Vista Won’t Remember My Folder Views
*** Update ***
This fix is no longer valid. After a month of smooth sailing, we’re back to the same problem. To our knowledge, there is currently no fix that lasts longer than a month. This fix will last at least that long, but you’ll be back to the same problem a month later. If you’ve tried something that seems to show promise, please let us know with a comment. Thanks for reading.
Vista has made huge strides in becoming a better OS. If you’ve read anything we’ve written to date about Vista, it’s all bad. But since the release of Service Pack 1 and 2, Vista has really come into its own. Rarely do you see the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. This due to Vista’s ability to selectively shut down and restart services before causing critical errors. The user interface is beautiful and somewhat familiar to XP users. The ability of Vista to repair itself has made leaps and bounds. But there is still one thing that is an absolute annoyance and frustration, and that is Vista’s ability to remember folder views.
I can’t Find My Firefox Bookmarks After a Recovery
Firefox has changed the default location of its bookmark store in Firefox 3. It used to be that you could find your bookmarks located at
1
Documents and Settings\ (name of the user) \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (name of the profile) bookmarks.html
This has now been changed to
1
Documents and Settings\ (name of the user) \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ (name of the profile) places.sqlite
What’s a good Anti-Virus to use?
We wrote this post in response to a comment on another post. We most often recommend Avast, AVG, and Zone Alarm. Our choices are based on products that are efficient in preventing virus infections, semi transparent, unobtrusive, and user friendly. And FYI. if you see the image below when copying files, you may have a virus. 
Avast free and Avast Pro:
Avast provides a free Anti-Virus, however we found it to be a little intrusive and irritating. Avast seems to pester its free users with constant pops and related to their paid product.
Their paid product however is a dream to use. The only time Avast Pro will ever pester you or slow your flow of work and surfing, is if you encounter a malicious script from a webpage, download malicious software, a viruses, or any other problem you may have.
Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, Short Review
We just recently obtained a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, the “best of the best”. I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this, the newest version of Windows. I wasn’t even going to chance loading this software onto my everyday machine. So I loaded it onto my IBM ThinkPad T-21, with 512 of RAM. Not exactly a blazing fast machine, but its always proved itself surprisingly robust.
