Automatic Setting Of Default Disk Space Allocation For Recycle Bin?

Apr 21, 2011

How do I set Windows 7's Recycle Bin to automatically have a default disk space allocation for deleted files from external hard drives and TrueCrypt-mounted volumes?I remember in Windows XP, I can set a percentage of total disk space that will automatically used as storage capacity for deleted files by the Recycle Bin, and this will be to all external HDs or TC-mounted volumes.Windows 7 defaults to the 'Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted' setting for newly mounted external HDs and TC mounted volumes. Since I am expecting deleted files to go to the Recycle Bin, sometimes this causes an 'Oops' when I delete files in external hard drives or TC mounted volumes, as Windows does not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin, but just deletes the files permanently.

Add Delete To Recycle Bin To Context Menu On Folder Space?

Jul 21, 2012

I want something on the context menu that:1. I can right click on empty folder space within the folder2. Context menu says "delete folder to recycle bin"3. The folder and all its contexts disappears and therefore so does the window I just used to delete itYou can do this with filemenu tools, but only for PERMANENT delete. I think this is too dangerous. Also sometimes I regret deleting something immediately. I just do it out of convenience. I have looked into the custom commands of filemenu tools and it does not facilitate this action.

What Is $RECYCLE.BIN On Portable SimpleTech Disk

Nov 7, 2012

I discovered what is called the $RECYCLE.BIN on a SimpleTech portable disk drive I use. It does not show up in the disk folder/file listing, but I can scan for it in the 'Find' routine (*recycle*.*)). What I am concerned with is that it may contain deleted files that need to be purged, but I can't see how to look at this $RECYCLE.BIN or delete any possible files.

Setting Winmail.exe As Default In Windows 7?

Feb 21, 2011

I am using Windows 7 Professional on an HP Envy laptop.I hate windows live mail.I do have Office 2010 installed and only use the contacts and calendar programs.I do not use Outlook.I have copied Vistas Winmail.exe program to Win 7 and reinstalled all my mail and settings from before with no problem. It works and I am reasonably happy. However, I cannot set it to default for .eml or mailto: links. I have been to the Control Panel and Default Programs.looked in "Set your default programs" and Windows Mail is not an option. It does not appear there at all.been to "Set program access and computer defaults" and set it as default under Custom.I tried going to the "Associate a file type or protocol with a program", found the .eml and mailto links and tried to change the program associated to Winmail.exe by browsing to the file and selecting it. But the file is grayed out and cannot be accepted as a change. The WinMail.exe file is also grayed out when you browse to it in Explorer, as it is a hidden file.

Default Programs & Setting Associations

Dec 12, 2009

I have installed Xemacs for windows and I'm having a problem associating it as the default program for .txt files. I know the standard process, but that standard process doesn't work. I have "Windows 7 Home Premium installed on a 32 bit system. I go thru the standard process via Default Progams/Associate a file type/ process and then browse to the Xemacs application. When I select it, nothing happens. When I check the association, it's shown as "Unknown application". Note: I have a 64bit system that handles the assocation just fine.

Also, on the original system, the choices for default programs is very limited. It seems that programs I have installed some how are not being populated in the eligible "default programs" list?

Any ideas? Is there a brute force way to add programs to the Windows 7 default programs list?

Setting Default Zoom Factor In IE 9?

Jun 15, 2011

How do you set the default zoom factor in IE 9?

I know about the option to automatically reset it whenever a new tab opens (found in the advanced tab in IE options), and I know that this is based off of what option is set in the "Ease of Access" control panel. The thing is, is that this is on a laptop, so I like all my icons and text outside of IE to be at 125%, but flash is messed up in IE if it isn't set to 100%. Also, every once in a while I discover that I have accidentally changed my zoom factor by hitting control+scroll (just a guess this is how it changes), and would like to avoid this.

Resetting Security Setting To Default Via Defltbase.inf

Dec 7, 2009

I'm a recovering victim of the "C: is not accessible" bug.

I recently found this which uses cmd to edit security settings:

Sample command to reset security settings:-

The steps below do not apply to Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions. To restore security setting for Home editions, either use the Microsoft Fix, System Restore or a backup.Note After security settings are applied, you cannot undo the changes without restoring from a backup.

If you are uncertain about how to restore your security settings to the default settings, you must make a complete backup that includes the System State (the registry files). Items that are reset include NTFS file system files and folders, the registry, policies, services, permissions , and group membership.

To restore your operating system to the original installation default security settings, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

In Windows XP, type the following command, and then press ENTER:secedit /configure /cfg %windir%
epairsecsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose.

In Windows Vista, type the following command, and then press ENTER:secedit /configure /cfg %windir%infdefltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose.

You receive a "Task is completed" message and a warning message that something could not be done. You can safely ignore this message. For more information about this message, see the %windir%SecurityLogsScesrv.log file.

