I accidently deleted the internet explorer icon on my task bar. I tried to restore my system to an earlier time and then the icon appeared. But, when I clicked on it, a box popped up saying internet explorer was renamed, moved or deleted. Now, I can't figure out how to get that icon back and an icon that works. Please help me figure out how to restore or add a internet explorer icon that works like I had before. Thank you. View the thread

I'm trying to install Access 2007 (from a CD) on a machine running fully updated Windows 7. The Product Key works and installation starts, but then repeatedly fails, leaving me a message stating, "Setup cannot find AccessR.WWAccRWW.cab. Browse to a valid installation source, and then click OK." I am unable to locate any such file. I have also tried repeatedly to install from the same CD onto a machine running fully updated Windows XP, also to no avail, and receive the same message. Can anyone enlighten me about this? What's happening? How can I get Access 2007 to install on the Win7 machine? Thanks for your help. View the thread

Why did visual studio 2010 stop compiling files with an apostrophe in their filename? We have a few files in one of our Visual Studio projects that contain an apostrophe in their filenames. We have been compiling those using Visual Studio 2010 projects for 12 years, at least 2 years using VS 2010. The last successful build was done on March 15, 2012. Now Visual Studio is ignoring the custom build rule altogether for those files, as if they had been marked to exclude from build, which is NOT the case. I tried inserting an apostrophe into the filename of one of our .CPP files which uses regular C++ build rules and not a custom build rule and when that is done, I get an error message when a build is started: cl : Command line error D8003: missing source filename I have tried this on more than one PC and I get identical results. The only Microsoft update that was installed since the last successful build was the March 2012 one. View the thread

I had gotten the update tonight along with others, the other updates were fine, but this one did not work, So I tried the microsoft fixit program, and it found that it was an update issue, and it tried to fix it, after it was done I attempted to retry the install, still did not work, so I did a clean boot as one of the guides said and tried both again, did not work. Then I found the install itself on the microsoft download list, downloaded it and tried to install it but it said it could not install. I keep getting the code 8024200D, but that has yet to help me. I have Windows 7 My computer came preinstalled with windows 7 home, but I upgraded to ultimate. If that is needed. View the thread

Original Title: Vista won't create desktop.ini Last week I noticed my computer running Vista Business SP2 won't create desktop.ini files anymore. So if I want to set a folder template to Pictures or Music, it won't keep the change because the desktop.ini file isn't created. I've been searching around and only found people who want to disable the creation of the file, with no solution. Any help how to enable it? View this thread
