Vista organize by file type?

XP has a tab to organize files by type.  I can't understand how to do this in Vista.  I work with image (jpeg and raw) files in the Solution Explorer and I need to have a set of JPEG files and raw together in a list form so I can download into separate folders (folder of jpeg and raw file)... Help, please... Thanks :)

Hello Ally,

To do this, you will need to click on the right in the empty space of the folder, select sort by, and then click Type.  If Type is not listed after selecting the sort by, select moreand then scroll through the list and check the box next to Type.  If you have any other questions, please let us know.  Thank you.

  • Can I recover the Vista backup specific file types?

    Ok. So I got a little happy relaxation of night last night and accidentally deleted all my music on iTunes, instead of just compensation for the library.

    Fortunately, I made a back-up week last using the Vista Backup Wizard, so I have nothing to lose forever.

    Question is, when I perform backup restore, can I just pick up music or will it also try and retrieve all my photos and documents too? I use Vista Home Premium 32 bit and backup to an external HARD disk.

    When you perform the recovery process, you can select what you want - it will give you this option as your use of the procedure.  I don't know if this can be done by file type (I doubt it), but it can be done by selecting the files and/or folders specifically.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Title: download original ROM files on Vista

    Try to download an update of the firmware with a file extension ROM Vista says it's an unrecognized file type. Patches?

    You must get the update of the firmware that can handle the type of file the same place ROMA, you got the firmware file.  From what I see, they seem specific to the product updated. http://www.FileInfo.com/extension/ROM if they don't have it, talk to their technical support staff and ask them what type of program is required to install the firmware provided in ROM format and where you can get it.  Vista doesn't have the ability to read a file ROM type  Some software must be added to give this capability.

    Here is an article I read: "various hardware upgrades and emulators use the ROM file extension." A user needs a flash program usually available on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard. The user must not flashing BIOS unless the user knows that he has the image of his mother. An error or the computer may be turned off when the wrong BIOS image is flashed. "So be very careful here, or you can completely disable your system.

  • How to import a backup of bookmarks in the file file type?

    Well, I had a computer installed Windows Vista with Mozilla Firefox, but I was getting rid of him. Therefore, I used the backup tool to give me a backup file to restore on my new computer. The file is in the file type, not JSON or HTML file, even though I didn't know it was a problem. Now, this computer has disappeared and I try to get my favorites on it but it won't work. How to make this work?

    What kind of backup do you have? A backup of the bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?

    If you have used MozBackup, you must install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.JasnaPaka.com/

    If you have used the bookmarks Organizer, you can simply add .json at the end of the file name.

  • Windows media player11.error windows media player cannot play dittos theplayer might not support the file type or might not support the codec used to compress the file

    • y at - it software that could help me.which will work with my Media Player to convert almost any format or find the good codec.so I can watch my videos, I have downloaded on my documents.there need some software out there that would do this work.so my media player 11 play my videos.

    Hi Bbdunford,

    O what is the file format?

    O if it works well before?

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

    There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

    1. in order to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

    2 download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download Codecs player

    3. configure the protocol settings

    On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.

    In the Streaming protocols area, select all the check boxes Protocol.

    When connecting to a server running Windows Media Services, Windows Media Player tries to use all selected protocols.

  • Need help with the advanced file Type changes

    Somehow all my folders of changed files option.  Instead of the folder when you click it, it opens the search.

    I know where and what to change, just do not know how.  Under Tools > folder options > file types, I select "files" and click "Advanced".  Of course, it says 'find '.  I click on 'new' under 'action', I type 'open', but what should I put under "Application used to perform action:"?  It won't let me not leave the field empty.  When I looked to see how it was done in 'file', 'edit' is gray.  I tried to look on other computers, but everyone has Vista, Vista doesn't even have a tab "file type" under folder options and I couldn't find it anywhere else.

    Even if you don't know the answer, if you could look to see what it says on your computer and let me know.  Like I said could not find on Vista, I am running XP.

    Yes, I know that I can do a right click on the folder and open it, and that's what I do.  It really happened to be a pain in the you-know-what.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to add "Add to Windows Media Player list" to the context Menu of the specific file types

    I use Windows XP Professional 64-bit and I can't understand how to do this, even after hours of reading on google.

    When I right click. MP3 files or. AVI files, they give the option to context menu "Add to Windows Media Player list" but other files that I wish it would show for such as. MKV or. AAC, I can't show him for. I have searched everywhere in the windows registry and cannot for the life of understand me this.

    It works perfectly well and appears on our windows vista computer and the old 32-bit windows xp computer, but it does not appear on my new current.

    How I'd go about adding this choice "Add to Windows Media Player list" when I right click on. MKV and. AAC files?

    If possible, I would like to do this without having to install any software. I don't have a problem with the registry change and prefer it if possible.
