Microsoft help desk told me that in registry
there is a number meaning max number of folders
for which Vista is able to remember settings.
By default, it it 5000. If your folder count
exceeds that, windows explorer might not work
properly anymore. You can fix this by editing
registry keys manually.

Funny how it is not yet fixed, two years after
Vista is in public.

Administrative Tools isn’t part of the Control Panel – it’s just a standard folder

OK, it’s a folder full of shortcuts located at:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools

But it is also a standard element in Control Panel.

Either way, it is not photos

Yes, the new event viewer is terrible. Sorting a column takes an age.

I know it’s probably nit-picking, but Administrative Tools isn’t part of the Control Panel – it’s just a standard folder.

Still, folder views are broken
