in trying to free up space i deleted some file doubles however i only the
last half was in the recycle bin...i now realise i need a file deleted in the
FIRST half! Is there a way to get back the first half which disappeared?!

Occasionally when I try to perform a full backup in vista it fails.  I get a
vss error.  Rebooting gets it to work again, but given a week or two it
comes back.   What can be done?
Thanks!

I right-clicked on a file and opened "Properties", then I clicked "Advanced".
On the pane that opened I selected "Encrypt contents to secure data", I think
I then waited for the files to be encrypted. Along the line the files were
copied to another disk. Since I have re-installed ...

I recently saved word documents to disc. It saved properly. Now I cannot
access the file from the disc because the original file/shortcut was deleted
from my computer. Can someone please help me so that I don't lose all my
documents.

I realize this question has been asked in many different ways, but I still
don't see an answer that works.  When viewing your files/folders in any
program or in Windows XP or Vista.  When you select a view from the View Menu
(like List), it is only temporary, it always reverts ...

Vista adds the useful capability of re-directing a folder to a different
location, e.g. C:\Users\Bob\Favorites to D:\Bob\Favorites. Use it to get
your data away from the OS, or gain concurency from the use of two
disks.

All of my shortcuts stopped working.  I cannot use the HELP instructions
because I can't right click on any of them!!!  Also I cannot delete and
create new shortcuts. Need help asap! Thanks!
I found postings of this problem but no response.

Dear Forum,
I am reposting these test results under a much clearer thread title, so that
people who come trawling the search results with a file recovery need will
spot this info more readily. The original problem was here:
