Separate computers are like separate toothbrushes. You could get by with just one, but who the hell would want to given the price of a toothbrush?
Hi WindowStar,
Wow, that is some real detail that I find very interesting, thank you so much. I can probably make changes fairly easily. All programs are in the programs folder so that much is OK. Now I will begin to better organize and place my other folders appropriately. I am going to have to read up on Permissions before I make changes to make sure this doesn't bite me later on.
I have copied your information and created a word document so I can easily/quickly refer to your excellent detailed information.
Thanks again for all your time you spent helping me out.
Best Regards..................Ralph

Yes please be very careful with permissions and especially taking ownership. I see many people here playing with that and they get into a lot of trouble quickly.
I am glad I can help, and I can learn while I am here too, that is what it is all about.
I know old post but does anyone have a fix yet? I have 434 computers here of which only the Windows 7 stations randomly exhibits this problem. XP, 2003 server, 2000 server and even an old NT4 server do not exhibit this behavior. I have tried disabling Win7 search and index, thumbnail generator and checked all permissions. It happens whether folder is on a network server or local hard drive or separate partition on the local hard drive. It is VERY RANDOM. Can go for months without a problem and then suddenly it occurs for no reason whatsoever. Sometimes it happens for the entire week. Its driving me nuts. I have also noticed this on my mom's computer at home with no domain or server system. I have also found this bug on display laptops at Best Buy and Costco.
Why did they have to reinvent the wheel?
