Enable more file types on Windows Vista Explorer Preview Pane
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Windows Vista | Leave a Comment
One of the great things about Windows Vista is the new Preview Pane in Windows Explorer. Now you can simply click on a file and get a preview of the document without having to open it! However, one of the not so great things about Vista is the fact that a lot of files types don’t work in the Preview Pane!

Posted on March 12, 2008 - Filed Under Windows Vista | 1 Comment
Other than the usual bugs found in Microsoft Vista, there are a few things that I like about it: one being the Aero “glass” interface and other visual effects. I personally am waiting till Service Pack 1 comes out before installing it on my main laptop as I’ve heard too many “I hate Vista” stories already!
Another nice-looking feature of Windows Vista is the breadcrumb style that you see in Windows Explorer as your browse through folders.

There are a bunch of programs that you can use to tweak Windows Vista and I had written about one earlier called MZ Vista Force, which had a good number of Windows Vista tweaks. However, I have just run across another program that not only allows you to tweak Windows Vista, but also has tons of options and features for customization, security, and optimization of your Vista OS.

Posted on January 1, 2008 - Filed Under Windows Vista | 3 Comments
Unfortunately, as many Windows Vista users know, there are still many applications out there that are simple incompatible with the Vista operating system! Either it’s a lack of drivers from the manufacturer or the program simply needs to be re-written because of the new code in the Vista OS.
After an upgrade, you might get a popup from Windows Vista stating that the application is missing .dll files that are needed to run or the application is incompatible and needs to be updated. So can you run these “incompatible” apps in Windows Vista? Actually, there’s a really simple way to tell Vista that the program should run like it would have run on Windows XP, or Windows 2000, etc using the Compatibility Tab.

Doing some spring cleaning on your computer and accidentally delete the Recycle Bin icon in Windows Vista? If your Recycle Bin icon is missing in Windows Vista, there’s a simple way you can get it back without having to edit the registry, etc as you might have read somewhere else.

So without further ado, here’s how you would get your Recycle Bin icon back in Windows Vista if you deleted it or removed it by accident.
