folder and THE FILE WASN'T THERE!! Panic and chaos ensued for a while. I was able to find the file by going back into access and opening it from it's most recently used file list. I saved a backup copy etc.....
However, the original file is still not showing up in the folder. I have changed the folder settings to show hidden files, done a search, everything I can think of, but the file won't show up. Thinking that the original is somewhere else and perhaps I have just lost it, I moved a backup copy into the original folder and tried to change it's name to that of the original file. Windows gives me the warning that a file with that name already exists! If it exists, how come I can't see it? The folder says there are 9 items but there are actually 10 if you include this ghost file.

I have two computers running Windows Vista Ultimate. When SP1 became available, it immediately appeared in the Available Updates list (in fact as the only one until I installed it, then others were re-listed again), but only on one of the two computers. On the other one, I continue to see all other updates but not SP1. It's not in the Updates History and the Help|About still shows version 6.0 (no Build 6001 or Service Pack 1 indicated). I read in MS articles that it is advisable to isntall SP1 from the Available Updates window rather than force download and install from the MS website. Is there an explanation for this or should I just give up and explicitly get it from the MS website?

I can't find Windows Aero on the list in step 2
1.. A window will appear, with a list of available themes in a drop-down menu, with corresponding illustrations below. The setting should be on "Vista Basic" as default.
2.. In the drop-down menu there is an option for "Windows Aero"
3.. Click it, then select Apply then OK and you're computer will be configured to Windows Vista Aero.
