Hi: I have or had multiple files and documents backed up on several computers and hard drives. They are in folders, in subfolders, in subfolders. Over the years they've been copied from computer to computer and through various external drives. Recently some documents have vanished from D...

I find it an extreme annoyance. I would like to find a file manager that "virtually" strips out the entire roster of about 30+ redundant and unnecessary folders, and simply leaves a minimalist file tree. I can create three or four sub-directories for my particular tasks without the insane...

I am using WIN 7 Ultimate and have a folder (FOLDER-A) containing about 160 .HTM documents and their corresponding FILES folders from documents I have downloaded from the internet. I am trying to sort these by name within the containing folder (FOLDER-A) so that each .HTM document appears next...

I've posted a couple of questions in the past regarding hard drive problems, but not quite like this one. Due to the fact that my Windows 7 installation has become especially sluggish lately, I've been looking at a number of possibilities for dealing with it, including a clean installation of...

Im confusing myself on these ntfs permissions. Is there an easy way to allow a specific group rw access to one file in a folder full of other files but only have ro access on all other files...without changing the permissions on each file? The problem I have is we have a folder organized...

I just bought a new 1TB hard drive for my laptop and would like to install Windows 8 on it. On the existing 250 MB hard drive, I now have thousands of photos organized by tags in Windows Photo Gallery which came with the Vista operating system. I know I won't lose any photos when I make the...

Hi. I recently purchased a WD Live TV Hub. To my chagrin, I am discovering that in order to use the Media Library option on the hub, I am needing to go into the library in Windows Media Player on my PC and do some serious housecleaning. Currently I use iTunes as a music player on my PC. Any...

I'm running Win 7, 64 bit. Being someone who just completed a research-intense Masters degree, you'd think I would have thought of this a long time ago. Are there any ways to add a very obvious banner to the top of a folder that you can type in details/instructions/information about that...

I've done some research and cannot find a procedure to copy a folders Label settings to all embedded folders. There is a function to copy a folders type to embedded folders such as select 'Music' and apply that to all embedded folders but nothing for copying Label settings. Example: Say I...

Link Removed How did they expect people to drag and drop a new folder without adding it to an existing one? No one can tell me they weren't going out of their way to make this as bad as possible. "List" is the only view that doesn't have these god damn rectangles, but then it's just one big...

Hi, I have 2 users defined to my W7 computer, lets say Jack (administrator) and Jill (normal user). Both users have had their "My Documents" moved to a second disk drive E: as "Jack's Documents" and "Jill's Documents". Recently (I first noticed it on 26th August) both users started to see two...

Hi all! I have an ultra book with 128GB. I also have a 1TB NAS drive on my network. I want to go through and archive old personal data files and move the archives to the NAS drive. I don't want to totally get rid of it. I know I can just move over want I don't want to keep on my computer...

Hi all, While using Windows XP, I used TweakUI to get the directories I frequently used with a minimum of fuss. The default options just didn't cut for me. At first, I thought the Libraries feature would be useful on Windows 7 but in my experience, they're more trouble than they're worth. What...

Hi, Using Windows 7. Go to start Username "Joe". My User folder "Joe" is a subgroup of Libraries. I think the folder organization is messed up and probably the reason I can't get MediaCenter to work. Also My Documents data is found under Desktop/Libraries/Documents and also under Desktop/Joe...

Ok, i accidentally dragged my main folder with all of my stuff in it into a folder next to it. I clicked undo move but here is what happened. I open my folder, every folder within that folder was gone but those subfolder's contents were still there, just completely unorganized. Now every...

I'll try to explain this as well as I can. I save a lot of folders on my desktop. For the most part they are sorted alphabetically, from A to Z, with no problem. For the last several months, if something is named numerically, they are saved backwards. In other words, if I have files named 001...

Hi I really don't get this! If a computer can do anything it should be able to find files. Today I needed to find a file that I did for my niece a year ago. I don't remember what I named it or where I saved it. After trying a few things I decided to narrow it down by just getting a list of...

Hi I ran across this tweak, and I liked it. I'm told that you should not do this in 64 bit Vista? It always annoyed me that Windows Explorer always opens to the Libraries folder with all the folders expanded, it just makes it look too busy. . I never ever put anything in the folders there...

Well i have been searching about & tried different things such as dexpot n desktops.exe from ms but they dont do what i need. Basically im looking for something that will run when windows runs & i can set the number of desktops i want but each desktop i can have different icons, shortcuts &...
