Vista - Windows Mail Spell Checker Dictionary

RJN,

It looks like you went to the C:\Programs Files\Windows Mail folder instead of the hidden C:\Users\(user- name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail folder from Notepad.

im running vista basic home 32 bit if thats of any help because vista is of no help to me its total rubbish i hate it cant run programs from Nasa thats how bad vista is

I dont know what your talking about i went to notepad etc etc

Thanks anyway it looks like you cant help me thanks for the effort and vista is an effort

I can help you if you are willing to stop the negative attitude and work through this.


In Notepad, click on File and Open.

Browse to the C:\Users\(Your user name folder)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail folder location.

Look for the Userdictionay.lex file

Thank you for your perseverance the negativity is due to the fact that vista is nowhere near XP and falls far short of expectations as not ever NASA programs run on it let alone find a simple program to correct spelling :-

I have been to notepad clicked on 'file' then 'open' then from there I cant fined your
C:\Users\(Your user name folder)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail folder location. or let alone find Userdictionay.lex file

Be sure to select (dot) Show hidden files and folders (click on link) in Folder Options first, then you should be able to see that location. If the Userdictionay.lex file is not there, then you have not added a word to the custom dictionary to have it yet.

I posted another screenshot to help to see what you should be seeing after clicking on File and Open in Notepad.

Sir
I have clicked on all you say and i only get those files i mentioned in an earlier text and yes i have inadvertently changed/added words in the custom dictionary ? if i knew how to cut and paste my screen shot id show you what I'm getting time after time and it nothing like your screen shot with folders etc


Thank you for your help but like i say vista is no friend

RJN,

This will help show you how to post a screenshot here as well. It may help in determining what is going wrong.

Well that's going to be a waste of time I have a Spanish keyboard so no Prtscn key or running windows 7 (which i hope is better than this crappie vista?)

I think we had better call a halt to trying to sort out this rubbish vista windows mail, it is total crap!! give me outlook express any day.
I thank you for your efforts, if you cant sort it out, it tells me just how bad vista is and if anyone is reading this then please do not opt for vista you like me would want to knock bill gates head against a wall and try to knock some sense into him!

To say I am extremely disappointed in vista is an understatement, I have now been mugged by Microsoft and I thought that would never happen as I say not even Nasa programs run on vista so what does that tell you I cant enjoy that site anymore so a BIG THANK YOU to you guys at microsoft for screwing me good and proper, who needs the Taliban as an enemy when our own guys are shafting us from the inside.
To say I am flaming mad with vista is about right.
Once again Brink thank you for your efforts it was much appreciated.

You're welcome RJ.

You might give Windows Live Mail a try instead. I find it to be much better than Windows Mail.

Thanks but i feel anything is better than this vista rubbish.
