So whenever I create a folder anywhere inside the Program Files sub-folders, it automatically becomes a locked folder, this is annoying on a few different levels, but mainly because I can't figure out how to tell it to be a regular, not-locked folder. Another problem I'm having is that one of my...

This seems really simple, and makes me feel pretty stupid, but I want to search for folders with a certain name without getting all the contents of the folders in the search results. I've tried just entering the folder name, I've tried the 'foldername:' property, I've tried using the...

Hi all, I hope you can help me with a little problem. For some reason, when I go open 'Music' in libraries, it doesn't show all files together, instead it lists the location so it appears like: My Music (1) C:\users\me Playlists Public Music (2) C:\users\public Museeqa 3arabiya Sample...

Can anyone pls tell me how to put a folder full of shortcuts in the upper part of the desktop. On XP was easy - you just take the folder and move the mouse up as high as possible and than the folder stays like an upper taskbar with shortcuts that can hide. On Vista was quite not so easy but i...
