I can only get up to the $user$, even though I have unchecked the show

I'm out of space on my 120GB backup drive for the file backups and the
device backups.  I have deleted folders and files on the backup device, but
there isn't any documentation on what and where to delete.  What I guessed
at was so wrong one time that I had to format the disk and ...

In XP, I set up the format and columns I wanted to see in a Win Explorer and
used the Tools->FolderOptions to apply the settings to all folders.  After
that, each time I opened Win Explorer, the layout was the same.
I tried the same procedure in Vista and noticed that the 'Apply ...

I am usually very good with organizing my files.  At work I have Windows
XP and I have no problem with that, but at home I have Windows Vista and
it is driving me crazy!  For one, I have like 2 or 3 document and
desktop folder, don't know why, and I tried to combine them into only
