Is there any software for Win7 that will give the ability to organize files like XP did, eg drag & drop files in the order you want & then rename them in that order. I think this finished with Vista.

I want an order that is more useful to me, but everytime I drag them around, my favorites go back to alpha order when I reopen IE. I do not mean the drop down favorites list, I mean the bar across the top. IE*, Win 7.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince about Window 95 I've been able to right-click on the start menu and 'explore all users'. I use this to then go into the start menu for all users and organize the crap out of it into folders. In Windows 7, it's gone. OK, so I found where the start menu items are stored in: C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms, I can move items around to existing folders with 'administrator permission', I can create a new folder, but not rename it. There error I receive is something to the effect of 'The action can not be completed because the folder or file is open in another location'

System HP Desktop Compaq 500B MT with Windows 7 pro I have successfully downloaded and installed I.E. 9. and everything appears to work correctly. However when go to Favorites -> Organize favorites I get the message: "error 55, object doesn't support property or method New Folder'.This is not a serious problem but just may indicate other problems - hence I would like to fix it. I have downloaded a fresh copy of I.E. 9 and tried to install it but get the message that a later version is already installed.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit and im trying to install it for about 6 months. I installed it once but after one week,os is gone and stuck at classpnp.sys
Here are the steps i followed when trying to install; Selected Boot Menu > CD/DVD
Seen windows is loading files. Seen Starting windows but its gone before the 4 colored windows logo comes.
And endless black screen. I also tried to boot from dvd in safe mode.It hangs at disk.sys I checked rams. I have 1 gb x 2 rams.There is blue and brown sockets for rams on my motherboard.
Both of rams connected to blue ones.When i disconnect one of them pc opens but same issue. When i disconnect one of them and connect it to brown socket pc didnt opened.
I bought the upgrade Windows 7 Professional and did a custom install over my 32bit windows XP. The instalation/upgrade was perfectly successful. No problems there. I just have a question about the file called WindowsOld that was created when I did the custom instalation. It contains all the old files from XP (none of which I need) and its taking up a lot of space on my hard drive. May I delete this file without messing up windows 7, or are these old windows files necessary to run windows 7? I'd like to get rid of it and I'm afrade of messing things up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Pavilion dm4t-2100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, the OS with which it was installed. I am connected to a Homegroup which also contains a laptop and two desktops.I am able to connect through the network to the other laptop and remotely view files and devices on that laptop.However, I cannot see past the names of the two desktops. This means I cannot read or write files on or install devices connected to either desktop computer.The desktops can see each other and both laptops (R/W).The laptops can see each other (R/W), but neither one can see either desktop ("Cannot find the network path"; ping command fails).Is there a setting I can change either on the laptops or on the desktops to enable connectivity? All computers on the network are running genuine copies of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as their original OS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI (my wife) is running Windows 7 Home Premium (64). Windows explorer crashes when:
-Searching with more than 4 characters in the start menu
-Opening the Network and Sharing Center
-Various other times that seem unrelated
I have attempted:
-Startup repair X3 : it catches problems but doesn't repair them
-sfc /scannow command : also catches problems, and the CDA log shows all of the corrupted files.
-Copying the system32 files from a fresh windows install to fix the broken dll files while in another os : this didn't seem to have any affect
-System Restore doesn't have any images before the issue began
-Full system antivirus and malware scan and rootkit detection with no results showing (doesn't rule it out, but I used Norton commercial, Mbits, Lavasoft, and Kapersky online all in safemode, and some rootkit detectors)
-Repair Install : hangs when initiated
-Updating windows to SP1 : it seems the system attempted to update some time ago and failed or was interrupted. Now SP1 won't install, the updater hangs
-in an attempt to fix the windows update hanging issue, I tried:
-Installing the system update readiness tool (Download System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB947821) [September 2012] from Official Microsoft Download Center) : the update hangs too
-Installing the fix it program here (Fix the problem with Microsoft Windows Update that is not working) : didn't make a difference
-renaming the software center file as in this thread (Script or command to delete contents of Software Distribution folder?) and re-attempting to install sp1.
I (my wife) has some very expensive programs on her computer that we no longer have install discs for. She had them before we were married, but they seem to have been "lost in the move." We can probably work with each of the individual programs, but I'd sure like to look at other options that allow her to keep her file and program structure intact.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been working with I.T. for years, and when I went to a client's last night to share a drive over the network so they can install a program on a secondworkstation and use the database on the original machine. Anyway, sharing this drive shouldn't have taken me more than five minutes. However, I'm encountering problems I've never seen before. The Win7 PC sees the Vista PC on the network, but not any of the shared drives. And when I try to explore the Vista PC from the Win7 PC, I get an errors: ""Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (Vista PC) is not responding."Both PCs are on the same network, obviously, AV software and Windows firewall disabled on both, Homegroup off on Win 7 machine, both machines on same workgroup "WORKGROUP," set with static local IPs/DNS, etc., and both able to access network resources and the internet. One thing I HAVE noticed, however, is that when exploring the network on the Vista PC, I can't see anything (including the Win7 machine,) except the Vista PC itself and the router.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong? I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Even the SFC on the Vista PC didn't find any issues. I've checked the services, and all that should be running are set to Auto, and are started and running. I've looked for hours online, trying every possible option I can find, to no avail. I'm completely stumped! Never in my years in IT have I encountered this.
How do I get Windows 7 Windows Explorer to Open multiple files (of same type) in the SAME application window, like it did in Windows XP?
PAST
WinXP > Windows Explorer > Highlight File (jpg) > Open > Application Launches > Open 2nd File > Opens in SAME application window. Now I can work with both files in the same application.
NOW
Win 7 > Windows Explorer > Highlight File (jpg) > Open > Application Launches > Open 2nd File > Opens in NEW application window. I then have 2,3,4,..of the same application running. I want to open and work with the files within the SAME single application window. (using windows explorer)(like I did with XP).
How do I tweak Win7?
What is the terminology or registry area for this technical change? (so I can search better without so many common words)
Which files-- Excel (xls), Microsoft Paint (jpg), Corel Photo-Paint (jpg) >> seems like all applications that can open multiple files. It definitely seems like a change to the O/S. Same apps worked fine in XP.
(I would accept a single tweak to get Corel Photo-Paint JPGs to all open in the same app window. I want to go to windows explorer, click on JPGs, and have them all open in 1 instance of Corel Photo-Paint, or any application associated with JPGs.)
I purchased a used HP Laserjet 1012 from Nonprofit Technology Resources, a Philadelphia-based computer thrift store that trains people from less privileged backgrounds in computer diagnosis and repair. It did not come with a disk, but they assured me that drivers were available online. I tried and tried to get drivers but HP sends the download in a Zip file, which would have required a software purchase equal to the cost of the second hand printer.I have tried FileHippo, which wanted a credit card number, and WinRAR which wanted me to choose between a dozen different subscriptions and such. I returned to NTR, and they told me that they now had diskettes, one of which I got, but I am no further along. The CD certainly does not open up asking whether I want to run it, and the computer does not seem to recognize it as a set of drivers. I am wondering if I need to manually save it to a particular location and if so, what is that location?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my tower pc on constant all day- to record a streaming IP Camera from my work.Initially, I saved these files into my docutments- which they would save as .avi files, and after every several days I would delete them as they would take up ALOT of space on my pc.My pc is 250GB in size, and usually it would be about 80GB full before I had the IP Camera. Just recently, I noticed all of the IP Camera avi files seemed to have disappeared from my documents if I went directly to the folder... I could still see them in documents when I was choosing a location to save the recordings.Upon right-clicking the avi files in the latter, the files would be of no size and wouldn't play.Now my computer is 210GB full in the matter of a week.

