I have just "blogged" this:
I was having a discussion on another forum, and got fascinated by an observation another member had made. If you use the default desktop, the welcome screen only stayed for 2 or 3 seconds. If you customised the desktop, this deteriorated to, in the worst cases...

We have started testing Windows 7. We have discovered a quirk in the storage of temporary internet files that may have some security concerns.
The official literature of Windows 7 says the storage point for the Content.IE5 folder has been relocated to...

Hi there, I've successfully made an answer file on SIM that gets through the whole process unattended. However right at the end it always asks for user name-also it hasn't named the computer. Here is my answer file.

i opened %userprofile% folder and found that there are 2 My Documents folders.
Does windows 7 allowing same names now ?
Both are exact same name, copy name paste to other has no effect as if they were named differently but not.
This making me confused where user data is stored.

I've bene using Win7 x64 RC (7100) for several weeks now without any problems.
This morning while renaming some files in Windows Explorer, Explorer locked up, and I couldn't close Firefox either. Couldn't ctrl/alt/del either. As I was about to just reset the system using the power button, I got...
[SOLVED] Want to reinstall - what do I backup?
After formatting a totally different primary partition on another drive that had held an older XP, for some reason Win 7 seems to think it's been dumped instead as it now won't load at all. And when I thought about it, I realised that for some...
I'm trying to restore my Itunes library from an XP install where the library and music were held on a spare hard drive. I have Itunes64 installed on Window 7 and it works okay except for the problem below.
I've moved the Music folder in Win7 to the spare hard drive. Hence when I select...

Before upgrading to windows 7 I backed up all of my data onto an external HDD by (in XP) going Start,all programmes, Accessories, System tools, Files and Settings transfer wizard. It made a load of .DAT files in folder called USM2T.UNC. Can anyone now tell me how I'm supposed to restore these...

Hi All,
I've come across a major problem with my windows 7 rc drive. It has been running perfectly for the last week and i've been loving the changes. Until today everything was fine, i had left my pc on to download a "linux mint" iso image whilst i was asleep.
When returning to check on the...

I'm a bit worried about this as the two drives are visable at all times (regardless of if it's xp or 7)

I created a couple of user accounts in Windows 7 and moved the documents folder of each user to another partition...
There should be a backup system built in to the Win7 !
The original Backup/Restore is a disaster:
- it is using aproprietary file format. Every version of MSDOS and Windows has had an incompatible file format.
- it does not know what to backup
We had some thinking:
Normally an user creates max...

In Vista, it was possible to change the location of My Documents, My Music etc. by adjusting the properties of those special folders, and pointing them to an alternate location. I could change the location of My Music by selecting the Location tab under Properties, and define a new folder.

But I notice that only some of them are there. Does anyone know where the others are kept?
