Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.
Here is an article on how to move your personal folders in Vista: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/moving-your-personal-data-folders-in-windows-vista-the-easy-way/. If you're talking about the special folders (such as photos, Documents, office...), then here is an article on how to move: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/95/1/How-to-move-the-special-folders-in-Windows-Vista.html.
If you have trouble with the search after you move the files, then rebuild the index: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2103/vista_rebuilding_the_search_index/. Here is an article on how to use Indexing Options in Vista that may be useful for you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69581-indexing-options.html.
If the above does not help, your problem seems to relate to the image of the files/folders and their interactions with Media Center (which operate on different other folders). Please repost your question in images and video Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where the people who specialize in issues of the image will be more than happy to help you with your quesitons.

Update Windows stuck in a loop. Keeps trying to download page 3 of 3, but never does, then restarts and is trying to download. Can't stop the loop to try something else.
The operating system is Windows Vista.
I found this as a solution and to share it here, I still have questions, but thinking might help someone.
Windows Vista and 7 update Reboot Loop Fix
Symptom: You have a update that is causing Windows Vista or Windows 7, stuck in an infinite loop. The problem usually manifests as a "step 3 of 3:0 % complete...". "followed by a restart which starts at the exact same message, not allowing you to get on your account of connection or a desktop at all. It's a pain, and he doesn't stop, even in Mode without failure or advanced trying last good known Configuration in the start menu.
Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run System Restore from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE files
\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.XML AND (as applicable)
\Windows\WinSxS\pending.XML and the infinite loop update will be set.
There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:
del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml
del C:\Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml
The other way is to download a live Linux distribution such as the System of Tritech Service (which, unlike Vista or 7 DVD, can be booted from a USB flash drive for computers with no CD/DVD drive such as netbooks), open a command prompt, mount the file system and deleting the files. Assuming that your Windows installation is the first partition on the first hard disk, the following commands in rxvt or a console in the Tritech Service system should work:
Mount.NTFS - 3 g/dev/sda1/mnt/sda1
RM /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/cleanup.xml /mnt/sda1/Windows/*/pending.xml
umount/mnt/sda1

Anyway you do it, this solution will stop the engine update loop reboot and let you return to your computer. You may need to make some corrections, additional or manual updates if you have problems, but unless your login screen and/or the Office should be accessible! Is a very annoying problem and I noticed that Google is looking for things like "stage of vista 3 3 restart" usually only provides information about how to run the system on a Vista DVD restore. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with an update, sometimes the system restore does not work and fail with obscure errors, so this info is vital.
Maybe it's your last chance to avoid giving to the top and reinstalling Windows, and we always like avoiding relocations!

OK... so I had an accident and there was good and bad news... the good news is that I was able to get it started and running "Save", but the bad news is that instead of giving a new image system clean (as I expected), I had a bunch of random pictures and other unimportant things and many important things seems lost but I think that its still all somewhere.
now... to the front sometimes there was a windows program called "windows explorer" that would put all folders and all files that was on the hard drive on a single screen, and you can search through them. When I shoot to the top of the Explorer windows on win 7, I get a page with a bunch of files minor that some things in them, but not what I see already...
so... my question is simply "is it possible to see EACH file and a file that exists on the drive hard on one screen and in one place just as you do in earlier versions. I did some research and went thru records that he will show me but I explicitly want is to see EACH file and folder that exists on one screen...
is it possible in win 7? and if so, how, please
Steven
Steve,
Are you talking about the Windows Search function?
In Windows Explorer, open the top-level folder that you want to watch in [C:\Users\yourusername\Documents or whatever it is you want] then look in the upper right area - there is a white box to the right of the address bar. This is the search box. Type * and then pause and it lists all the files in this top-level folder down through its subfolders.

How to keep the image in one place
original title: Windows Live Photo Gallery
Does anyone know how I can keep my pictures/Photos all in one place. At present, all the photos appear in the following three places - 'Images', my 'Windows Live Phioto Gallery"and in my"Arcsoft MedialImpression 2 "account. When I download on the Windows Live Photo Gallery, they also appear in the other two places. Also if I delete a photo of one of these areas, they are also removed from the other two places as well! I think that they have to take a lot of space on my computer. Maybe there is a Photo Studio package I can download in which case they all kep to this place?
Any help/advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Thank you
I think you will find that they are stored in one place,
Photos (Username C:\Users\*your * \Pictures) and referenced by the other two using a form of shortcut.
Right-click on any photo in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and then select Properties.
Look under the general tab allows you to see where it is actually stored.
