View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista Ultimate on one PC and XP Pro SP2 on another. I am the only user and have full admin rights on both (I checked) They are connected by a wired home network. I can see and browse the XP PC from the Vista PC, install programs from the XP PC onto the Vista PC - no problem BUT.... when I am using the Vista PC and try to copy a file across from the XP PC I can see the file appear in the Vista folder (using drag & drop) but then I get the dreaded "Destination Folder Access Denied....You need permission to perform this action" you can only click 'RETRY.'or 'CANCEL'....of course RETRY just repeats the error window and Cancel removes the file that you have dropped into the destination folder. As I am the owner with full rights over the folder, does anyone know what this message means and how to set whatever 'permission' is required?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI edit my external HD sometimes to change names of my files & I get this message.
Destination Folder Access Denied, then I have to click Continue, then in user accounts control it says windows needs your permission to continue & I have to click Continue again. XP didn’t give me this run around, what’s the deal with Vista? I’ve searched but can’t find a fix for this.
I’m the Admin & can’t understand why Vista is treating me like a child & making me double check what I tell it to do. Isn’t my computer a PC or is it now owned by Vista!! That’s frustration coming out but I have other small issues about user unfriendly Vista where XP was user friendly.
I have Vista Home Premium, I am trying to add a Maxtor Shared Stroage II 320 GB Hard drive that is networked connected. I have installed the supplied software. The drive is up and running.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a new laptop with Vista Ultimate SP1. I gave my daugther an limited (user?) account on it so she could play some of the games. Every program I install also installs its icons on her desktop. Today I tried deleting the icons off her desktop and I get "Destination Folder Access Denied" and "You need to confirm this operation." The "Continue" button has a little shiedl sign on it, and it does absolutely nothing if I click on it. I can't seem to find anything in the help and Googling doesn't seem to turn up something specific. How do I delete program icons off her desktop?
Then, I have also noticed that there is a red shield in her taskbar area. I click on it and it has Windows Security Alerts (that I don't have on my userid when I log on to this computer). One issue in the Security Center says "Malware protection - Check Settings." There it says that Windows Live OneCare is active, but that Windows Defender and Spyware Doctor reports that they are turned off. FIrstly, I don't have this issue on my userid, secondly, I can't turn it on, it says her userid doesn't have sufficient authority
I have 2 Vista machines...one behaves somewhat normally, but another that doesn't want to play nice. I can access the Internet, ping local XP machines, but when I try to access several NON-PC machines that are wireless...that is where the trouble begins. I am just trying to ping that machines locally and they wont respond fully. I mean, they don't time-out...then just give the dreaded "Destination Host is Unreachable" which is not true as other machines on the network can see them.I have tried to add ARP entries manually (which it won't let me do) It is driving me bonkers and I have been looking high and low for a solution. It just doesn't make any sense to me, especially since I have another machine that works just fine

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have three PCs in my house running Vista. Before installing SP1, allof them would routinely go to sleep automatically, as per the powermanagement settings. Since installing SP1, they continue running without ever going into sleep mode. I can still enter sleep mode manually, which works fine, it's just the automatic sleep that won't work.Only software in common across all three machines (other than Vista)is Office 2007 and Windows Live OneCare. Both were installed prior to installing SP1.

I 've changed the avi files to open with wmp and i have also set associate file type to wmp in default programes. Still wmp will not open avi's when i double click on them nothing happens not even an error code appears? i have to drag and drop the avi files to get wmp to play them.
This may seem like a minor inconvenience but it's still an inconvenience, this only applies to avi files for some reason?
Before SP1 was installed, whenever I created a new folder, and then clicked on the folder icon while I was changing the name from "New Folder" to whatever (or pressed <ENTER>), I would immediately go into that folder, so that I would not have to double-click it to go in. Since I installed SP1, this is not happening. Is there any way of re-enabling this feature?
