| Guest | Missing Filters in Windows Explorer I just loaded Vista on a new laptop. In the music folder under my user name, I have several other folders (MP3, MIDI, Karaoke, Guitar Tabs, etc.). When I click on music and that is the folder that is shown in the address bar...if I do a search for a file that I know exists in one of the subfolders, it does not appear in the search (for example, the song "nightmoves"). I found out the reason it does not appear...if I click on the arrow in the heading "names", the only filter with a box to check or uncheck is A-H...so "nightmoves" will not show up. No matter what I have done, I cannot get the rest of the filters back (0-9, I-P, Q-Z)...so I cannot get complete results to any of my searches. I have rebooted to no avail. I have noticed that this is not a problem in some other folders and then in other folder searches, there will only be the I-P folder, or just the A-H and I-P. There is nothing consistant, some folders have all the filters and others have 1 or 2 of the filters. If anybody can tell me how to reset windows explorer so that all the filters appear in any explorer window or folder searches, I sure would appreciate it. I am computer literate, so if I need to make changes directly in the registry...I can do it with your instructions. I hope that I have explained this so that it is not too confusing. Thanks... Dan |

| Guest | Re: Missing Filters in Windows Explorer That's kind of odd, but I was able to replicate it. To get out of it, I clicked on the blue down arrow (recent pages) to the left of the address bar, and selected one of the "<-A-H" on the list...
