Ulimately, I just want folder size to be displayed when viewing in details mode but it seems that isn't an option with windows 7 so the next best thing is when you hover the mouse curser over the file and the metadata pops up (I think it's called tooltips) with the file size in it - but this is...

I really liked the Photo Gallery that came with Vista. Now that I'm on Windows 7, I see that that sidebar - where date taken, geo tags, and tags are displayed - is no longer available. Is there any way to get this sidebar in Windows Photo Viewer that came with Windows 7, or Windows Live...

Hi all, I have spent hours at this, and can't figure it out. On my Windows Vista 32bit system, I have Itunes installed and when I edit the name of a song, it changes it in Explorer and in the Metadata, I've checked using MP3 rename software. Now I have a laptop Windows 7 64bit, installed...

So I've been having some major issues with Windows Media Player. I wouldn't really mind, because the general library function works perfectly otherwise and it's perfect with foobar2000, but Windows 7 has a very nice integration with the Sonos music system (UPnP) which allows streaming over the...
