File In The SendTo Folder Nothing Happens
Feb 23, 2009
As per an example I created a batch file with the following line: DIR %1 /O >LPT1: I placed the file in the SendTo folder but nothing happens when I right click a folder PrintDir.bat which is the name of the file.

Although I see the mapimail link in the SendTo folder, it no longer shows up when I right-click an item.
I created a guest account: in that account, it is still functioning.
I tried to copy the mapimail link of the guest account and paste it in the main account (just in case it was corrupted): nothing!
The possible cause being that I changed the default association of the .mapimail files from "unknown application" to Thunderbird, I tried to restore it to "unknown application", but nothing happened.
I tried some other solutions from other threads as well as from other sites, but I didn't get to a solution.

In Windows Vista Ultimate SP1, every system drive (partition) is listed in my SendTo menu even though the C:Users\%USERNAME%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsSendTo folder only contains the following (defaults):Compressed (zipped) folder Desktop (create shortcut) Fax Recipient Mail Recipient I my case there are 14 drives including A;, C:, D:, etc. The SendTo menu is too busy.Is there any way to get rid of the list of drives in SendTo?

When i try and change the name of any folder, new or old, i get an error message that says "the file or folder does not exist" . i have tried every registry fix, download, settings change that i can find, and nothing helps. i have tried the fix on the microsoft site as well, but to no avail. if there is any ideas out there as to why the fixes that seem to be working for other people aren't working for me, they would be much appreciated. i am running vista business x 32 on a lenovo laptop. the operating system came preinstalled. i cannot recall any particular event that may have caused this...

Why won't Vista allow me to remove a folder and a file in the folder for a program that no longer exists on my system. Vista says I need permission?! I even tried deleting it in safe mode.

I 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 am using a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop with Vista Home Premium SP2. I have a folder that contains corrupted files. I am not able to delete the files or the folder. I ran chkdsk, and this would not complete because of the corrupt files. I then ran chkdsk /f, and this did not correct the problem. I tried Unlocker, and this was not able to delete the files. 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.

I'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.

Two machines on my network, Mine is Vista 64 and my wifes is Vista 32.
My wife machine has Network descovery on File sharing on (does NOT say a password is required) Public folder sharing on (anyone with network access can open, change
and create).
The public folder share property confirms "everyone" has access write delete access.and If I ask her machine to show me all shared folders - it shows the "public" one.
When look in network places on my machine - I see hers, but when I tray and access I am prompted for password. If I give her machines Admin password (it used to be my machine) I get in to see and access the public folder.
Why is the public folder on her machine not accessible without a password?
Sorry for such a noob question - but it does not seem sensible behaviour.

when i click on a file to delete it, it comes up with this ---> "The... folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted." I think I have deleted these files a while ago but when i search for them they show up as 0 bytes. I tried - creating a new folder with the same name and putting those files in and then deleting them, but doesn't work. I tried Hijack this and delete on reboot, can't open as file does not exist for deletion. don't post solutions that are stupid please such as: have you tried right click and delete

this happened around one year ago before i discovered this site.. one day i clicked on start and on the music tab.. then an error occurred.. it says that the file location cannot be found. then i browsed 'my computer' there i saw that there are two files separated, a file location with the icon of the music folder, and one with simply a folder icon.. after five days, same thing happened with the my documents folder.. the separate file with the folder icon contains every single file of the "REAL" icon. while the other one has nothing in it.. same with the music icon..

I performed a "search" for a portion of a name of an encryption program that we deleted from our computer because it didn't appear to be fully compatible with vista, even tho the creators said it was (they did admit tho that they didn't test it)...the "search" turned up 335 items, most of which were "image files". We cannot delete the thumbnails because it says the file or folder has been deleted. These items came up as search results in indexed locations. we tried to go to the location and delete that way with no luck.

I have reciently started to use windows vista and am now very familiar with all parts of it but there is one problem I wish to find out more about. In windows XP the "My Documents folder was lacated in a very logical place, on vista it is just called "Documents" and is arranged differently. My images and music etc are seperate from Documents folder and are all subfolders in my user profile. My question is: Is this path for Documents folder correct or should it be located in another place: "C:UsersUsers NameSaved GamesDocuments ?

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

My computer crashed & I had to repair the system. The User that I entered is "xxxxxx". When I restored my backup files to their original location my mail box, which I had relocated from its default location to "Documents", reinstalled to the user name of my original installation "xxx". I then started Windows Mail and selected the mail box to that location. However when I try to restart Windows Mail I get the following "Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to openthe Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mailmailbox data is currently being used by another program...............(0x800C0155)"When I click OK I get a window showing "Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized. Is there a solution other than repairing Vista again?

When I turned my computer on today it seems that all of my filenames have 'disappeared' - the files are still called the same that I named them, but instead of them showing the titles, they either show the date modified or only certain details. I mainly have music on my hard drive, and now the folder looks like this:
As you can see, on the left in the folder tree, the path is showing up, the files are still there etc, but instead of the track titles, there is now only the artist and album? I have tried shift and view, tried different views, tried changing the folder view to pictures and videos etc, I have also completely scanned the drives and there doesn't seem to be any problems? Under 'folder options' I have tried showing all extensions etc, showing hidden files, different customizing of views:...........

Is there any way to format folder file display for a group of folders (or subfolders) in file manager? I need to be able to do this to display my contacts properly, for example. It looks like you can either format file inforamation display for all the folders or an individual folder (one-at-a-time), but not a group of folders. If this is true, why?

I am trying to help someone running Vista Home Premium setup his network to share files and folders with his XP Home laptop. Oddly enough, there are no share options AT ALL. No share buttons or no share options in the context menus -- NOTHING. We've named the network and simply went out to share a printer (which we have the option to share) but it turns itself off. Same in Network and Sharing Center. We turn the options ON and then turn themselves OFF. We've done all the rebooting, etc. and still no go. I have gone through all the disabling of the UAC and ownership and permissions, et. al. but, can't get anywhere without the SHARE OPTION being available. Is his install of Windows Vista Home Premium broken or needing to be reinstalled? Could that be the problem? Could it have been setup improperly? I have successfully done this before on my Vista Business computer and my XP Pro laptop and although i did have a few 'permission' problems, they were at least workable.

Forgive me, but I am new to Vista and Windows Live Mail. I set up my Contacts folder by importing addresses from Outlook Express (.wab file). However, when creating a message from within Windows Live Mail, not all of the Contacts are shown there. I placed the Contacts folder on my desktop for easy access, and when I look there, the addresses that I am missing are shown. It's as if the Windows Live Mail software is using another Contacts folder. I checked the Options tab under Tools to see if the address source requires identification, but could not find such a reference.