Next steps After you run this Microsoft Fix it (or complete these manual steps), standard user accounts may no longer appear on the log on screen when you start your computer or try to switch users. This occurs because standard user accounts are removed from the Users group when you reset Windows security settings. To add the affected users accounts back to the Users group, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then All Programs. Or click Programs.

2. Click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt (Windows XP). Or right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run As Administrator (Windows Vista).

3. In the Command Prompt window, type net users and then press ENTER. A list of user accounts is displayed.

4. For each account name listed in the Command Prompt that is missing from the log on or switch user screen, type the following command and then press ENTER:

net local group users account name /add

5. Now go to the "Did this fix the problem?" section.

More information In Windows Vista, the Defltbase.inf file is a Security configuration template for the default security. You can view the settings for this file in the following location: %windir%infdefltbase.inf

Deleted Files From Other Hard Disk In Recycle Bin Is Lost After Install Fresh Windows 7

May 19, 2012

Yesterday, I just reinstall fresh windows 7. After I install the OS, I just realize that my recycle bin is empty. Before I installed windows 7, some of my deleted files on my other hard disk is there. But now, I could not find it anymore. After that, I tried to select show hidden folder, files, and drives and unsellect hide protected operating system files on folder options. I try to browse to one of my hard disk, which has the deleted files on recycle bin before, then I found it the recycle bin icon there as well (For instance, the path of the drive is: N:$RECYCLE.BIN). I tried to look at the properties, and I found that the missing size of the deleted files was on there. The problem is I cannot access it. When I tried to open the recycle bin, it just empty. I need some help with this. How do I retrieve the files again to the OS recycle bin, not the hard disk recycle bin? Is it possible to access it again? I really need those files back.

Windows Live Does Not Hold Default Email Setting?

Aug 3, 2011

I have put several e-mail addresses into my Windows Live E-mail folder. Some are Comcast addresses, some Gmail. I have set one of my Gmail addresses as my default e-mail address. This default setting doesn't hold. When I open my e-mail folder and try to send a new email, the default setting no longer shows. This requires that I set my outgoing e-mail address manually, which I should not need to do once I set my default address.

Setting Default Desktop For New Users Windows 7 64bit

Nov 9, 2012

I work for a large corp which provides a standard image. I install this image, and wish to make changes particular to our area (About 8 offices)

Then burn the image for new workstations. I have been doing the desktop customization, show menus, desktop icon size, etc. I then go to C:Users and copy that customized user and rename it to default.

This works but has side effects, such as a new users default location for documents is always the original users. Plus some of our software fails. So I am now wanting to change the registry to do the same thing.

My question: Is there a way to edit the "Default User" in the registry so that it would be used for any new user? That way I could set the default registry and all new users would get those settings.

How To Get Back Normal Text Size With A Default Setting Of 100% Dpi

Apr 16, 2011

I have a laptop that i often connect to a tv screen. When i am just using the laptop screen i keep the dpi value to its normal default setting, but inceease it when i connect it to the tv so things are easier to read. When i disconnect from the tv and go back to the laptop screen everything is too big bevause of the increased dpi,i set it back to its default settings.However when i do this everything is rediculously small and sometimes impossible to read. Even setting a larger dpi from this point creates text that is too small. I cant go higher from this point because it also makes my windows too big. Does anyone know how i can get back my normal text size with a default setting of 100% dpi?

Possible To Make An Automatic Install Disk For Third-party Programs?

Jun 19, 2012

I have found tutorials (here and elsewhere) for custom Windows (7/XP/Vista...) install disks, should you wish to tailor your Windows install to your needs. However, I have not found anything relating to my current question.While I will create one of these Windows disks, what I am wondering right now is: Is it possible to do the same thing with multiple programs from different vendors?I would like to eventually create a Windows install disk that has been trimmed of all the excesses I do not need, adding drivers, SP1 and some critical updates instead. If there is enough room on the install disk, I would like to add some third-party programs to be installed as well. It may turn out that I would need a Windows disk and an applications/programs disk also (as the programs themselves would be rather numerous and/or bulky).I know it is possible, since the big OEMs do this, but would it be cost-efficient (read: free), or even possible, for an end user to do

Installed Windows 7 On An SSD, 5gb Space Left, Set Default To Another?

Sep 30, 2012

I installed windows 7 on a 60gb OCZ SSD for a faster boot, and it's been wonderful until I realized that I only had 5gb of space left on it, I have a 1tb hard drive and a 500gb one and i'd like to set the default of everything to install on either one of those, is there a way to do that? By this i mean libraries, temp files, download defaults, install defaults, stuff like that.'ve already changed a few libraries and my temp, but stuff still manages to find a way on the SSD, like I just purchased Photoshop CS6 and I told it to install onto the 500gb hard drive but then i realized i had less space on my C:// drive and then when I looked around I realized it dumped a bunch of crap.
