organizing files

[Lennard]

Hello!,

Hope someone can help!
I am Dutch and unfortunately there is no Dutch Vista discussion group.
Therefore I am using this discussion group. However I am using the Duch
version of Vista so I will do my very best to try to translate to english. My
apologies for any mistakes!

In Vista there are different options to organise the files in a folder: you
can choose 'sort' , 'group' and the one I have a question about 'stack' (in
dutch 'stapelen'). I don't know if this is the right translation but I hope
you know what I mean.
I use this option very often because I find it very handy. Here is the
problem: the problem occurs when i choose 'stack on name'. When I do this
everything appears to be fine: the categories a-e, f-l, m-r, s-z are shown
and the number of files in each category are shown. However, when I click a
category it is empty. So for example when i click category f-l it is empty.
While it says there are 266 files in it.
This only occurs when I 'stack on name'. Unfortunately this is the option i
use most. For your information: when i stack on file type or size it works
well. For example file type: it shows a pictogram for each file type and when
i click for example the file type jpeg I do get all the jpeg files.

This happens for example when I click any of the folders under my username
(lennard) on the C part. However, I have a copy of everything on another
partition, E:. All this is also saved under the username Lennard.
When I try to 'stack on name' here it does work... It shows the categories
a-e etcetera and when I click one of the categories I get all the files
starting with those letters.
So it only appears on C:, with all the files under my username.

You could say 'just use the copy on E: then'. But this is just a copy and
not always completely up to date.

I would really appreciate it if someone can help!

thanks,

Lennard

Hi, Lennard.

I am Dutch and unfortunately there is no Dutch Vista discussion group.

How about:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.nl.windows.vista

That one click should start your default newsreader (Windows Mail, unless
you've installed Windows Live Mail); create the News Account for the
Microsoft public news server, which is free and does not require a logon;
connect you to the Dutch newsgroup for Vista; download the 300 newest
messages; and present the latest post in the Reading Pane for you to read.
After some familiarization with the newsreader format, you can click Tools |
Options and customize the application in many ways to suit the way YOU use
it.

You will see the same messages there as in the Microsoft Communities (also
known a Discussion Groups), since these are actually Usenet newsgroups,
hosted on the Microsoft server, and presented in different ways depending on
how we access them. I can't read Dutch, but WLM shows me 3,764 posts there
in the past 90 days. Several are from Dutch, Belgian and other MVPs who do
speak Dutch.

Hello 'RC White',

Thanks for this.
I have created this newsgroup and will try it here too. Thanks!
If you might know the answer to my question (if it makes sense I would
be happy if you could share it with me.

Lennard

Hi, Lennard.

I'm glad you found the .nl.windows.vista newsgroup.

I'm sorry I can't help with your original question. My only other User is
my 5-year-old grandson, who spends most weekends with us, and mostly just
visits "Hot Wheels! Beat That!" Oh, and he loves the John Deere videos on
YouTube; many of those come from Holland and other European sites. ;<)
