  No, Windows does not let you to set passwords that limit access to shared folders. However, if you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder by turning password protected sharing or disable. This allows only people with a user account and the password for your computer to access the Public folder over the network.

  Whether you are on a domain or not, you can limit access to other folders by choosing to share only with specific people, grant share permissions. Permissions can be granted to an individual or a group of users on the same network, allowing them to access your shared folders. You can also set the level of access, allowing people to just open shared files, or also to change, create, or delete. For more information, see

• I moved some film music and video files... AND their fiolders... NOW whole systems gone crazy loop

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  1. YEou programs have problems with
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  We assume that your machine does not start successfully because you don't give details specific, other than: "" NOW all systems gone crazy loop".

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Music and video through the center of backup and restore backup

  Vista Home Premium Centre of backup and restoration of claims that music and video files can be saved on CD or DVD. The structures of folders are created; However, the folders are empty. I disabled McAfee and tried with the same result. Can video and music files (mp3 and wma) be backed up by the backup center and restoration? Thank you.

  Hi ChicagoExPat,

  Make sure that the disks are writable, which means that you can add, remove, or modify the content. If you decide to use this method and have a lot of files to backup, be sure to have enough disks to complete the job. The back up files Wizard you indicates how much space you need whenever you perform a backup and recommends the type of media to use.

• iTunes "manually manage music and videos" option cannot be deselected.

  I changed my options on iTunes and now I can not uncheck "manually manage music and videos". I tried to uncheck and then clicked 'Apply' and after that, there is still not controlled. The first image shows the option checked. Picture 2 shows that "manually manage music and videos" was unchecked and I clicked apply. After I clicked on apply "manually manage music and videos" remains active. I want to know how do I uncheck "manually manage music and videos" and keep it unchecked. Any suggestions?

  

  

  What should I options you checked in the SETTINGS > tab MUSIC?

  Sync music checked?

  Entire library of music?

  Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres?

  Is probably a dependency between these parameters.

• AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

  My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

  Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

  It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.

  Hi kari skeins.

  You can re-create the database of Windows Media Player and see if that fixes the problem. Follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  (c), select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  (c) select the folder Media Player and then click on Delete on the file menu.
