You need permission to perform this action
For the past couple weeks, I've noticed that some of the files I try to
delete claim that I don't have permission to delete them. First of all,
all of the files on my computer have been installed on the only account
currently on the computer. Second, I have full administrative rights, so
there should be no problem deleting files from anywhere. I'm completely
stumped on how to get rid of any of th...

when creating folder or deleting files explorer freezes
Whenever I create a new folder the explorer screen freezes. Nothing else
freezes. I have to go to task manager and end the task. When I get back to
Explorer the new folder is there. I also have the same issue when I create a
desktop short cut or try to delete the desktop shortcut. When I delete a
directory I get a message box stating recycling 1 item. I don't think it's

Get rid of System Volume Information
This was posted on Vista.general.discussion
for a couple of days ago.
I have an old system disk with XP which I moved to
the E-drive when I installed Vista on a new disk.
Everything of the OS on the old XP disk is deleted
with the exception of this System Volume Information.
I´ve taken the ownership and is now allowed to look into
the folder. But no way of deleating it.
No usable answe...

STOP Vista automatic folder expansion in Win Explorer?
I often want to move files from right pane of Win Expl to a different
folder shown in the left pane. However, as I drag the file into the left
pane, if I'm not "right on" the folder I want, the folder under the
mouse will quickly expand. This "loses my place" and I have to collapse
the expanded folder and try again. Frustrating!
There is a slight delay before the unwanted folder opens, but not l...

File search/delete in Vista is hopeless
1. I try searching for files in a directory structure with .de. in the
filename by entering .de. in the search field in Windows Explorer. I not
only get files with .de. in the filename but also files whose names don't
match the search string, such as mozart-hrn3-defs.ily or decimal.py. If I
use quotes (".de.") as the search string then it correctly finds only .de.
files. Why should the q...

How search for a file that contains (3) in the title?
I am trying to locate files that have (3) in their title. But when I search
for (3) in the search bar, it returns any files that have 3 in the title, and
ignores the parantheses.
I tried quotes, but that returned nothing.
Just to be clear, I want this search to find a file named "Johnson file (3)"
but NOT a file named "123 Main St."

Public folders problem!
Okay, I don't know what I was thinking when I did this, but all the
folders in my Public folder are gone. Deleted and emptied. Now I can't
change the names on any folders (but I can on files.. I don't know if
this is a different problem) or install anything. Is there anyway to get
these back without reinstalling Vista? I don't want to really lose all
my files (I also deleted my backup so I could ...

Vista indexer eating up HDD space
I have a 100GB partition that I keep Vista Ultimate x64 on with all my
installed programs. It normally only takes up roughly 40GB of the
100GB. Yesterday I got a hard drive full warning and I cleared restore
points to recover some space. Using WinDirStat I found that the folder

New user here so I apologize if this has been answered somewhere that i have

about the file. It is available but most all files don't present a "summary"

to use that to store the check points... otherwise i have to delete all
of my restore points ever few days.....

Windows Size
Hi,
In the past few weeks most of the windows will not keep either size and
position in the screen, nor will they keep the way they are suppose to be
viewed, they were keeping it since I installed Vista.
I can no longer use the restore system, since it has been too long since the
problem started, I thought that a simple rebooting as it used to work,
would this time around, but it di...

Windows Search not working correctly
Since reinstalling Vista and having done all the updates and let the index
run fully using the defaults, I've discovered an issue which is rather odd.
If I do a search for a file from the Start Menu's, Search box, I get 'No
items match your search'.
If I do the same search from Windows Explorer I find the file immediately!
Any ideas how to solve this? ...

Grooming Windows Vista backups
Hi all...
I'm having problems with a client running Windows Vista backup. Their
external backup drive to which Vista is backing up data is filling up. Is
there any way to tell Vista to "groom" the data, removing older data to keep
the drive afloat? Or, is there way to have Vista completely reset the entire
backup set on a regular schedule?
Thank you!

Whenever I look for a file using Vista explore, as soon as the file tree opens, the "user" file is always open. This takes up a lot of room.

However, when I "right click, delete" on any Shortcut Icon, I am