When I edit a file from my Win 7 (pro, 64-bit) laptop, then go to edit it again, I get the version I had changed, but no one else does.

Even doing a manual sync seems to make no difference.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a system with 32gb DDR3-2400, a 256GB SSD and a couple of spinners. I have set up 4gb of the RAM to be used as another RAMdisk using the softperfect software. This problem has been going on for some time, but has been more of a problem since I started using the RAMdisk. Not because the RAMdisk itself isn't working well, because the stuff that is stored there keeps getting reset.I have pretty much identified that when updates are installed through windows update (either from Microsoft update or from my WSUS server), the following are reset to defaults
1. Pagefile is automatically managed and stored on the C: drive and is set to 32gb
2. The TEMP and TMP environment variables are reset to the C:users default location
3. The temporary Internet Files location is reset to the default C:users... location
There may be others that I have not discovered.I have manually set my swap file to 1024/2048 on the D: drive (a spinner), on the belief that it should rarely if ever be needed with a system equipped with 32GB of RAM. I'm certainly not inclined to waste 32GB of space on my SSD for an unused object.I have placed the TMP/TEMP files, cookies and Temporary Internet files on the RAMdisk to squeeze a little extra performance out of the system. (Yes, I know, I'm not really getting much benefit).Photoshop and a few other programs also use the RAMdisk as a scratch disk, and were the main reason I set it up in the first place.This is becoming a real pain when it gets reset as I have to manually change everything again. Anyone know a way to make windows leave settings at what I set them, instead of having it continually reset the values to what it wants? I'd prefer to have it my way. I know there will be proponents of "leave things as windows wants it".
I've tried this (Access denied to my files on another PC)and this How to Share File with Group and User Permissions in Windows XP and this How do I get round Windows 7's file permissions? - Microsoft Answers and this Change workgroup name in Windows 7? but I can't seem to get it to work.I have 3 pc's in my network. I've networked win2k machines with win98, 95, and XP, but this one has me stumped.
Machine 1 - Dell 2.66 running win7 32 bit. (M1)
Machine 2 - Generic 1.8 running win7 32 bit. (M2)
Machine 3 - HP i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz running win7 64 bit (M3)
They're all Home Premium. I can push or pull files from M1 to M2 and visa versa. But I cannot pull or push between M1 and M3. After several hours this morning I was able to have M3 pull from M2, but I could not push and I could not get M2 to push or pull from M3.I am at wits end. I have no idea why I was able to get M3 to pull from M2...all machines have the same settings.The error I get when pushing or pulling is: I'm not opposed to rechecking everything, perhaps it's something small, but I've been trying to get this to work for weeks and can't seem to figure it out on my own. I wish they' would have left things alone with the networking like win2k. Also, quick note, the workgroup name and the network name are the same.
have been setting up all the *.wma files on my music web site to stream as directed by *.wax files. everything was fine in XP Pro...but now I've gone over to Windows 7; & noticed that when I click on one of the *.wma's at my site...it doesn't stream...Windows 7 instead asks me if I want to open or save the file. no matter which option I choose...it treats it as a text file (opening the *.wax in 'Notepad')
