Explorer Windows Vista remove shared disk link
Hello
I have a link does not work on a shared LAN drive in Windows Explorer. I think that there is an incorrect IP address. It is called WD My Book World Edition (public) and it is located under the computer in the left pane of Windows Explorer. If I click on it or right click to see the properties, it crashes Windows Explorer and I stop to explore with the Manager tasks. I didn't need this article because I can access the drive via the network.
How to remove the entry from the left pane of Windows Explorer?
Thank you
Frank C
Win Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP2
The solution "should have been obvious:
Drag the offending entry in the Windows Explorer Navigation pane in the trash.
It worked!

Explorer Windows (Vista) does not
I struggled for a few months with Explorer windows (Vista). It all started after an automatic update that has been made by my computer. Whenever I try to click on something on my windows downstairs bar it freezes and gives me the error message "Windows Explorer is not responding do not." (NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) I also lost my sound completely software. Then, I restored my computer to a point of origin. But shortly after that my computer re-out to date, and although my sound has no problem now, I always get the error message "Windows Explorer is not responding" very annoying whenever I try to use my windows taskbar. The research I did I found many people with the problems I experienced. But not onecanseem to give the right answer on how to solve this problem. It only happens with Vista. Y at - there anyone who can help?
Hi coolis,.
There are many steps that we could try to try the basic step, it will take place the computer in a State of clean boot, put the computer in a clean boot state followed the following steps:
Step 1: Perform a clean bootLog the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
c. under the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
d. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.Note following this step lets Microsoft services continue to operate. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
e. click OK and then click on restart.
Once you reboot check if the problem is solved in the clean boot state.
If the problem occurs not in a State of boot, follow these steps to diagnose the component program or start that is causing the problem.Step 2: Enable half of the service
Follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.
Click the Services tab, and then click to select the skin all the Microsoft services checkbox.
Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.
Click OK and then click on restart.
Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns
If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.
If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
If only one service is selected in the list of services, and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.
Step 4: Enable half of the startup items
Perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.
Click the Startup tab, and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.
Click OK and then click on restart.
Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns
If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.
If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.
If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be the cause of the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the skin all the box Microsoft services at every step.
Step 6: Resolve the problem
After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.
Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment
Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly. It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again. It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really. Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)
Hi islgrl10,
Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.
To check for errors on a partition,
1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.Kind regards

Why accident to explore Windows vista and mouse slow down when the Panel is open?
My computer works fine except when I try to open the control panel. Then windows explore crashes, my mouse is useless and impossible to close the control panel by using the menu of the task. Everything disappears when I managed to select restart windows Explorer and the closed control panel. I have seen a lot of messages from people having the same problem but I still see a response that it heals. Microsoft want money to repair their fault and I'm not ready to feed their greed. If anyone else can help?
Hello
What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include everything you
ever had including those that you uninstalled. (These can leave leftovers that can cause strange)
questions.)Search all .cpl files most will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have
others. Click on each of them at a time and see if it does not start - if so right click on it and
Rename it using cpZ as the extension is easy to find. Try Control Panel - if no Dungeon of joy
try all the .cpl files. (Note that other people find other subfolders under C:\Windows should
not be judged because they are not active.)Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and others.
Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play:
Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN
Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

Explorer Windows Vista refuses to rename the folder
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium - Windows Explorer often but not always refuses to rename a folder. Sometimes, it will allow me to create a new folder and copies the files in all, but sometimes refuse to allow me to delete the older copies. This happens even when I run explorer.exe as administrator. Any ideas?

To sit and wait. It will take time.

Reboot (restart your computer)After the hell of a file, see if you still have the same problem.
See also, what said result sfc/scannow. If he says he finds wrong files, but impossible to fix, then you can download the CBS.

In the SAME elevated command prompt window, copy and paste this command line...
Notepad C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
then press the Enter key.

My HP Pavilion a6400f had problems years ago I installed Ubuntu Linux. Now, getting fed up with linux, I want Windows Vista back. I still have the OEM key. The HP recovery disk allows me to install WIndows?
My HP Pavilion a6400f had problems years ago I installed Ubuntu Linux. Now, getting fed up with linux, I want Windows Vista back. I still have the OEM key. The HP recovery disk allows me to install WIndows?
The recovery set supplied with the computer should find the default computer. Probably will not even need to enter the key.
Don't forget to patch (probably manually) with SP1 and SP2 after you're done. Then download the updates (MUCH) released after that.

I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.
You can not download Vista.
In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.
If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

I would remove ALL of my laptop which is running vista Sp2 and I have not a disk to install it from what can do?
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
____________________________________________________________
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence

Install Windows Vista from the recovery disk
I think the upgrade to windows 7, the official version. However, before I do that, I know that if I can downgrade to windows vista, as soon as I upgrade to Windows 7. I'm not sure that you will be able to go back to windows vista. Currently I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I also have the recovery disk. Can I install windows Vista on a recovery disk? I saw this article where they made a cd to the recovery partition and installed windows vista. Following the link to the article: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/window-on-windows/?p=622. If you can help me with this, that would be grateful.
There is no decommissioning as such; Installing a clean place to go back to Vista.
You can reinstall Vista recovery disk/s that you made, or with those of the manufacturer of the computer.
And if it was / is a hard youtr recovery partition, do you the recovery disks FRO it. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner
