When I entered photos into new Vista machine, I entered many duplicates. (they were stored on multiple CDs. and often in duplicate). Is there a way to ask that duplicates be eliminated? Otherwise I have to manually go through hundreds of photos to delete.
View 4 RepliesI've been using Vista and Windows mail since February with no problem. But today I encountered a problem. When I download my email, I get the first 5 or six messages over and over and get an error message that it can't receive the remaining 8 messages.

When I go to Contacts via the "Contacts" icon in Windows Mail I get the Contacts File I thought was the one Win Mail was using but it has many more entries (a good thing) and does not have any duplicates. I want Win Mail to use this Contacts File and get rid of the "old/leftover/??" file it is using. The good Contacts File is stored in C:>Users>Ken>Contacts. I don't know where Win Mail is gettting the other file. At one time I had my wife and I both receiving mail to my account. I have since set her up with a separate account.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEmails are sent and arrive in my Windows Mailbox fine. I then create a folder and drag them to that folder no problems. When I create a subfolder however, and start dragging emails into the subfolder I find that the 1st email is fine but every subsequent one has been corrupted. That is to say that in each case the email content is erased and replaced with a duplication of the 1st email in that subfolder. Go figure. The email titles don't change so if you open the subfolder you
wouldn't realise what has happened.
It is only when you open each successive email that it becomes apparent that the content of every email has become identical. *Windows Mail folders: 1 email duplicates itself over all others in a folder, thereby erasing email content of all others* This was previously posted by two others and I have exactly the same problem.
In my "Windows Mail" folder there are regularly hundreds of messages that are unopenable and they seem to be duplicates of messages in other folders under "Local Folders" that are easily readable. What are these messages and how can I get rid of them? There are several thousand of them on my wife's computer and I don't want to get that kind of clutter on mine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows Vista Ultimate x64, and I have a strange problem with the "Documents" folder. I noticed that all of the Files present in my Documents folder are also present in the "Users" directory. Along with them and a few hidden folders is a folder called "Mitch" (my windows logon name). Now, I know that there should be this folder in here, but why are all these other Documents files outside of it? When I go into Mitch there is another Documents folder (alongside Videos,
Pictures, etc) which contains all of those same files. And in this one there is another Mitch containing another Documents containing these files again! However there is no Mitch folder inside this last one, so it isn't an infinitely recurring loop of shortcuts.
Now, you might think that these are just shortcuts, but I have checked and there are definitely *three* copies of these files taking up space on my computer...............
