I'm going to use Windows 7 for my media center PC. Its going to be a machine without a monitor, I'll just stream from extenders and control it with logmein.com for now. I've currently got 3 XP machines, I like to be able to share the hard drives and map them on my other PCs to easily drop files onto them. But I've noticed since Vista, I just cant access those hard drives. I try to map it, and usually the PC shows up but nothing is there to select. At the most, my wife's Vista laptop has allowed me to access her Public folder but thats it. Its got the be one of the biggest annoyances with vista for me. We have no firewalls or virus software (i just hate it..id rather reformat than sacrifice PC performance), we use the windows built in

How can I get permission to transfer files from my old hard drive which were protected by user accounts?

Ok. I had an old laptop (Acer 5920G) which would not power up and consequently I ended up purchasing a new latop to replace it. My old laptop ran Windows Vista Home Premium and my new latop is running Windows &. I have connected the hard drive
from my old laptop as an external hard drive to my new laptop and I can see all folders etc. However I want to be able to recover documents which were stored in user accounts on my old laptop. Thus far I haven't been able to successfully change ownership
of the folders I want to access. When I follow the steps I get a message which says 'An error occurred while applying security information to: [file path] the system cannot find the specified file' or 'An

How do I copy from my pictures to external hard drive ?
location:

November 17, 2011
Hi all, first time visitor so it may be a stupid question. I've been transferring pictures for years from my Windows XP pc, now I'm using the wife's lap-top more I've decided to copy pictures to the same external hard drive (a 1TB Iomegga) but I cannot seem to be able, nothing appears to give me the required function, can anybody help ?
I would like to keep them on the lap-top rather than transfer them, I'm only doing this as a back up in case anything goes wrong and they get lost.
Many thanks if you can help,
Adrian

I would like to remove Windows Search 4.0. I have read the applicable posts but have not seen a viable solution. It does NOT appear on the add/remove programs list. My computer is NOT infected with any viruses. When I went to review my update history it
showed that Windows search 4.0 (KB940157) could be removed through the add/remove programs control panel. Is there a good workaround?
