I edited the correct key in the registry. My only problem now is that other systems (computer, xbox (media sharing)), default to C:\Users\Public (which i have not yet deleted). I'm running Win Vista and have accessed the Computer Management window which contains the folder path for the shared folders, currently C:\Users\Public. My question for you:</p> <p>How do I change that to D:\Public? I cant just edit it there, nor does right-clicking offer any useful options. Is there something else in the Registry Editor i need to change?</p> <p>Thanks for your help,<br /> Michael</p> <p>p.s. I'm only moving it because my C:\ drive is full (250GB hard drive, public folder is over 100GB) and my D:\ drive is not being used at the moment. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/making-a-simple-animation#post-120488 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:30:02 +0000 SarahJames 120488@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks, Edmenje.

Did you check the shadowstorage how many restore points you have and how far they go back? Type VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWS into an elevated command prompt and you will know. They are dated. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cd-rom-troubles-on-vista#post-120482 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:23:06 +0000 whs 120482@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What is the filetype of those files? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-silence-my-keyboard#post-120481 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:59:11 +0000 denise555000 120481@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I think I toggled on a sticky key that makes my keyboard beep every time I tap a key. I held down the num lock key for about 20 second and it toggled it on.

The autoplay box opens and gives me the options to install or run program or open folder to view files . I can open and view the files but cannot start from there and if i click install or run it simply stops . Is there any way i can play these cd's on vista or will i have to get access to an xp system .

When all drivers are installed, everything is fine so far except for the wireless connection. broadcom is recognized and works normally. But in network center-&gt; manage you network, the 'wireless connection' is alway disabled, like this:<br /> <img src="http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu352/kulin/wireless.jpg" /><br /> one goes on to enable it:<br /> <img src="http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu352/kulin/wireless1.jpg" /><br /> and it would say it has been enabled:<br /> <img src="http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu352/kulin/wirelecon2.jpg" /><br /> But, the wireless connection is still grey. it's still disabled.<br /> so although the wl indicator is blue not amber, I get no connections. Though the bcm adapter is not disabled, the "wireless conncetion" in network center is disabled. and it cannot be enabled.<br /> Did someone happen to come across similar issue? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-view-pages-in-ie-or-ff#post-120470 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:59:09 +0000 at0mic 120470@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>if by any chance you've downloaded the broadcom wireless driver update with a linksys router you may want to revert back to the old driver. the updated driver does not work! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/shadow-explorer-problems-alternative-program#post-120468 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:44:06 +0000 Moochi99 120468@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Since Shadow Copy isn't available to me because I am using the home premium edition,I had to use Shadow Explorer, here is what happened:<br /> My files are still on the harddrive, I didn't delete them and I was still about to recover a lot of them (where ever they were) using Shadow Explorer but the last 3 folders gave me issues so my files are still... I just don't know where... and the start search keeps telling my that the link doesn't exist.<br /> I was able to find my files in the point-in-time drop down list which went back to 11/5/09 where my files were, I then exported it into my other hard drive, about half way through it starts saying that it cannot export certain files, then the program says that it's not running correctly, so I close it, now the earliest point-in-time date is 11/9/09, and I cannot find a way to make it show the earlier date like it did last time, I tried rebooting my computer, reinstalling shadow explorer and system recovery (which oddly only went as far back as 11/9/09 as well) is there a method of setting it to an earlier date or is there a different program to use? Or Maybe something I can change so that it displays older dates like it did 5 minutes ago?</p> <p>Also, my system restore points go way back to 2008, but since the Shadow Explorer error the earliest date is also 11/9/09.</p> <p>=/</p> <p>Thank you for reading this, I love you guys. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-xp-pro-on-new-hd#post-120454 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:40:33 +0000 LH 120454@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Nice to know it's running smoothly :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/installing-xp-pro-on-new-hd#post-120452 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:20:08 +0000 vistual 120452@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>gonna close this thread thanks to all that i replied ....<br /> just under a week now since the new install and all is fine .....<br /> was pretty smoov.<br /> thanks all for the feedback and tips.<br /> couldnt have have done it without y'all </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/cant-view-pages-in-ie-or-ff#post-120451 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:13:32 +0000 rmmfl 120451@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Is the one that is working actually connected to the router via an ethernet cable and the one that is not working trying to access the router through a wireless connection? If this is case you will have to configure the wireless connection on the computer using the WEP, WAP, or whatever other security key you are using for that wireless connection. There are a router or two that don't require the wireless signal to be protected from poachers but I really don't know of any (mainly because it allows others to steal your signal) especially when using Vista (or even XP for that matter). If this is the case (the one that is working is wired to the wireless router) try connecting the one that is not working by using a cable to the wireless router. If it works then, the problem is more than likely what I mentioned above. Good Luck! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/transferred-fils-on-flash-drive#post-120437 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:46:20 +0000 whs 120437@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I don`t think it would work any better when you buy it.

Adobe bothers you with constant updates. And many times it does not work correctly - e.g. the "save" function does not work at times. It also has a very large footprint. That`s for starters. Maybe the other friends have something to add. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/web-cam-wont-work-on-im-only-in-chat-rooms#post-120431 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:44:58 +0000 silverwings58 120431@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>web cam on two diff. computers wont work in personal rooms but both work in regular chat rooms?? one is vista/aptek cam and other is xp/pcultracam. both have messenger 8 and internet explorer 8. they both used to work but now nothing works. this is my hubbys computers and i have no idea what he had done but i cant fix it. please help. </p>
