I have Windows Vista and Windows Mail. When I purchased the computer a little over a year ago, I imported mail from Outlook Express. In Windows Mail, I had set up several folders that directly receive incoming mail: Inbox, Business, Junk Mail, and 3 subfolders (for individual personal emails) WITHIN Deleted folder.
So mail that goes directly into the 3 subfolders WITHIN the Delete folder are deleted permanently at will by me with no secondary step as a safeguard as they are already within the Delete folder.
When I delete mail from Inbox, Business and Junk folders, they move to the main Delete folder and stay there until I permanently delete. No mail in Delete folder or subfolders is set to permanently delete automatically. Further, in Advanced Properties of each folder, no copies were being saved to Server.
so the other day I accidentally messed up something with the properties of all of my folders.... In the attributes I must have clicked on something, not sure what, but now I'm missing a great deal of information.... I tried doing a system restore, but it has only brought back a few things but not everything....
I have lost one of my storage folders in Windows Live Mail. Don't know why. This folder is there under Storage Folders for Windows Live Mail: C:Users\AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail, but it does not show up in the Mail program.
All of a sudden the folders on the left hand side of the screen have disappeared. (i.e. In box, sent items, out box etc.) I can bring them back manually everytime I log on to Windows Mail, but they used to appear automatically when I start up and this is not happening for some reason. I have had Windows Mail for two years now.
Up until yesterday I had my emails sorted into folders. I used Rules and had mail go into selected folders for friends, family, work etc.Last night windows email froze. When the computer restarted and I opened up Windows mail, for some reason the folders have disappeared and the emails contained in the the folders with them.
i have some folders I created on my desktop (so i could transfer pics,vids, mp3s from an external drive) Now i do not wish for them to be there so i delete them and about 5secs or so they appear again?
Permanently Deleted Folder and the folder below disappeared. how to recover. I also set up a couple of test folders after this happened and moved to deleted file. When permanetely deleting 1 folder it deletes the folders below and they seem gone forever. Searched for emails and folders and they are gone. Must be on the drive somewhere (forensics?)
Vista Home Prem 32bit..... I used the "search" feature to look for something and the results displayed several Folders & Files I had deleted some time back. When I right clicked on these items that had been deleled...I got the message, The item cannot be found.....make sure the Folder exists....check that the path is correct.....Or similar words. I would expect to see the message appear appear because the items don't exist.....but why did the search display them? Is there a way to clean emove them so they don't show up on future Searches?
I downloaded a highly rated registry cleaner from CNET (download.com) and ran it on my Vista Ultimate (x32) laptop. When I rebooted many of the programs I had installed were missing from the start menu. All the programs are still there in C:/Programs but the folder listings are all gone in the start menu. Is there a way to restore all these? I did a system restore but that didn't fix the Start menu issue.
How can I stop my deleted items folder being deleted when I shut down windows mail? I would rather keep the messages for a while before I delete the folder.
Awhile back I was given instructions on how to change the folder standard green folders to new pink folders. Well, my computer crashed out and I had to get a new hard drive. I tried to follow the instructions from the previously solved thread, but I can not find the "desktop.ini". When I go to the users folder inside my choices are Administrator and Public and I can not find the "desktop.ini" file. I have windows vista.
i have two folders in my startup menue that i want to delete:
Autostart
Verwaltung
i tried to delete them (right click > delete). but when i restart my computer the folders are there again: how can i get vista to stop renewing those damn folders.
I've been using Windows Mail for 18 months without any significant problems.
Now, when I delete an email from my "Inbox," it does NOT appear in my "Deleted Items" folder. It just seems to disappear. I did read many of the earlier posts and have tried the suggestions. I've gone to Tools>Options>Advanced>Maintenance - the "Empty messages from the Deleted Items folder on exit" is NOT checked. I've also gone to Current View "Show all messages" - that's identified/checked. Is there something else that I can do? I'd appreciate any suggestions. This is the first time I've used the Discussion Group, so I hope that I'm doing this correctly.
I am running a Vista 64-bit platform with a VMware guest, using Vista 32-bit. Although I have Windows Defender running in the guest system, I have not had any anti-virus software (I use McAfee on the host system). Last night, I downloaded and installed the AVG-free anti-virus software for the guest system. It was working as intended when I shut down the computer.
