Unable to rename Folders in Vista, after an update?

Unable to Rename Folders in Vista, after an update?

Your Vista Computer was working fine until you have done an update. This
failure to rename or move files and folders issue seems to affect users
installing official released KB938979 update from Microsoft.

We might try the following folder rename tool first to see whether it could be helpful. To simplifies the troubleshooting process, please follow the link below and download "Folder_rename_fix_32.zip"

http://www.biline.ca/dl_files/Folder_rename_fix_Vista_32.zip

To install the file:

1. Download the Folder_rename_fix_Vista_32.zip and extract the file which is called 'FD32.reg'.

2. Double click the FD32.reg file (Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.)

3. You'll get a registry editor warning asking "Are you sure you want to continue", please click Yes.

If you can't install that way, please extract it to a specific location, let's say drive C:\, then go Start button-> copy and paste "regedit c:\FD32.reg" (without the quotation marks) in the Start Search box and click Enter. It should also pop up the registry editor warning box and click Yes.

I hope it would fix that rename problem in your pc!

How to Recover Deleted Files

How to Recover Deleted Files

So you just accidentally deleted that important powerpoint slideset that you need to present tomorrow? Here’s how you can easily recover all of your important deleted data without tearing your hair out.

1. Check Recycle Bin:
The first and obvious thing to do is to check here carefully for the lost file and restore it. But if you’ve emptied Recycle Bin already you’re ready to move to the next step.

2. Stop Working On The PC:
When you delete a file it remains on the disc but is basically not accessible in any way directly from the operating system. However, as you keep working new files may overwrite the original one. Which is why you immediately need to do stop working.

3. Recover Files:
Use one of these applications (some of which may already exist on your PC) to get back any file:
Undelete Plus
PC Inspector

4. Lost Word Documents:
Deleted Word documents sometimes end up as backup files with a .wbk extension. Search for them in the same directory. Search for temp or autorecover files. If all else fails get Data Recovery Wizard.

5. Lost Photos:
Luckily the methods described above can get back your pictures from not just your hard-drive but also memory cards of phones and cameras. Just hook them up to your computer and run the software.

6. Wiped or Unbootable Discs:
If you’ve accidentally wiped out an entire disc there’s still hope. Get PhotoRec
