What would cause files to be excluded from Windows Search Indexer unexpectedly? The sad thing is, this is reproducable. I had 10 files selected, dragged them into flash, edited them, and saved them, and when I look back at Windows Explorer, only 4 of the 10 files are still listed. The rest have been purged from the windows search index, so I'll have to identify which ones and manually rename them, or rebuild the entire index and wait for it. |

Unable to install SQL Server 2012 How does .net 4.0 get broken in the first place that it needs repaired? How would you ever guess that the .net Framework is broken, to even consider repairing it? |

How can I alternate grid background color in excel when a value of a single column changes? This makes Excel grind to a halt on my machine, FYI. Especially when scrolling down through the conditionally formatted rows. Is there any way to copy the dynamic formatting and permanently apply it so that Excel doesn't lag terribly? There's a much more efficient way to do this with a hidden column. |

Windows 7 mouse cursor is offset two pixels up/left when “cursor shadow” is enabled (the default)? Ok, so the problem is suddenly gone. I tried it again today, looked at the magnifier and the mouse cursor stayed in the same spot when I clicked apply to add/remove shadows this time. That tells me that the cursor file is fine, but there must be a glitch somewhere in the dynamic shadow effect or the routines that render the mouse cursor. Most likely this is an operating system issue, or possibly a graphics driver issue if it handles mouse rendering in some special way. |

Windows 7 mouse cursor is offset two pixels up/left when “cursor shadow” is enabled (the default)? No one is making any sense. There are cursors and they have hot spots, right? The default, Windows 7 Aero cursor on my system is not lining up with the hot spot when shadows are enabled, so either the hot spot is wrong on the cursor file, or windows is by design using the same cursor, dynamically applying a shadow, and intentionally shifting the cursor image up and left to make it appear to float. Frame delay can't be an issue, because when clicking a button the cursor isn't moving. It's just in the wrong spot. |

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? I could not find a "Natural Number Sort" in the "Advanced Options" of Xplorer2, in either of the the Global or Layout Settings tabs. It is, however, under the "Advanced" tab of the normal "Options" menu item in the "Tools" menu. |

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? I meant, "a name mixed with a number" like a name "lesson" mixed with a number like "123", such as "lesson45" is not sorted by the "numeric value" part (i.e. the "45"), and is instead sorted as a character array, such that "lesson10" would precede "lesson2", because 1 comes before 10. It doesn't have any concept of a "numeric value" in a filename, instead interpreting the filename as individual characters only for sorting purposes. |

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? "But [The Property System] can only extract metadata which is stored in file streams, there is no way to extract and index dynamic data such as file size that isn't stored inside the file or inside a secondary stream. The result? All such extensions which used IColumnProvider are broken and forgotten. This valuable functionality seems to be lost with Windows Vista. Microsoft has simply turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the Folder size developer. I guess Windows XP is here to stay till Microsoft listens." xpwasmyidea.blogspot.com/2009/10/… |

WinRAR: Access is Denied when archiving The problem I'm having is that when using Explorer's right-click context menu to "add to archive" -- you know, the most convenient method -- it's not running as administrator so it can't create the archive. I wish there was a way to have such commands request elevation automatically instead of just throwing an error and giving up. |

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? I wrote an IColumnProvider handler for it, only to find out "Note Support for IColumnProvider has been removed as of Windows Vista. The Windows property system is used in its place." But the property system is far too complex. I later learned that a program called Xplorer2 restores the old IColumnProvider interface, and it worked, but I hate the interface.

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? That's not really what I'm trying to do. I could simply write a program in 5 minutes in C# to get all the stats on all the files I want, but then I would have to actually go through the list anyway to find those files to do all the dragging, dropping, copying, and pasting of files that I need to do. There's too much typing with this, and I have thousands of folders to jump between frequently. I just need to group by filename without extension in explorer. |

Is there a way to group files by name without extension in Windows 7 Explorer? If I group by filename, for example, all it gives me is two totally arbitrary groups of "A - H" and "I - P"; absolutely useless. |
