Weird bug in Windows Vista
Well, there are some (ghm) bugs in Windows Vista. Most of those bugs are not harmful for your system, however there are some, that ready are. Here the little bug, I experienced today. Follow those steps to repro (don’t do it on files you need)
- Select multiple files
- Right click on those files and choose rename and change the name of one of those files
- Hit enter
- Expected result: all selected files renamed (name (0),name (1), name (2) etc)
- Actual result: all selected files renamed (name (0),name (1), name (2) etc)
- Expected result: all renamed files undo to it’s original names
- Actual result: all renamed files undo to it’s original names
- Expected result: all undid files redo to it’s new names
- Actual result: all files, except the first one, disappeared.
They are really disappear, they did not removed or deleted. They just disappear.
Workaround: Don’t redo multiple rename action.
Have a nice day

I m using 19 inches LCD wide screen with resolution of 1440 X 900 pixel
when i want to see the movie with full preview of monitor it doesnt take whole screen for video screen.
when i change resolution to 800 X 600 pixel it shows the full screen preview for any video.
This trick works in windows xp
but in windows vista at any resolution it doenst show the full screen preview.

They will show up back upon reboot
…
I had this a few month ago.. checking the recycle bin showed nothing, and I was sure I lost the files..
I even think I could not find them using a command prompt..
but after restart – tah dah!
