I've got a question. Now I know what you're thinking, 'how could weeksie have a question when he is the biggest nerd of all'. Well I do, and here it is:
How in sweet jesus do I set the folder view for every folder possible, including media folders, my documents, and other assorted shite than Vista wants to handle seperately? I know about Folder Options/Apply to All Folders, and the Remember Each Folder's View Settings setting, but I'll be fucked if I can get it to work for every single folder. I keep getting Rating/Album/Artist and other stupid column headings on the most random folders, and I want rid.
if you switch to details view and right click on the headings bar there's a "more..." option
hit it and uncheck the details you dont want to see.
Doesn't work, as those settings are on a per-folder basis. Even if I turn off 'remember each folders settings' then choose the exact columns I want and click the 'Apply to All Folders' button, if I go to any folder that has media in it (mp3/jpg etc) it thinks I want to see fucking artist, tag, rating, all sorts of shite.
Count yourself lucky you aren't using the 64 bit version of Vista. It's King Of The Wild Cunteer.

I thank you, most sincerely, for finding a solution to a growing annoyance I have with Vista.
It's not grown enough yet for me to be arsed fixing it, but now I've posted in here there's a chance the thread will pop up in usercp just as I'm ready to go the Thailand hammer route.
Wiiksie and Leeson repped.
(If it lets me).
How about "Tell Windows Fucking Update I still don't want to install SP1 yet and you don't need to keep asking me every six hours"?

Jim knows. That Date Modified column problem has driven me almost to insanity, why isn't it in every folder view?? I don't care what Genre my database files are, just tell me when they were fucking updated! And then you have to scroll through the list of all the available columns starting with 'Date'...
Anyway, Leeson found the reg hack that has worked wonders for me so far, check it out Jim.

I use 64-bit Vista. For some reason the slide show function crashes windows explorer and fucks up the screen resolution while it tries. When it's finished, my open windows have shrunk to xga size if they were bigger. Other than that, it has worked pretty well. On my previous pc, which wasn't Vista certified, I had more problems.
These days I'm actually considering doing a full scale test of Ubuntu when 8.10 releases, although that will cost me in loss of functionality. I fucking hate dual boot so I'm gonna have to do some virtualization.
I mean, even my RHEL 5.2 work machine can do slide shows without further ado!
It does indeed work and should save a lot of frustration.
I already had a "Bag", full of shit, under there, but still added the stuff the instructions said from that point on.

Apparently (and I can't be arsed to check this) Microsoft Office 2007 doesn't work on 64-bit Vista.

I have Office 2007 on mine and it runs like a beauty. That said, I'm no advanced Office user, so there could be some tricky shit that doesn't behave like it should.

Ah, my boss is talking out of his arse for a change then.

Oh and, as no-one else has said it yet - buy a Mac.
Pah! I'd much rather have a thick warm coat with a brolly on standby if needed.
Although I should maybe reconsider this given how wet I got on one of my recent walks.
Yet someone says all Macs are white these days - talk about drawing attention to yourself!
