MtnDewCodeRedFreak Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have Vista Ultimate, and I found the "Use non-TPM BitLocker" on dell.com last night. I must admit, I am excited to finally use that feature!

The Right Guy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Move Your Documents folder to another partition/hard disk. 1. Go to your personal folder (Start "yourusername"), 2. Select the Document folder, 3. Right Click on it and select properties, 4. Switch to "location" tab then press move and select where you want to put the folder. It will ask you if you want to move the folder if you dont you'll have 2 folder. It can be made with all folders in your personal folder.

Allan Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) for me, I just simply make "short cuts" of the folders I have, and then paste them in my User/Documents When you click on a folder (_JKL for example) it open D:\Documents\_JKL and shows all my files. Mind you, I am anal retentive/obsessive compulsive with my files :rofl: Edited October 8, 2007 by Allan Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/12/#findComment-588904881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Guy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The real trick here is that all application think your Documents folder are still in the user Directory and for those who their folder size? are really big....

TheNay Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah that way you cant lose your documents if windows fail to start :D I do that with XP too, its the same process ;) Makes sense and it keeps you safe if windows does fail to start, lol EDIT\\ Allan, which program are you using to have your Office / Audio Video / Internet in your taskbar? I like it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/12/#findComment-588904921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 thenay: I use a program called "Windows" :p ... just follow the following steps: 1: make your taks bar 2 rows. 2: In My Documents, create folders with short cuts (Name then what ever you like) 3: right click on taskbar, highlight "Toolbars", Left click "New Toolbar..." 4: in the "New Toolbar - Choose a folder" dialogue box, navigate to the folder you just created. 5: Once you have it on the toolbar, you'll have to right click the NAME of the toolbar (or the drag point) and left click "Show text" to remove the names of the programs. Now, you can also have your DESKTOP show up - but it dosn't auto arrange. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/12/#findComment-588907087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medking Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Regarding the nameless Recycling Bin There is an easier way...which is to simply rename the recycle bin and then press the spacebar } and then voila... And also the icons on the desktop, if you dont want the text to show up then rename the first one, and hold down Alt+255 and then press enter With the second one, hold down Alt+255, spacebar, and then Alt+255 again, and then enter Every time you have another icon, add another Alt+255 to the sequence. I did this to mine, and then supersized the icons, and they came up very nicely...

gdstuart Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 RE: TakeOwn.reg I installed it (plus Run as Admin) but TakeOwn doesn't give me the context menu item. However, the shortcuts that appeared after I ran Easy Transfer (which all were giving me Access Denied msgs) have disappeared from Explorer. I'm thoroughly baffled about what Easy (sic) Transfer did with my files. Is there any doc that explains in layman's terms (a lot to ask from MS) the various workings of Easy Transfer? For example, was My Documents supposed to migrate to Documents under my ID on the Vista machine? How come Windows Mail has no knowledge about my OE accounts and messages, and I have to migrate them manually? Thanks!

philosoraptor Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Philosoraptor here. Great thread. Does anyone know how to change the icons for file types in Vista? This was possible in XP, but is absent in Vista.

photolarry Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Control the amount of disk the System Restore points use by changing the following registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore\cfg] "DiskPercent"=dword:00000003 In this example, the percent is only three. The default is 15 as in the example below.

ereal Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hey guys. I've got a computer, on which someone installed Windows Vista Business. The problem is, that he mistakenly set primary (every stuff related to language) language to Latvian. Now I'm unable to set it to e.g Slovenian. What shall I do?
