Hi and thanks for looking at my post. I have no experience whatsoever about automating tasks in Windows but I have a huge task at hand currently and so I feel automating it is the only solution. Here is what I am trying to do: I have a huge collection of movie files on my NAS (Z:\Movies). Each...

I've done my research, with absolutely no results. I've gone page to page, searching for answers, and I've come across nothing. Every solution is already applied to me, but the problem still persists. I seem to have lost association to all .iso's. Every one I have (20+) and any that I download...

Greeting, all - When you have some videos in a folder and have the 'View' mode set to 'Large Icons', it shows a thumbnail preview about 5 seconds into the vid. Normally, this is fine when it comes to jogging your memory of what the vid is, but I've just gotten hold of some historical...

Every time I go to backup some files from my Win7 system to my FAT32-formatted USB key, I get a Windows popup message about being unable to copy some properties of a small set of files.
