- Windows Vista >> Power icon only for laptops/UPSWhy on earth has Microsoft taken it upon itself to remove the power
icon in Vista except for laptops and desktops with UPS systems?
I have always used the icon to quickly switch between different power
plans, so that "always-on" desktops can be put in low-power mode when
no user interaction is required.
I understand that switching off, or hibernating, would be the ideal
solution, but if the machine does work over night, that's not an
option. The power icon makes it easy to save power under this
scenario. Isn't Microsoft supposed to be promoting energy efficiency?
Not much sign of it in Vista.
Maybe they'll say "Oh, we thought people just used the power icon for
looking at the battery on laptops". It's exactly this kind of second-
guessing which is driving me insane in Microsoft software of late. The
new slogan appears to be "where do we want you to go today?" Nanny
knows best! The more I use Vista, the more useful features I find that
have been removed or disabled, presumably "for my own good".

- Windows Vista >> DOS Prompt HereWith Vista, in Windows Explorer, when I right click on a folder and select
'DOS Prompt Here' the DOS prompt always starts in C:\Windows\system32 not
the highlighted folder. That's using the folder list on the left side. If
I try it with a folder on the right side, it opens the DOS prompt in the
parent directory of the folder I have highlighted.
What gives?

- Windows Vista >> Icons Size and Monitor ResolutionVery strange problem; I have a Dell XPS 1730; running vista ult; max
resolution is 1900 x 1200. I have hooked this laptop up to a 50" plasma
monitor resolution 1368 x 720 (or so). I can get the monitor to work by
reducing the res; but strange thing starts happening on the destop the icons
start getting bigger and bigger until 2 or 3 icon fill up the whole screen
(it kind of seems like it is cyling through big, bigger biggest). When I
reset the icons to small size they cycle up again without me touching the
computer.
Any ideas????

- Windows Vista >> Icon Check Boxes1) Question: On my desktop, all of my icons have a little check box in the
upper-right hand corner, I find this irritating and was hoping I could remove
the check boxes from the icons.

- Windows Vista >> Empty holder can not be deletedI encouter from time to time situation where I can not delete file
holder. The following is the one just happened.
I downloaded a zip file on the desktop, created a holder in D: drive,
moved the zip file to it, and unzipped the zip file. In the unzipping
process a new sub-holder was automatically created and extracted files
were saved in that sub-holder.
Then, I could delete the zip file, all extracted files, but could not
delete the automatically created sub-holder.
Could anyone help me understand why and how to delete it?

- Windows Vista >> Windows Mail nagVista's Window Mail program has started to nag me about compacting the mail
folders. I really don't want to compact them right now but the message is
coming up every time I exit the mail program.
Is there any way to get the nagging to stop until I have the time to deal
with the issue?
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> best / good drive imager?best / good drive imager?
I have Acronis 11 TI, but it started hanging on me yesterday under Vista.
it always hangs for 40 secs or so running standalone.
I tried Paragon Drive Backup 8.51, it imaged okay but wanted 2 hrs plus to
restore 5gb *Acribuis tajes 8 min) - I guess It's using PIO1... (did not
send them a note).
I tried rtt r-drive image and it imaged fine but I couldn't boot the damn
Linux CD even with bios sata set to IDE/disa/legacy. (sent them a note)
Tried casper but it images 1:1 and I don't have the HD capacity at the
moment (sata 160 and IDE 80) and prefer the compressed images that I can
put to DVD occasionally if I so choose (and I do)
Latest PQDI on torrent is 7 which is flagged as Vista non-compatable anyway
(I didn't try it).
I used to use ghost but a while back when I upgraded, the boot cd caused a
bluescreen because it wanted to call home on an intel NIC, so I went to
Acronis.
I keep looking around but would appreciate ideas!
tia!!!

window of the desktop shortcuts do not actually show up on my desktop. I get
generic Windows-generated icons instead. How can this be and how do I

the Windows icon library.

- Windows Vista >> Dvd wont play in Dvd playerOk guys, I finally am able to burn a dvd from my camcorder with DVD maker.
However, the dvd will not play in my dvd player. It's a fairly new Sony
progressive scan dvd player and says it play all types of dvd's
(R+,RW+,R-,RW-) My computer is brand new and also plays all of the above
dvd's. I was using DVD-R for my burning, it is what I use when backing up
dvd's that I own with no problems. So why is DVD maker having a problem
encoding my camcorder to dvd format? Or is there another problem that I dont
know about. I greatly appreciate all of your help.

- Windows Vista >> Variations of Aero?There are many themes for Windows XP Luna interface. Windows Vista,
however, has only one version of Aero ( we can change the color and
its intensity though). Is it possible to make other themes for Aero,
like different system button styles or different border, different
material, etc. Or, is it impossible to customize it by its
architecture? I'm not going to make a custom theme, but am just
curious about it.
PS : Personally, I like Aero better than Mac OSX's look and feel,
except for fonts and menus. I like OSX's larger fonts and translucent
menu better.

Windows Vista >> Rules of Conduct for the Vista General Newsgroup
For those who are unfamilar with the Rules of Conduct for the
Microsoft Newsgroups, here's your opportunity to learn the rules
of expected mature adult behavior when posting.
Rules of conduct:
We hope that you find the time you spend in Microsoft's Community Web sites
to be useful and fun. To ensure that everyone has the best possible
experience, we've established a few guidelines. Please take a moment to read
them, and thank you for participating in a Microsoft Community.
Expectations of service:
Microsoft's Role: Microsoft does not offer formal support for the
communities you'll find here. Instead, our role is to provide a platform for
people who want to take advantage of the global community of Microsoft
customers and product experts. Microsoft may monitor content to ensure the
accuracy of the information you'll find, but any information provided by
Microsoft staff is offered "AS IS" with no warranties, and no rights are

Microsoft MVPs: Microsoft MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) volunteer
technical answers and expertise in many Microsoft Community Web sites.
Microsoft MVPs come from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. All
share a willingness to give their time, expertise, and advice to enhance the
technical skills of others. MVPs are not Microsoft employees and Microsoft
has no expectations of MVPs beyond the expectations of courtesy,
professionalism, and adherence to the Community rules that we ask of all
Microsoft community members. For more information on the MVP program and how
you can become an MVP, see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/.
Rules of conduct:
Appropriate Language: The purpose of our communities is to exchange
technical information and expertise about Microsoft products. Please avoid

topics to drift from the stated subject. However, to ensure maximum benefit
for everyone, we encourage you to keep your postings as close to the subject
as possible.
Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for
providing peer-to-peer assistance on Microsoft products and services. We ask

Windows Vista >> Rules of Conduct for the Vista General Newsgroup
Are you telling me my comment will not be posted. I was not rude, did not
use bad language, but I was truthful. This is my first time to comment on
anything on this forum and looking at some of the other comments people seem
to agree with me. Vista is not user friendly if you are a Novice.

<snip>
I don't think the general rules that were posted meant in any way to imply
that you were rude.
If you don't like Vista and say so...There is no one who is going to stop
you from making your comments.
I am still sitting on the fence of evaluation as far as Vista is concerned.

Your posts are welcome, good or bad about Vista. Usenet news groups are
open news groups and that is the way it has evolved. It is a open and free
discussion medium.
I am hoping Carey means the Franks and FYI types that go into endless loops
of retort.
If it extends to finding fault with Vista - too bad so sad. Just ignore
them. If they want that kind of feel good news, they should go to a
moderated and internal group on Microsoft systems where real issues are
filtered.
Feel free to express yourself.

I didn't now that children aren't allowed to post here? What is the age
limit?
> Rules [that do not apply to me]
Sorry, but I post through my USENET provider's servers, and not through
MS's servers, so my USENET provider's rules apply to me, not MS's.
If MS wants to have total control of this group, then it should pull it
from the USENET, and make all you punters use the CDO Web interface.
I won't be holding my breath.

Carey is a volunteer that wields absolutely no power at all. What he is
best at is doing is searches of the technet database, and copying and
pasting from technet to here.
Have fun, and ignore whatever the haters of free speech have to say.

You damn retard, the majority of people aren't in, coming from or
posting to Microsoft hosted groups so shove your so-called rules up
your stupid ass since they don't apply to 90% of the people reading
this which confirms again what mind numbing assholes MVP's actually
are and how willing they always are to kiss up to Microsoft and ignore
the real issues that impact so many users.

No such thing as "Microsoft Newsgroups". There are Microsoft servers and
the clunky web interface but these "rules" don't apply to Usenet. This
was pointed out to you the last time you posted this tripe. What didn't
you understand when it was explained to you before?

I'm glad you mentioned it. I took my son to a Retort last summer. It was
on the Florida coast just south of Ft. Lauderdale. Very very nice retort.
Girls running around half naked, the bartenders were real nice and we had a
good time.
Thanks for mentioning it.

