When I had outlook Express, I could block specific words from coming into my Inbox (and messages containing that word would go straight to Junk). I can't seem to find this option with Windows Mail. I have tried adding domain name etc to block senders list, but still keep getting about 40 e mails per day, staight to my Inbox, and all of them with the same subject heading.
View 4 RepliesWhen I open my E-Mail and click on Delete to erase the E-Mail, the word delete stays on the screen until I shut the computer down. The same thing happens when I play games. If I click on the Undo button, undo stays on the screen until I shut down the computer. What could be the problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I go into the search box in Windows Explorer and type a word, is Vista searching all files that have the word in the file name or is it also searching files that have that word IN the file? If it is the former, how do I get Vista to search for words that are IN the file, and not necessarily in the file name?

Is there a process to follow and a time frame before all the bad things take root? I have received the message a few times and did the following with what appears to be positive results:
Do not click OK!! Try to close the window with the X box. Shut the computer down in normal fashion. If you cannot do a hard shutdown.Reboot into the safe mode with no networking and run your scans.Reboot normally update your antivirus and scan again. I throught perhaps someone with a lot more knowledge could post a process to follow when you get this message. Is there a way to set key words in the firewall to flag this event??

I do support in a smallish/mid-sized business, and for the first time ever we are considering trying out a 64-bit windows client for our 3d cad operator. I've never had any experience with a 64 bit OS before, but I need to try to test it out and make sure it is compatible with our software and systems here. We have a 2000/2003 mixed-mode AD domain with exchange 2007 and terminal servers. A couple of our 2003 servers are already 64-bit.
- What if anything should I be concerned about? Any gotchas?
- Would it be wise to test this in a virtual machine before spending money on the hardware and then finding out it may not be feasible?
- Is there any other specific advice I should follow?
My Vista Laptop. I enabled Guest, although I heard it is better not to do that. I have a administrative account named "Owner". And I added a user name called "Brandon T". On this last one I assigned a password. Network is set to "private". Password protected sharing is set to "off" to avoid any hassles. Public folder sharing is set to off because I want to share specific files. For the specific folder "music", sharing says "Brandon T" and "Owner". "Brandon T" is "reading" but that's ok because I only want to copy for back up purposes onto my desktop. I have McAfee protection but I disabled firewalls on both sides of the equation.
My XP Desktop. One user account "Brandon T" with same password as laptop. Workgroup is set to same as laptop, "MSHOME". I have NOT downloaded the LLTP .... thing ... because I read it wasn't necessary to share. My Desktop CAN SEE the "music" file, but ... and you know what's coming ... " is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access pemissions."

Can Defender block acces to a program? I want to block kid's access to IE7, and in my old XP computer I could do that with ZoneAlarm Pro. Since I just got a new Vista, I am trying to use all the Vista stuff that's built in, rather than going to another solution.
let's say i want to block www.disney.com (199.181.132.250). For that, i enter following command into the shell:
route add 199.181.132.250 192.168.1.254
Subnet is 192.168.1.0/24
192.168.1.254 is unused
In XP the ip and dns is unreachable by browser now. Thats fine. But in vista the same procedure doesn't work. It seems there's just an additional short lag and then the site appears anyway. My guess is vista falls back to a valid route after sensing the invalid route but i don't know for sure.
I'm running a number of programs such as skype with special settings (for skype it is Vista SP2 compatability so it doesn't use up my taskbar bar when minimized). If I do that I get a popup asking me if I'm sure I want to run the app (allow it to make changes). I don't want to turn UAC completely off but even on the lowest settings before shutting it off, it has popups for my "special" apps. How do I add exceptions for my special apps as I have quite a few of them I run on a regular basis.

Vista's UAC continues to nag me every time I run Eudora, my mail client, while it has stopped nagging me about other programs, both startup items and non-startup items. Is there any way, short of turning UAC off altogether, to convince Vista that I trust Eudora to run? I've tried enabling "run as administrator" and disabling it; nothing seems to work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to connect to the network in my shared house with no problem via the wireless but at some point it just dropped off and was doing so intermittently, then it refused to connect point blank. The router is in the room next door to mine and the computer can see it is there with 100% 'reception' but it cannot connect to it. It works fine via the ethernet cable that I have but not wirelessly. In addition to this I can connect to an unsecured network wirelessly that occassionally becomes available which has less reception than the one I am trying to access. I don't understand why I can connect to one but not the other. I have not been able to connect wirelessly to this network for months now, and whilst the ethernet is working fine using it defies the point of having a laptop and wanting to move it around.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere is a great little utility that has been around for ages in Windows called the start command. This dos command allows you to start any process with advanced settings. In Windows Vista it is perfect if you want to start an application and tell windows to only run it on one CPU and at a high priority level. For example, let's say that you want to start Microsoft Paint and have it run on your second CPU core at Above Normal priority. The command below will accomplish this: ...

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having the same re-naming issue with Vista that i saw someone else had on this forum some time ago. I can't find the original posting but I don't think it was ever properly resolved.
The Problem:
I want to arrange a folder of different photos in a specific order (that is relevant to me) and then to rename the files so that they have a common name and are also numbered sequentially in the order i have put them in.
I was wondering if there was any way to save the view type of each folder. Example: I have my music folder in list view as its easy to scroll down through to choose, but I like my picture folder in the large icon view so I can see each picture better. The problem is that it seems to change the view of all the folders when I change one, and sometimes I open a folder and get a completely random view type that I never use, like extra large. I there a way to save a view to a specific folder so it wont change?
