Please. How did you do it? Make us "experts" all look like idiots. I, certainly have had "egg on my face" before, and can take it. So what's the secret? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window/page/2#post-41219 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 18:43:54 +0000 SarahJames 41219@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@ whs - so right. I'm curious now too.<br /> @ drifta - I'm a mod, now I just got to figure out how to add solved to a topic LOL (my first mod day ...) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-41135 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:47:49 +0000 whs 41135@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Too bad he did not let us know what MS said.

A forum where people assume that if they don't know about it, it doesn't exist will not help. I have contacted Microsoft, paid for support and resolved the issue. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40975 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 02:46:13 +0000 drifta 40975@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tanim i was not suggesting that you were wrong, i was only saying that if you have 2 comps than it is possible u got confused between the two.<br /> i have never seen "files stored....." in vista therefore i thaught u got confused<br /> i also searched google but came empty therefore if anyone has seen omething like that im sure they will help u out </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40966 Sat, 09 Aug 2008 01:39:53 +0000 Tannim 40966@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Oh, I am not upset in the least. I am just obviously in the wrong place to resolve this issue. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40929 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 21:39:57 +0000 whs 40929@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tannim, no need to get upset. This is just very different than what we have ever seen. That does not imply that we think you are wrong. I wonder whether anybody else has ever seen that. If yes, he/she should tell us. I am really curious from where that stems. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40866 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:29:16 +0000 Tannim 40866@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Drifta, I did not get confused between vista and xp, I had them on my laptop, which has only ever had vista on it. I appreciate the help guys, but just because you don't know doesn't make me wrong. Thanks anyway, I'll seek help elsewhere. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40860 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:57:33 +0000 drifta 40860@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>i concur<br /> i have had vista for a year now and i have never seen anything like the pic by scottW<br /> i think u got confused with vista and xp </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40848 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:20:59 +0000 whs 40848@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hmm, strange. I have never seen anything like that in Vista. The whole thing does not look like Vista in the first place. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40801 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:44:57 +0000 Tannim 40801@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hey ScottW, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I had them in Vista until about a week ago. Sad to see them go. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40599 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:37:52 +0000 ScottW 40599@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tannim, hello. Are you referring to "Files Stored on this Computer" as shown below?</p> <p><img src='http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/wxp_rtm_home_018.gif' /></p> <p>This is only used in XP, as far as I know. In My Computer, go to the menu View -&gt; Arrange Icons by -&gt; select "Type". In the same menu, make sure there is a check mark by "Show in Groups". </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40591 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:03:07 +0000 Budohorseman 40591@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Of course I'm at my XP machine and not my Vista, but I think they are similar in this case. In My Computer click on Tools...Folder Options then pick the View tab. There are many options that you can play around with to see if you get what you are looking for. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40586 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:51:55 +0000 whs 40586@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am not sure what you are looking for. Is it this you want?</p> <p><img src='http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/whs37/HTG9/c.png' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40585 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:45:39 +0000 Lighthouse 40585@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I concur with jd2066. I have not seen those in Vista either ? They sound very XP. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/documents-on-this-computer-group-missing-from-computer-window#post-40584 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:37:15 +0000 Tannim 40584@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I had it about a week ago, and I've been running vista for about a year now. I can't recall any system changes or added software in the last couple of weeks, so I'm a bit confused. </p>