This morning, in booting to the guest system, there is no AVG software in sight. The downloadable program from AVG is not even found in the Downloads folder! Windows Defender is still operable, and telling me that I do not have an anti-virus program installed.
How do I share a folder and all its sub-folders and files? When I enable sharing on a folder, I cannot access it from my XP box. I see it in the network but I cannot access it. I turned off Password Protection in Vista.
I am just configuring Windows Mail in Vista. In Outlook (on XP), I had multiple email accounts linked to different folder structures. Each account had a different set of folders. In Windows Mail, it seems everything is being downloaded into one Inbox. Can I re-create the separate folders for each email account in WinMail?
Also, my gmail accounts folder structure was synchronized with the folder structure on the web using IMAP. Can I do that in WinMail, too? If so, how (or point me to directions)?
I backed up my files onto CD (work files). Made a number of CDs. I'm on dell inspiron 9300, w/ xp and did an upgrade to vista using an in place install. My understanding was that the programs AND files were to be carried over onto the new OS. All of my programs and applications stayed. But my files...gone! can't find any of them. And all but one of my CDs are good--except that for some reason the most important files are in an empty folder on one of the CDs, many months worth of work related documents- I must have messed it up when backing it up. Is there anyway to find the files that vista was supposed to keep? I picked up an external hard drive today when I realized how little space I had left but not soon enough to use it to back up before.
while surfing online i was looking into some language converter tools when my system hanged.. i manually shut down the system by holding the power button.. But since then on starting, my desktop and taskbar have disappeared.. however m able to access everything from task manager..
I looked onto 1 of the treads which had the solution to such a problem and changed the value of shell in the registry to explorer.exe.. However even then my desktop is not appearing on start up .. Only when i start a new process from task manager "explorer.exe", then my desktop appears..
I bought a new ASUS M51SN laptop last month running Windows Vista. I have subsequently loaded MS Office 2003, Skype, Norton SystemWorks and NERO8. I recently upgraded Vista with SP1, Nero, Skype and Norton to their latest versions and the ASUS Bios to 304. While I had a number of software problems prior to these upgrades, I placed my faith in the Vista upgrade, but am still left with a number of irritating problems.
My DVD burner has disappeared from Windows and Norton while Nero is still happy to test it (Diskspeed). The device manager says everything is good, but I cannot see the DVD in either Windows Explorer or My Computer. In the event log, I can see that the unit has encountered a number of bad block events, as well as a number of errors during a paging operation...............
Yesterday just before switching off I noticed that SP2 was available via Windows Update. As I was going to bed, I thought I would leave it until today to install it. When I go to Windows Update, SP2 is no longer offered, although some other updates were. SP2 hasn't been installed, so where has it gone? Will it be offered again?
I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook with Vista Home Premium. The computer is just over a year old and the Pioneer DVDRW drive (DR-KD08HB) just stopped working. It no longer appears under Device Manager or Windows Explorer and the disk tray won't even open. I've had no problems with this drive before, it just seemed to die on me yesterday after I inserted a CD (which I can't retrieve). I ran the Microsoft Fix it 50027 but nothing happened. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?
I have just installed vista onto a laptop using the dvd drive, but when it was all installed it hasn't seemed to install the dvd drive as it doesn't appear on my computer or device manager, just wondered if anyone knows a solution, I have tried to do the regedit thing but the files that need deleting aren't even there, want to put xp back on as the network adapter isn't working either as i think that it isn't compatible with Vista but can't seem to do it as when i try rebooting with the cd in the laptop isn't finding it, even when i got to setup to try and change boot default there is no cddvd drive option there
I have a E systems Laptop and recently the DVD/CD Rom drive disappeared from the list on my computer as well as on device manager. It briefly said that drivers had been instaled and it appeared on my computer, then i put in a CD and DVD and it jut did not work. i have already uninstalled itunes!
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and basically my files keep disappearing. I have saved them in the same way I used to on Windows XP: I create some text files - straight forward Windows Word Processor - when I had about 6 I created a folder and dragged and dropped them into it. I uploaded photos which were also put in a folder and CDs likewise. After a period of 2 days to 2 weeks the CD uploads had disappeared and now after 1 month my text files and lots of picture files have also vanished, leaving behind the folders I created empty. The 'Sample Pictures' that came ready installed have also gone. Obviously I want to store things on the hard drive,
