Announcing the Windows Experience Blog

You may have noticed a small change in the look of our blog today in the addition of "The Windows Experience" label to the header above the Windows Vista News section.  As you will surely surmise, today we're launching a new sister blog to compliment the Windows Vista Team blog; and, of course, this new blog will be called The Windows Experience.  The new blog will be managed by my colleague Brandon LeBlanc and will document his use of Windows Vista in various scenarios (think hi-def video, photography, virtualization, networking, etc), using video and photos to convey his experiences as much as possible.

 

The aim of the two blogs is to jointly illustrate the what, why and how of Windows Vista while continuing to generate conversations about the product and respond to the questions and concerns of you, the community.  So not to worry, the existing Team blog's reason for being and my role in it do change.

 

We're excited about this new development and hope you will be, too.  Your comments are always welcome, so feel free to let us know what you think as we move forward (once we've got some material on the new blog, that is).  In the meantime, please join me in welcoming Brandon and head over to the new Windows Experience blog to check out his initial post.

    The file you are looking for is by default located at %SystemRoot%\system32\dfrgui.exe. If the path is not available it could be a firewall issue, your administrator permissions could be broken or the file could be corrupt or missing. If you donot find dfrgui.exe in your system32 folder you may have another copy at C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-defrag-adminui_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_96df4cc29359e295. Hope this helps. Note your Search may not see the dfrgui.exe file until you open Search Options inside Search Tools and tick "Include system directories" Be sure to Switch out of Indexed Locations and Directly into your System drive usually C:.

    Those "Indexed files are remarkably fast but can miss lots of files. Hope this helps.

    Hey s10hotrod:  you're better off posting your questions to one of our Windows Vista newsgroups for assistance, as we're not equipped to provide direct product support via this blog; go here:  http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx.  Thanks for reading!

    I use windows vista movie maker heavily as I have a large library of home movies I am editing. Unfortunately, one of the main edit tools is transitions which when added to the timeline or storyboard freeze the video so that no further editing can be done. There are some suggested fixes on the web which I have applied but to no avail. Since so many kudos have been given to the Vista version of this program I am baffeled as to why this problem has not been highlighted as a major hinderance to the use of moviemaker.

    I have windows media player version 11.0.5721.5230 on my xp machine and version 6.0.6000 on my two vista machines. I am trying to listen to my dozens of christmas albums but cannot change the web assigned genre to christmas in vista as there is no christmas genre listed. There is a christmas genre in xp so it has been left out in the revision. Why? Gangsta and booty rap were options but not christmas.This simple but needed change needs to be made. A holidays genre would also be helpful.
