Vista - re: File & Folder Tasks

Help: I can't get the File & Folder Tasks side bar to appear in my folders
on Vista, as they did in XP.."move the selected item, "delete the selected
item" "copy the selected item" .

I only get the Explorer under the Folders on the side.. How do you move a
file to somewhere in the computer without dragging and dropping or cutting
and pasting???

Hi Dee - Im having the exact same problem. I cant seem to work it out either
and it becomes a real pain. XP was much easier to use on this level. It seems
we have taken 1 step forward and 2 steps back, back to the era of Windows Me
and 2000 Professional. The organising list in Vista is similar to that of ME
and 2000 which is just not on. I found the XP File and Folder tasks much
easier and quicker.

It's not backwards, it's just different. ;-)
I've been using it for 5 months, and still finding new stuff...

You might like this... it add the Copy to & move to back to the right-click
menu
