I decided to revert to my desktop. I backed up my OS HDD and thought I'd just install it in my old computer. Not. Now, I'm not only reinstalling Win7 (don't hate...it's not permanent) but ALL of my drivers (mobo, ethernet, graphics card, etc). What I thought would be a 5 minute task has turned into an all night ordeal. Fortunately, I have this nifty laptop to work on while I'm dicking around with the desktop. Without the laptop, I wouldn't have even been able to get online as I can't find my mobo install CD (with the ethernet driver). (Thanks again, TDA!) After all this, I have to reinstall a couple low rent games I've bought and reconfigure EVERYTHING. Once I get yet another new SSD (for an OS), I'm going back (again) to Linux.

EDIT: How the heck do you choose which folder Explorer opens when you click on the taskbar icon? For some reason, I just can't remember. Also, (this is the night of stupid questions) how do I get the toolbar to stay open? I know I can click ALT to open it.

EDIT #2: Every time I try to move a file, I get a pop up that says I need admin permission (I AM set as the administrator!). I can click "yes" (or something similar) but this is going to be yet another PITA. How do I fix this?

Might try changing permissions on the folder to you, and propagate it down. It may also be that the files are read/only. ( the details will be in the popup dialog ) Same solution route, only change it to r/w and not worry about ownership.

Might have been read only. It hasn't happened since. Next time I happens, I'll try changing permissions on that folder.
