My Documents: A way to stop this, to be the default destination?

Whenever I want to record something XP 64 bits by default in My Documents.  It's lame as it isn't even a place, just a shortcut.  Its nothing.  And its buried in countless subfolders.  So is it possible to get my system of brain damage if nothing else?  How Windows developers could choose this system, it is mind-boggling.  Who wants a destination which is really nothing?

Well, while I can see some of your arguments, I think other aspects of your difficult to fathom messages.

To some extent, Microsoft agree with you. That's why on Vista and Windows 7, the folder structure is now (by default)

C:\Users\\Documents

There are now separate folders for other types of document (not subfolders of the Documents)...

C:\Users\\Contacts

C:\Users\\Desktop

C:\Users\personal

C:\Users\\Favorites

C:\Users\\Links

C:\Users\\Music

C:\Users\\Pictures

C:\Users\\Videos

C:\Users\\Saved games

C:\Users\\Searches

For me, XP and Vista/7 structures are logical and I do not see why oppose you, especially having in mind that you can change this structure to be what you want it to be. If the application developers do not provide the customization you would like that is not the problem of Microsoft (unless you're talking about office of course).

Personally I don't see what the problem with the shortcuts as they are the ones you create for yourself or those integrated.

On XP there are subfolders under My Documents that also have shortcuts for my music and my pictures, and my videos that would normally be the default locations for apps that work on this particular file type. The fact that they have been moved to the top level on Vista/7 is not important for me.

The Documents and Settings folder is not just a place for the default My Documents folder, it's a place for a lot of other information 'by user', i.e. information and the parameters which can vary among users of any given PC.

If you don't like it (or the structure of Vista/7) my only suggestion is to have a Word with your local Apple store and see if you like how they do things.

    You have a common problem of Windows 7. You must set a default e-mail program and Windows 7 did not come with a pre-installed email program.

    The default e-mail program must be installed on the computer - for example Windows Mail (Vista), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc.

    Windows Live Mail is popular
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Live/Essentials
    Is Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

  • Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed... help

    I can't send an e-mail from a link on a page without getting this error... "could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed"...    My windows mail is set as default and I can receive and send him good, please help.

    Thank you

    A program is defined as default does not mean that it has considered all of the default roles available.  In the case of Outlook 2007, there are 13 total default values that can be assigned, and it should have each of them.  It is possible to default Outlook for e-mail, but not the default value for write links in web pages.

    I get a message "Cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed".  What should I do?

    Unlike Windows XP & Vista, Win7 does not have a default email Client. [What were thinking?]

    You will need to install a (e.g. MS Outlook;) Windows Live Mail; Thunderbird) , and then set it as a default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) article in Set Program Access and defaults of the computer , then restart your computer before any function send to or MailTo will become available.

  • "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed" when you use Windows Mail

    Original title: loss of entrance of Protocol in the list of saved files

    I use an old Toshiba laptop of two year with Vista as an operating system. It came with a trial version of Microsoft Office already installed. I had no use for it then after the trial expires I uninstalled. This seems to have created a minor problem with the e-mail program. When I visit a Web site and click on 'Contact us' I get an error message as follows "cannot perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." I suspect strongly as during the uninstallation of office he removed a protocol in the list entry, similarly, the bottom of the list of the saved files. A check with other similar computers with Vista installed seems to confirm this. If someone at - it a quick fix to this problem? I don't want to resort to installing a whole new email software to fix this minor problem if I can avoid it.

    Hello Karena R, yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail, and I must say that I prefer Windows Mail Live Mail program. After making sure that Live Mail is the deafult for all messaging functions and that the entry "Mail Protocol" was now back to the list of saved files, I checked the problem mentioned in my original post. He is not fixed! Another small problem is fixed now if. In my "drafts" mailbox I have some e-mails stored there and when I click on one of them upwards now comes an email with the appropriate address inserted in the address line. Who could not before. I used to get this error message, which is now the new title of my post. So why the difference when I click on email address that I find on Web sites? Now, I also find that by Michael following the instructions (below), I do not see an entry "mailto" but his suggestion to step d. type in "URL Protocol" is not appropriate because it is already there. The installation of an entirely new email software should have my computer all the necessary entries for the new program to function properly in all respects. So what's happening? It begins to look as if uninstalling the program Office has pulled something real Vista operating system.

    It's a good thing, I thought of the research on other boards for my missing post.

  • Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

    Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

    The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

    Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

    Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

    With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

    Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

    Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.

  • What is the best way to get this layout of the chapter?

    I have a document which is now a large flow of pages.

    However, there are "chapters, in this 'book'. A 'chapter' actually starts on the right page. But I want the left page to participate in the design of the spread of the beginning 'chapter '. This means that left before the start page real "chapter" is reserved in control of layout and all "chapter" before that would end on a left page, needs a right-hand page empty inserted, after which the left page of the early-'chapter' spread follows.

    Now, I can do the pages on the left of the start "chapter" start a section and to correct even a page number. That it is positioned on the left side. But when I add pages from the previous section, this means I have to change the page numbers of the beginning of all the sections that follow hand.

    Are there not a better way to do this? Somehow I don't have to worry about the numbering of the pages myself while still getting the page before the "chapter" included in the section of this "chapter"?

    (I write "chapter" because these aren't chpaters Id in an Id book, but a few sections in a single document Id).

    If the previous "chapter ends with a page of pairs (left hand), you add two pages, if it ends on the right add you a..

    Another way to do this automatically is to set an Option to keep on the paragraph style that you use for the first paragraph on the page at beginning of chapter, then it will start the section on the next odd-numbered page.

  • Another way to map CPAID instead of the default Oracle B2B for MAE agreement Id / EbXML 2.0?

    We use the EbXML 2.0 to send notices to ship to customers AgGateway. This integration follows the MAE / EbXML 2.0 Format.

    The XML requires a node < eb:CPAId > and must be set to a value of "CNShipment" for the ShipNotices document for all trading partners. In other words, each trading partner, the document is sent to, will have the same value < eb:CPAId > of CNShipment. Currently, the only way I could see to send this value is through the agreement of B2B ID. However Oracle B2B agreement Id must be unique. Is it possible that the < eb:CPAid > can be mapped to a different value via SOA, B2B or any other mechanism, so that it is not unique?

    Appreciate any input on this

    You can create a new agreement for each trading partner with the same agreement Id, in this case, CNShipment?  Agree names must be unique for each agreement, but the agreement ID can be the same for the many agreements.
