blanger Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Not on the Recycle Bin,.. I ment on the download link. :DWhich file saves as a blank document?!? When I right click on "RecycleBin.zip" I get the following options: Open link in a new window Open link in new tab Bookmark this Link Save Link Send Link Copy Link Locations Properties When I click on Save Link" it saves a blank white icon to my desktop and when I click on it I get the following message" Windows cannot open the file "index.php" (why that is what the link says I don't know" To open the file Windows needs to know what program you want to open it with. When I right clicked on the recyclebin.zip file when I used Vista Businees it opened without a problem. Now I'm using Vista Ultimate, I don't know if that has anything to dowith it though, it shouldn't. Thanks for your help by the way!

Vice Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 As the OS is booting press F8 as if you are entering the Safe Mode menu, go to Disable Driver Signing and for that session driver signing will be deactivated this will allow you to use ... unsigned drivers. For instance Windows XP drivers in Vista. Some drivers from Windows XP do work in Vista but they may cause instability so only use this tip if you really need it.

ivan31174 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm having a problem with the RecycleBin.zip file which is supposed to allow an unnamed recycle bin. When I save the file it saves as a blank document, there's nothing there.I didn't have the problem when I was using the Vsta beta, now that I'm using finished Vista Ultimate I can't get the file. this is very simple, right click on the recycle bin then left click rename now press space bar now left click on the desk top. your done! :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/5/#findComment-588288645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

enf0rcer2k2 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I am having a problem with MinUnMinAll I copied the .exe to the c:\ and put a shortcut into my quick launch but almost every time I have to click on it twice for it to work - not a quick double click but two single clicks. Anyone else have this problem? Edit: And once it finally shows the desktop, it takes about 3 clicks to open something in the task bar ie. FireFox Edit 2: How can I restore the original Show Desktop shortcut? Because I deleted it after putting the shortcut to MinUnMinAll there.

rolandb5 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Sometimes you need to press twice, because one of your windows is already minimalised. It first brings up all windows (first click), and then brings them down (second click) Does someone have the same program, but then only with a minimalize functionality? So a Minall instead of a MinUnMinall? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/5/#findComment-588311368 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpgeek Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Some people have had signing in issues with Windows Live Messenger...Here is a fix :) Hmmm, could that be the reason my router goes absolutely crazy when I use utorrent too? No UPnP, manual port forwarded, same problem with Azereus too, router drops the connection and resets like crazy, literally like once every two minutes. Only when bit torrenting, never does it any other time.

tunafish Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Getting all network devices and storage devices to show If like me you have other devices on your network, such as another PC running Linux or Mac, or some remote storage you might find vista will not see them in the network or refuse to connect to them. This happened with my mac, were vista saw the mac on the network but would not let me login to it. So to get these devices working do the following: Click on the Start Button and in the search bar key in secpol.msc and then hit enter. When the Local Security Policy editor has loaded, expand Local Policies (on the left side) and select Security Options. Scroll through the list (right side) and locate "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level." Right click on this setting and select Properties. Change the setting to "Send LM & NTML - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" Hit OK and your NAS will work again.
