Windows 8 File History/Keep saved versions e.g. 3 months- does this mean that ALL files older than 3
I update and save quite a few files each day, and I can see in File History that there are many saved versions for these files. This would fill up my backup drive fairly quickly, and therefore, I need to reduce 'Keep saved versions' from the default of 'forever' to about 3 months. But does this mean that all files older than 3 months will be deleted my File History backup? What happens to all my files that have only ever been saved once, but are older than 3 months? Are these retained in File History or deleted? The forums on File History do no make this very clear. View the full article

Windows 7 public folder icon missing
Hi All,I see this problem has affected many people but what fixed their problem does not work for me.I have Windows 7 Ultimate x86, up to date, installed but can not access the public folder unless I go directly to C:UsersPublic myself. I have everything shown and not hidden, except the system files, and no public folder shows up anywhere. No open/save dialog shows the public folder as an option. I even tried registry fixes and they did not work.What am I missing? Where did MS hide the public folder icon and why does it not show as an option in any open/save dialog?Thanks for any help,Charles View the thread

Can I upgrade to Windows 7 even if there is a problem with Vista ?
I recently discovered that Windows Vista service pack 1 never installed properly on my computer (nobody who uses the device thought to let me know). Obviously I'm something like three years late in the game... I'm thinking of upgrading to Winows 7 and wondering if the upgrade wil install correctly considering there is something wrong with my version of Vista or if I first have to find a way to fix Vista before I can upgrade ?

file extension created by live movie maker when new project made
I opened up a bunch of clips with WLMM, had to edit a bunch of them ( making "projects") and then they became WLMP files, which I can't upload to Facebook...nor can I figure out how to change the extension. I had used Any Video Converter to change the extensions of the ones I didn't need to edit, but it won't even accept the WLMP file to begin with. I need to be able to post these to share with distant family, and the files are too big for email...help! Thanks View the thread

When I install update, I reboot, Updates still "ready".
It's strange! It's TWO updates specifically. (I haven't had any updates recently other than these two anyways) I'll show http://i.imgur.com/EfEk20T.png But then when I reboot (It shows them "Installing" when I Shut Down) They're still there! But my system recognizes them as "installed" but I get no errors. http://i.imgur.com/nhHRJaH.png (As you can see the installations are repeating) Also when i reboot they don't "Configure" like all of my other updates do.

Windows 7 PCs will no longer reboot after receiving updates
In my company we have about 50 Windows 7 Pro X64 PCs. I use System Center Essentials 2007 to update them with patches. I have noticed in the last couple of months that my clients no longer reboot automatically after receiving updates. A couple of days after approving some updates, I will look at my clients in SCE and it shows that they all received the updates "Pending Reboot". And unless I ask my staff to manually reboot (or they already did for other reasons), clients could remain in this state for weeks. My servers reboot fine and are updated through SCE as well. But I don't understand why the PCs won't reboot. My PCs are all Dells from 0-5 years old, running Office 2010 x86 and a few other small apps. Pretty simple. Thanks. View this thread

Windows 7 File Recovery system image VS recimg Custom Refresh image
Has anyone done some testing in regards to doing the full system image from Windows 7 File Recovery versus creating and setting a CustomRefresh.wim with the recimg tool? The Refresh seems easier to perform in the event I need to restore the image and it won't affect my user files. The file size is also smaller. One downside I see is that I don't automatically get versioned images like I do with the W7FR system image tool, but that doesn't bother me since I've never restored an image beyond the most recent one I've made. Thoughts? View the full article

applications close when PC is locked
I have a newly deployed Dell Optilex 790 Small Form Factor running Windows XP Pro w/SP3. The user reports that whenever she locks the PC (CTRL+ALT+DEL and "Lock this Computer") all of her running applications close. I have never seen this before. Does anyone know what might be causing this? View this thread
