One feature I miss from xp is the ability to hover over disks and quickly see their used/total space.
Can anyone let me know if this can be turned on in vista/7 or any other solutions?

I've got a Vista machine, and I just uninstalled a bunch of programs that someone had installed and wasn't supposed to. My supervisor now wants me to send a list of these programs to the people who have used the computer just for safe keeping.
Is there any way I can find the names of the programs I just uninstalled?
I have OS X Server installed. I am using Window Vista on a PC.
But on my network I can't see the OS X server. But I can see other Mac computers in shared but not OS X server.
I am able to ping the IP.
What should I do?
I am creating an intranet website on a Vista 32 machine with IIS7. On my machine it works great! However, when other users on our network try to connect to it they get an error saying "Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to computername". Perhaps this is because the NTFS and/or IIS permissions are not set correctly.
How do I set the permissions to publish a website on the intranet?
Thanks in advance, Dan
I burned a CD on XP using the built-in burning software and I can read the CD on that machine, but when I insert it into my Vista machine, I can't read the files. It shows the correct volume label, and the correct 'free space', but I can't access the actual files.
Am I missing something obvious?
(Both systems are fully up-to-date)
I am considering creating a Vista install, in VirtualBox, in a minimum configuration.
The Microsoft pages seem consistent on the most important points:
1 GB of system memory
40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
In my experience sometimes these recommendations are accurate. (For example, I have a Windows XP in VirtualBox that generally behaves well running in the stated minimum). If anyone has some practical experience (especially the type that could save me hours of pain), please let me know.
Wondering if there is some trick to scheduling a batch file to run in Vista.
I have tried almost every setting/arg I can think of with no result other than an error, or the command window opening then instantly closing without executing the code.
The batch files works fine when I double click to run.
Hello, my computer (a Dell XPS M1330 - Vista x64) hangs randomly. When it happens I can't run the task manager (or another app), nor the Start menu, and when i try to close an application the title bar shows "Not responding".
In the event viewers, nothing particular, excepts the hard shutdown.
(I apologize in advance for my bad english..)
I have a problem with the calendar gadget in Vista. The starting day is Sunday, but I would like to change it to Monday.
I have checked some forums which points me in the direction that:
Change the Regional Settings in ControlPanel to your local region
Change the register key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/iFirstDayOfWeek to 0
Both of these are already correct, so it didn't help me.. Does anyone else have a suggestions?
I can not access Contol panel in my windows vista machine.
As soon as i click the "conrol panel" item in start items, it shows up a window and then its closed automatically ( same happens if i use "control" command).
Is there some program or some registry entry thats restricting it? is ther a way to control this behaviour?
The idea is to use Vista RFM as a freeware version of Windows to allow Mac users running a Windows-based application via VirtualBox.
Is there a way to make that possible (starting the program automatically in RFM)?
Thanks!
Hi, at my work computer, a Dell package computer with Vista Business, I turn it on, it shows the Dell boot screen then just hangs forever. Can get into the Bios and boot settings, but other than that, just hangs. What could cause this? No one's been here over the weekend and it was fine on friday.
Thanks.
On Windows Vista, I right-click on a folder, Properties, Sharing tab, and either "Advanced Sharing" or "Share"-"Share" causes an error:
Windows File Sharing
This program will not run
Access is denied.
Close
My user account is an "administrator" on this machine.
I think this behavior changed since my computer was added to the new domain recently. I have other folders shared (from long ago), and they continue to be shared just fine.
I have Windows Vista installed on my machine and I am facing this really annoying problem. Whenever I open a folder having images, image thumbnails appear for an instant and they are replaced by standard file icon. Argh...
Points to note:
Setting "Always show icon, never thumbnail" is unchecked
Running Windows Aero theme (with transparency support)
Have 4GB of RAM on my machine so memory is not a problem
Please can you suggest a solution?
I have a PC running Opensuse 11.0 Linux. I currently login using ssh with putty. However this is a command line login. How to do a remote xserver login from windows to run a gnome or kde session. what software should I use?
I have the root password for the Linux PC and admin privileges on vista.
I have two PCs (different specs) with the latest Windows Vista and Safari 4 updates installed. In one machine, Safari 4 works great but in the other, it starts up slowly (less than a minute though) with harddisk sound indicating data access activities.
I have cleared all internet caches and I am quite sure that there is no virus in both machines. Are there any other reasons that Safari performances are so different in comparably similar software and hardware environments?

I have Windows Vista on my computer, and it says it has a very good connection to my wireless router, but it doesn't display any webpages in Firefox or IE. It just says "Can't find this page".
Any ideas?
I'm using Office 2007 on Windows Vista and occasionally, when copying from Word to Excel, or text from a website to Word, I will get the hour glass for 10 + seconds and sometimes for about a minute. It should just be simple text and I don't understand why it takes so long.
According to an article today in the register Microsoft will no longer support Vista from the end of this month.
I have a laptop that is not even a year old using an operating system that will not even have had a year's support.
Is anyone else angry that they are paying for inferior and unsupported products from Microsoft?

I'm sitting under Vista and the problem is -- though I can see disc number of track in Winamp or some other multimedia players, I cannot sort files by disc number in Windows Explorer.
I've scanned through the whole long list of available properties of files but haven't found "disc number" or similar property.
So is there any way to sort tracks by disc number in Windows Explorer, and if there is, then how to do it?
