Windows Vista: Fed up of File Size in KB

I do NOT like this tweak in Windows Vista where they have made all files in the %26quot;Details%26quot; view of explorer exhibit their file size in KB. In Windows XP we had a reasonable and quickly understandable view - all files above 1MB used to have their file sizes displayed in MB.



Now in Vista I'm stuck with this dumb KB thing where I have to deal with estimating general size of captured video from numbers like %26quot;34567891 KB%26quot;. What nonsense! It is SO user unfriendly! I don't need to know that my file is thousands of kb's! I know that a captured video file is GOING to be %26quot;huge%26quot;! Duh!!!



Does anyone know a tweak/tool or regedit or even where I can find an option to change this behaviour natively in Vista? I want my files in explorer's %26quot;Details%26quot; view to be shown the old way - in kb all the way to 1MB and then in MB's there after... in fact, in GB after reaching 1GB would be great too!!!



I'm sure lots of people miss that old convenience!

    Total paging file size (virtual memory) won't keep its settings.?

    I have a dell xps 400 running on windows xp. I started having problems where programs would shut themselves down or portions of my programs wouldn't run. Then it started telling me I didn't have enough virtual memory.



    I checked the virtual memory. It was set on system managed size, but would never allocate itself more than the 1553 mb that were recommended. I changed it to custom size, with a minimum of 2500 mb and a maximum of 3500 mb.



    This works great and fixed all my problems, only now when I reboot my computer it changes itself back to system managed size with 1553 mb. Anyone know how to fix this???
    Total paging file size (virtual memory) won't keep its settings.?
    That 1553 is what the computer uses normally. It will always stay at that number if the computer stays the same. Increasing the number doesn't really change what the computer will use, it will just allow that allocated memory to be used if say your computer starts using a lot of resources. If the setting sticks and your computer is running better you should not worry about it.



    If it resets back to the old setting after you reboot then it means your CMOS battery is failing.
    Total paging file size (virtual memory) won't keep its settings.?
    oh yes good ol dell
    Click the 'SET' button on the screen of the virt. mem. settings before you click 'OK'. This button is positioned right next to the min/max values you set for the virtual memory.
    You have to remember to press the [set] button. I had a friend do that. If that doesn't work you may have to do a reinstall XP



    I checked Microsoft's knowledge base and came up with nothing on this issue. But that's not saying much.



    Also as a recommendation set the minimum and maximum size to the same thing. This prevents addition and removal of %26quot;allocated%26quot; space and that cuts down on writing overall.
    I have a Dell, but I never had that problem.

    How do I compress an image on a Macbook?

    I need to change the file size of an image and possibly the file type to a jpeg in order to upload it onto the net. Im new to Macs and can't find anyway to do this! Please help!
    How do I compress an image on a Macbook?
    iPhoto can do just that.

    Drag and drop the file to iPhoto's icon on the Dock. iPhoto %26gt; Share menu %26gt; Export, you can choose the size and format. Export to the Desktop then upload to web.

    Preview can change the format from File %26gt; Save As but it doesn't resize images like iPhoto.

    Open it in a graphics program (I'm fond of GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/ ), then go to Save As and pick the JPEG file type.

    How do you make a picture smaller on Photoshop?

    I want to make a collage of my friends on photoshop but how do u make the picture smaller. I want to make them smaller not change the file size!
    How do you make a picture smaller on Photoshop?
    I dont have the program open in front of me so I will have to tell you what to look for. In the file menu somewhere look for %26quot;resample%26quot; You can make it any size or format you want
    How do you make a picture smaller on Photoshop?
    only hit ctrl+t and u can change the size
    To make the entire image smaller in appearance, you would use the %26quot;Image Size%26quot; command. To make individual pieces, or layers, of an image smaller (or larger, or tweaked or whatever) select the layer in question in your layers pallete, and then %26quot;Free Transform%26quot; or %26quot;Command T%26quot; on a mac (I forget the PC equiv, mb CTRL T or ALT T) and it brings up a border around the subject matter in question that you can drag, shift drag, etc.

    The size of my pics files are to big to fit on the disc, how do i change the file size?
    How do i copy my pictures to a CD?
    photo shop amnd other software will allow you to try different methods: reduce the resolution and/or storage type, number of colours etc. Hope that is what you mean.
    How do i copy my pictures to a CD?
    You only need to select %26quot;My Pictures%26quot; and select all from the folder you want to burn to CD....Then Copy to CD.......

    BUT - if any ONE of the pictures are too large (in memory size) you will find that they do not show on the TV. Answer is to %26quot;Compress%26quot; each slide until it is small enough (in memory size). You can do this individually or all at once via Microsoft Picture Manager if you have MS-Office. BUT...take a copy of them before you compress them otherwise you might get poor results if you want to enlarge them later on. DVD's seem to hang up if any ONE slide is bigger than 1.5 to 2 MB.



    Additional - If your DVD doesn't allow you to show one picture after another (manually or timed) it is probably because the files are too large. If they are NOT then the show will go on.....



    You only need to worry about the size if the %26quot;Slideshow%26quot; freezes up. It's then that you need to compress.
