For a while now, Vista thinks ALL my folders are either music folder or Photo folders so I get Music or Photo related information in the explorer bar such as Burn instead of New Folder And the list shows Artist, Album, Genre, Date taken. Instead of Creation Date, type, size and so on. It's driving my nuts. I can't work like this. How do I change all my folder so it shows the standard "PC Geek Tools and infomation" and not the

View 7 Replies View RelatedI don't know how to get it back! I searched folder options control panel, but either didn't see the option there, or didn't know what I was looking for to restore it. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about, and knows what I did to bork it, and how to un-bork it!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a computer where I can't access the Explorer Folder Options (specifically the Folder and Search options under the Organize submenu.)
When I select it, I get an error message labeled 'Restricted.' The text reads "This option has been cancelled due to restrictions See your administrator."
However, I should point out that I DO still have admin priveleges. I can access any other menu or option. I can edit the registry, change the internet explorer options, use the group policy editor, whatever.
Most of the potential solutions I found relate to either a program changing the restrictions for Explorer folder options; but the associated registry entries where those restrictions would normally be 'keyed' are not present.
Editing the group policy (which by default is 'not configured') to 'disable' the 'Remove Folder Options' policy has no effect whatsoever. Editing the registry, adding keys, and then disabling them, also has no effect.
Using NOD32 and scanning in safe mode results in no infection found, and I'm not seeing the telltale signs of an infection (such as limiting my admin priveleges in other areas, like registry editing or using the control panel applets.)
Hijack this does not provide any clues; it all looks clean (with the exception of some leftover services from TuneUp Utilities, which I ended up cleaning out manually.) Cleaning this did not change the problem at hand.
Using a restore point from several days ago did not fix the problem. I could go further back but I don't even know when this problem began. Maybe as long as a month ago.
I have a folder (on my desktop) and when I open that folder, I want to view the files inside that folder as small icons. So I open the folder, select View – small icons, then deselect “auto arrange”. Then I put the icons in just the order that I want them and everything is fine. I close the folder and re-open the folder, and the files are still displayed by icons and positioned just the way I want them. Great so far. But then the next day, when I open the folder, the folder is back to displaying the icons by “Details” and the files are back in the original order. Very annoying to say the least.
The files are MP3 for some daily listening, and after I listen to one, I want to move it down to the bottom. Then the next day I listen to the MP3 on top and then move that one down to the bottom. Worked fine with XP, but now with Vista, everyday the folder gets changed back to view by Details, and the files are back in original order. How can I keep Vista from automatically changing folder views back to Details and leave it on “Small icons (no auto arrange)”. I tried searching for the answer on the forum, but got an error that I don’t have permission to use the search function.
I have a public folder that has appeared on my desktop. I had updates to install, I did so, re-started and hey presto there it is. What now? I don't want it on my desktop but there are no options to move or delete it
View 7 Replies View RelatedA few months ago, I was messing around with the Windows indexing options , adding folders, etc. and it seems to have screwed up the way Search works. I often need to access Folder Options, and I found the easiest way to do this was by hitting the Start key and typing "Folder" since I'm used to "Launchy" type utilities. However, for some reason, Folder Options no longer appears as a search result. I've rebuilt the index several times and it still doesn't show up. Neither does Programs and Features. I haven't tested every Control Panel utility but these seem to be the only 2 so far that do not show up on Search.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem watching som of my images with different types ofprograms. This happens when I want to attach pictures to whatever I'm doing, i.e email, Ebay Turbo lister, and similar. If I can see the picture using Windows Explore I can attached it with out problems. I'm able to see all the pictures with Windows Photo Gallery - no problem. 99% of my pictures are edited with IrfanView 4.0 and are saved as .jpeg, .bit, and .gif. First I thought it was only files I had transfered from my XP desktop with a USB memory stick.
This is not the case. It happens even now with pictures I'm editing using IrfanView on my laptop. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not. I don't save my pictures in the default Windows picture folder - they are mostly saved in the folder of the program the will be using the picture, such as an picture folder in the Turbo Lister folder. I use Windows Explore a lot to drag pictures from one folder to another if needed be. Today I noticed a button on the Windows Explore which says: "Compatability Files". When I move the pointer over the button it says: "Show the compatability files for this directory". So, I clicked it and suddenly all the pictures I couldn't find were there. The problem is that all the pictures I could already see dissapered and so did the "Compatability Files button". The only way I could get back to the previous pictures was usingv the "Back" button. In both views there were files in different save format and files edited both on my Vista laptop and my XP desktop - no special pattern to this - some here, some there. Either way I can't find the so called "Compatability Files" when I want to use the pictures with different programs - I don't get an option to switch to the "Compatability Files" when trying to attach them to whatever I'm doing. Is there somewhere I can change some setting so I see the pictures all the time with any program I use?????
How can I fix the explore button Icon, it seems to be missing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI know the title doesn't make sense, here goes. I have Vista Basic and I installed a program named "Sudoku 600" in "C:Program FilesSudoku 600". I let the program generate a puzzle and then save it as "Puzzle 01.sud" in the program's folder. When I look in the folder, the file is not there. I can use the "Command Prompt" and do a 'dir' and it is not there. I can hit "CTRL F" and search for it and it is not there.
When I ask the program to load the file it IS there and it loads fine (no, it isn't in a database or somewhere else - there are other "*.sud" files in the folder that were put there by the program installation and each puzzle is a stand-alone file). I can use a program called "Agent Ransack" to search for it and the file is there and I can click on it within "Agent Ransack" and it opens fine. I have the Sudoku program on a Windows XP machine and the files are saved individually and show up in the folder. Why are they hidden in Vista and not XP?
I found a tweak on tweakvista a while back that changed explorer to always open in explore mode, so no matter what folder I opened, it was always in explore... in xp I changed this setting in folder options, under the folder types, but I can't find this setting anywhere - I have searched and searched, but I can't find this tweak again!

I did a scan for viruses and spyware, and my laptop is clean. My laptop works well with no other problems. My only concern is that neither System Restore or chkdsk work. Whenever I try to run System Restore, I get the message that it is unable to perform the task because of corrupted files. Is there anything else I can try short of doing a complete reinstall? I do not care to do a reinstall since I have no other issues with my computer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem getting a screensaver I made to run from the system32 folder. The screensaver is a .scr file, and it runs perfectly fine from any other folder when I double click it and what not. However, when I move it to my system32 folder and double click it, it just brings up a black screen.
The reason I have to have it in that folder is because I'm trying to use a sidebar gadget to display this screensaver on my desktop, and the gadget only accepts screensavers from the system32 folder.
