View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I open windows explorer menu it opens at a smaller window size then I'd like it to, so I resize it and close it but the next time that I open it from right clicking on the start menu and choosing explore, it opens at the same position and small size and isn't holding the window resizing that I did... What I've tried so far to make the window size "stick":
1. Use the Windows Explorer "ALT" key to bring up the File menu at the top of the explorer and choose "close" after resizing my Explorer window.
2. Made sure that the "Remember each folder's view settings" is checked. I've also unchecked it, chose apply, then recheck marked it and chose apply just in case it needed refreshing.
3. Used the "X" button at the top right of the window to close it after resizing it to the size that I want. And finally
4. Chose the upper left corner menu (the one with Restore, Minimize, Move, Close in it) and chosen Close...............
I recently puchased a new laptop and unfortunately had to get Vista or it would have cost me more (for XP), and I am not happy with it, am not happy with the things I've heard, and I'm having a difficult time learning it. Every day I have a new question and sometimes more than one a day. lol the problem I'm having now is that IE (7) is not saving all of my passwords. I mistakenly put the wrong password in a forum I've belonged to for quite some time and of course I was prompted to ask if I wanted to save it and I answered yes, not realizing it was wrong. Well, now, every day I type in my "correct" password and I'm told it's wrong because IE is remembering the incorrect password and not prompting me after I put in the correct one.
View 9 Replies View RelatedVista Home Premium x64, Office XP with Service Pack 3. I set up my Outlook? 2002 (10.6515.6626) to do my email but it will not remember my passwords. Every time I open the program it tells me I need to enter my password. I do so and I check the box to remember the password. It does the same thing when I go to send an email. It does the same thing if I go in through "Tools - E-mail accounts" and set the mailboxes up all over again. It will not remember my passwords.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have had my computer almost a year, no Windows Mail issues til now. I have Vista Home Premium. I went to check mail today on Windows Mail and all of my passwords would not store any longer. I get a windows security pop up for each account to put in the logon info, I do, click store info, ok. I put them back in, checked mail ok, but when I closed Windows Mail and restarted it, same problems. When I put the passwords in the Accounts section and hit APPLY, they disappear again once I reopen it. I have deleted the accounts and put them back in, same problems. I check 6 accounts at once too, so it is a major pain in the butt to input every one each time like this. It is not my antivirus program either, I have used the same one for a year with no problems until today. This morning it all worked fine, now it the passwords will not save.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAre the save password check boxes missing from your network authentication screens? This is one of the most annoying issues with Windows Vista for me since I work off a local NAS I have at home all the time. Rather than just save my password as it should the first time when I checked the save password box, it seems to throw my password away after a reboot. If that was not enough, now Windows Vista no longer even gives me the option to save my password.
One easy way to fix this issue and store my passwords for real is the use the Stored Usernames and Passwords utility. Follow these steps: ...
1. My computer does not remeber any web-site passwords for Facebook, or forum's that I subscribe to. I check mark remember me on the next login, but my on my next log-in maybe later in the day, I have to re-enter my login and password again.
2. when my laptop shuts down it make that shut downjiggle music, and I guess it does shut down, but maybe 1/2 hr later, and no-ones touched my laptop it makes that shut down jiggle again. Ghosts or what? Maybe I have a virus on my laptop, what do you guys think?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Home Premium on an Acer Laptop and all was fine until I decided to change my user password. I had or have (who knows now at this stage) an Administrator,User and HDD password installed on my machine. I went into my setup and changed my user password from set to clear but left my other passwords at set. when I exited and saved changes and rebooted I could not get back in with any and all passwords. To make things worse I cannot boot from cd either. It goes to press <F2> go to setup , Enter Current Password: ? then Invalad password I have tried the F10, F12, Del, F5, F8 keys and nothing seems to get past that login screen. Does anyone have any inexpensive suggestions on how I can get into this computer, or how I can get to a command prompt. Can I un-solder the internal Battery and then re attach it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has been locked out of his Dell laptop and cannot find the password for the single account that it has. The laptop has Vista Ultimate installed on it and I am unable to activate the hidden administrator's account to get into Vista. Other investigations using other software shows only 2 accounts, Administrator and Guest but not the actual user single account that shows up onto the login screen. ( I have managed to blank out the Administrator and Guest passwords ) I have a standard Vista Recovery Disk , but I am unable to either repair or re-install Vista from the Dell hidden partition , and the only alternative is to install a unused retail version of Vista Home Premium that my friend has been given awhile ago. I have 2 questions
1) Is the Vista Ultimate user account passwords located in a different place as compared to other versions of Vista?
2) if I install this retail version of Home Premium on the Dell laptop, will I have problems with the propriety hardware that is on the Dell laptop and would I need to find all the Dell drivers for the laptop?