- Windows Vista >> Shared Printer connected to an XP machineI have a HP4L connected to a XP Home machine. It is set as a Shared Printer,
and other machines on my home network can see it and print to it.
I have a Vista Home machine on the same network tht can see the XP machine,
and access the shared folders, but it can not connect to the shared printer.
When I try to connect to the HP4L, I get an error message, ACCESS DENIED. I
was thinking the error came from the XP machine -- firewall problem or the
like -- but I can't find any thing that would keep Vista out while letting
all of my other machines in -- the other machines are all XP, some XP Pro,
and some XP Home. The only machine that can not share the printer is the
Vista machine.
Do I need a printer driver on the Vista machine that works with the printer?

- Windows Vista >> Can't see Internet on wireless networkI want a second computer (which uses XP) to be able to connect to my
internet connection.
It CAN connect to the wireless network, but cannot see the internet.
I have a Netgear wireless Router, and a security enabled wireless network.
The other PC can connect to the wireless network with good strength, but
cannot see the internet.
In Vista's Network Sharing Centrethere is a properties box which deals with
Internet Connection Sharing. But when I try to tick the 'Allow other users
to connect through this computer's internet connection' box and click OK, I
get a messagebox come upo telling me that 'An error occured while internet
connection was being enabled'. Should I be trying to enable this?
Am I doing this in the right place? if so what else do I need to do to
enable the internet on the other machine? Any ideas...?
Thanks

- Windows Vista >> Vista Folder Icon Question ?Hi Everybody.
I would like to embed a "Folder Icon" into each of my music folders.
The folder icon is placed inside the folder and I have assigned that icon to
the folder the average way but the path to that icon which is shown in the
hidden desktop.ini file is an absolute path.
This means that if the folders get transferred to another PC to a different
drive with different drive letter the icons wont display.
Is there a way to embed the icon or assign the icon with an absolute path?
Hope someone here can give me a hand here.
Thanks in advance,
Tommy

- Windows Vista >> New (Old) Network Icon PleaseThe Network Icon with Animation turned 'ON' is a poor indicator at best.
Microsoft, please give us the clearly obvious activity Icon from past Windows
versions. At least the option of the old Icon. Drag it out of the closed at
add it to an Update.

- Windows Vista >> What is IUSR_NMPRHi
Please can someone explain to me, in an easy to understand way...
What is IUSR_NMPR
Yesterday I was trying to move a picture from my user account, into
my sons user account.
With XP this was something I found easy :o)
But with Vista... I couldn't work it out :o(
In the end, I decided to get it to his side by using - Share
After about half an hour of debating - Should I use the public folder or the
Share button.... I used the Share Button.
That's when I got a shock!
I clicked on the drop down list to pick a user to share with.
But instead of seeing just mine and my sons name. It said...
My Name
IUSR_NMPR
My Sons Name
It really scared me!
I have googled IUSR_NMPR
But the only bits of information I have found about IUSR_NMPR...
Have so far been confusing
Conflicting views (e.g. One says one thing - One says another)
Not Definite! (I need to know for sure what IUSR_NMPR is)
So can someone plaease tell me....
What is IUSR_NMPR ?
And.... Is it normal to have it on a Vista Computer?
Thank You!

- Windows Vista >> Copying/moving photos in VistaIs Vista really this unusable? I have large amounts of select photos that I
need to move to other folders. The problem is, in Vista I cannot see the
thumbnails to see what to move. Do I have to write down the name of every
photo that I want to move? MS office picture manager won't allow cutting and
pasting. Do I have to use third party software to move photos?

- Windows Vista >> Will this hurt my laptop?Vista Home Premium
As a previous note stated I am having trouble waking my laptop while
sleeping.
This is a separate question. If I set the laptop to never sleep, hibernate
or anything else and just use the screen saver will this hurt the laptop? I
realize it will use extra power but will its being fully on all the time
generate significant wear & tear on the computer?

better. Now, how does one "associate" the Graphic E. settings to the WAV file

- Windows Vista >> Will Vista detect unformatted hard disk?Hi people, and thanks for all the useful info I have learned from reading
this group. I am about to buy a second hard disk for my Vista Home Premium
computer, for storing backups and a Norton Ghost image. New hard disks are
usually unformatted, and in the past I have formatted them by booting with a
floppy and using FDISK and FORMAT. My new computer has no floppy drive
though, and I am wondering whether, if I put a new unformatted disk in, will
Vista detect it and give me a chance to format it? Can anyone advise? Also,
does Norton Ghost 12 prefer a FAT or NTSC formatted disk for its images, or
will either do? Thanks.
