Hi everyone, I've got 3 questons and I will appreciate your help;
1. when I bought my laptop I made partitons in my hard drive but now I want
to re-emerge them back together. How do I do that?
2. any now and than my internet explorer gets stuck and vista pops a massage
saying that the internet has stoped working and vista closes the internet.
Why does it happen and what can I do to stop it from freazing?
3. I erased my garbage bin on my desktop and I can't find it now. Where did
it go??
Thanks,
D

1. GParted or any disk management utility can do this.
2. This sounds like IE is crashes and has to be restarted. Without knowing
why it crashed cant really help.
3. If you emptied the Recycle Bin the files are gone from your system.
Only Recovery Software can get them back now and that is only if you have
not made any changes to your system since you have emptied your recycle bin.

2 start IE7 with no add-ons; see if that makes a diff.
If it does, add them back one at a time until you find the prob one.
You can go intoTools>Internet Options> advanced> and reset things> but I
don't think that is your prob at the present.

3.Right-click on your empty desktop>Personalise>change Desktop Icons> sort
it from there with the Garage Bin settings!.

Are you going to be another one that does NOT read posts!

The poster erased the BIN; she is NOT talking about the contents.
Be VERY careful what information you give out!!!

I think you had better hand back the MVP!

In the start menu type "Computer Management", and open the Management
Console. Then click on Storage->Disc Management (Local)... Then, you can
just right click on any partition, to see your available options, and do the
operation.

Does this happen always on the same site, or always at random? You should
try disabling your active Add-ons and/or ActiveX controls. If the problem
persists, you can always try another browser (e.g. Opera, Firefox,...)[color=blue]

You can get it back via Right click->Personalize->Change Desktop Icons
(Under Tasks, to the left), and just check the box next to Recycle Bin

Your welcome

Are you going to be another one that does NOT politely bring that to the
attention of the person whom replied !!!!!!!

Would have been very simple to have said,,,
Alex, I think you misread number 3 in the OP post. They said they removed
the Recycle Bin icon and not the contents.

We are all here to HELP each other, yes even the ones who make mistakes.

Hey Mick. Shut up for a minute. So I misread the OP 3rd question. Wow I

perfect either. Idiot. Who are you to criticize everyone else. I know for
fact you aint perfect. How? Your HUMAN.

Stupid top posting moron.
If you can't tell the difference between "delete" and "empty recycle bin",
then you truly are an idiot.
Vista is too complicated for you to use.
Try an abacus.

It can't be done with Vista's native tools, but most reputable 3rd
party partition management utilities can do this. BootItNG should meet
your needs; there's a free, fully functional 30-day evaluation version
available for downloading from [url]www.bootitng.com[/url]. You should be sure to
back up any important data before starting, as things can sometimes go
wrong.

I assume that you're speaking of Internet Explorer, and not the entire
internet? Impossible to say what's causing the problem without much
more information. What is the specific error? Does this happen only on
specific web sites? What kind of internet connection do you have,
dial-up, cable, dsl, wireless, etc.? What do your error logs report?

Do you mean that you're no longer displaying the "Recycle Bin?" If so,
right-click any blank spot on the Desktop, select Personalize > Change
Desktop Icons.

Sorry, but Vista's native Disk Management doesn't have the capability
to merge partitions. It's limited to creating, deleting, extending, or
shrinking actions only.

If it's so, then sorry for the wrong information... I currently have only 1
partition on each disc, and must have recalled it incorrectly... Thanks for
sorting that out!

In some cases you can delete a partition then extend an adjacent partition
into the unallocated space. Some 3rd party applications are better than the
built in facilities in Vista at this. I don't know of any applications that
will merge partitions keeping the files from both intact.
