View 5 Replies View RelatedI have quite a few albums of photos that I've taken from vacations/parties/weddings. I have them all in the "My Pictures/Digital Camera" folder. I have the events setup as the subfolders names. I do not like to use Folder Task to set my view settings, and instead of changing the view settings one by one in each of the subfolder, is there a fast way so that I can apply the same folder settings to all my subfolders in "My Pictures/Digital Camera" without changing other folder's view settings?

View 6 Replies View RelatedFor weeks now I've been getting an RUNDLL error message that pops up after i restart my XP machine.It says "Error loading C:WINDOWSsystem32urmonsag.dll" Now I'm pretty sure that this has been thrown up by some sort of virus that has done a bit of damage in the past but for whatever reason I can't get rid of it.Has anyone come across this particular dll file or can anyone tell me a way of sorting it without having to download some sort of "Reg Cure" style program? I'm sure there must be a manual fix.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way to sort out a list of stuff into alphabetical order.The list is in notepad, but i could put it in RTF if that would help.Or into wordpad.
here's one that has me stumped. My right click option on one particular thing doesn't work. That particular thing being when I choose All Programs and then try to access a program by right clicking on it nothing happens. How I found this was I was going to "Sort by name" and get the programs in alphabetical order but I can't. In every other aspect the right click option works fine.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter a catalogue of other mistakes and errors, I've found myself in the following situation which I'm hoping one of you might be able to help with... I somehow managed to mess up my partitions so that when I used the Windows XP boot CD, it seemed to think there were two partitions, one which was unpartitioned space and another which was available. The unpartitioned space was actually my main XP partition with my current windows installation and all my files on it etc.
So - and this may have been a very silly thing to do - I went into recovery console and issued a 'fixboot' command. It succesfully did the fixboot, but then it didn't sort out my partitions. Now when I try to boot my computer, it keeps giving me the NTLDR Missing message.
When you move programs around in your WindowsXP start menu, the OS will stop arranging it when you add new software. This happens when you move items from your user start menu to the all users start menu. Here is the fix:1. Open regedit (Start -> Run. Type regedit)2. Navigate to Remove the order key by right clicking and going to delete.4. Log out then back in.I wish they would include a feature that was in Windows 2000 that let you resort the start menu!
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy "Recycle Bin" will not display the files within it with the correct filters while in the "Details" view.For example, I have the "View" set to "Details", and the two columns I have showing are "Name" and "Type", with "Name" selected as the preferred sort order.With those settings in place, the "Recycle Bin" is not displaying the files in the correct order.I am not sure of the order that it is displaying them, as I can't pick-up on any pattern.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've noticed an error in the sorting of files in Windows Explorer. It
appears that after the filename gets to be a certain size, it no longer uses
just the actual sorting of the filename, but starts to consider the size of
the filename.
Example - These files get sorted in this order:
ExtraWork0507.xls
ExtraWork05031.xls
ExtraWork05032.xls
ExtraWork05041.xls
ExtraWork05042.xls
ExtraWork05052-050601.xls
If you change the file "ExtraWork0507.xls" to be named "ExtraWork05071.xls", it shows after "ExtraWork05052-050601.xls" file as expected (but maybe if this bug was consistent, these two would show in the reverse order). If you change the "ExtraWork05041.xls" file to be named "ExtraWork0504.xls", it shows above the "ExtraWork0507.xls" file.Haven't tested enough to see at what file name length this behaviour occurs.
I'll leave it up to Microsoft to do the extensive testing on this, but we have a couple applications that process the files in a directory, expecting them to be in alphabetical order, and this may affect others with similar applications as well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a recurring problem on Folder Views / Folder Types that has been bugging me for a long time. You can customize a folder with a "folder type" - Documents, Pictures, Music, Video, etc - which comes with a default view and a list of default attributes most relevant to the type (artist and album title for music, dimension for video, etc). You can also setup so that the settings are "memorized". However, the memory seems to be quite short term for some of my folders. They tend to randomly reset themselves and there seems to be a consistent but unrecognizable pattern. For example, my "My Documents" folder is always changed to a pictures folder, while some of my music folders are changed to video
