Just tonight after replacing my keyboard with a logitech G11, I tried to play Borderlands, but I have the strange menu bug. I cannot stay in any in game menu other then the skills menu for more then half a second. It always auto exits back to the game when I try.
i'm putting up my first post with my bsod error i get. i've gotten some in the past, but i decided to learn how to figure these things out this time.details:i usually get a bsod in a random situation either playing online games or just watching live streams (twitch.tv) or even Internet videos on occasion.
I know that the full version can be achieved while holding the shift key, but is there way to bypass that and have the regular full sized menu by default?
Okay, I'm not sure if this can be done as easily as I'm hoping. What I'm wanting to do is move already existing context menu items into a cascading context menu to organize and reduce clutter. For instance, I would have a cascading menu named "Scan with" and inside it would be avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.On a side note, does anyone know how to remove the following context menu items?Computer- Show on DesktopControl Panel- Show on DesktopImages- Set as desktopbackground- Print Rotate clockwise- Rotate counterclockwiseMusic/Videos- Add to Windows Media Player List
Just having a tidy up and "optimisation" session...was wondering how easy it would be to make a sub menu to put similar items in.
For example I have microsoft security essentials and malwarebytes context menu entries. How can I put them into one sub menu so they only take up one slot on the main context menu?
when you grab the my computer icon and drag it up to the top of the desktop and end up with a my computer menu that you can make auto disappear and what not. Well i liked this feature on vista and xp and i want to know how to get it back on windows 7, if it doesn't exist then i guess im going back to vista because that was a major feature for me.
I was having problems with my dell laptop, so I had to have a new hard drive installed. I just restored the computer, but now I can't find the menu I had before. When I first got the laptop there was a meu bar at the top middle of my screen allowing me to organize some of my programs. I'm pretty positive it was there when I first got and started my computer, but after the reinstall it's not there and I am unable to figure out how to get it back.
I am having a problem with Windows 7 Pro. My machine's slowest functions are waiting for ascreen to scroll, switching between different windows, and other "routine"operation commands. <div> I have run defrags,system optimizers, registry optimizer, removed temp files and cleaned the HDand other things, but the fact remains that my system slows when trying toexecute simple commands like "scroll!" (Have even adjusted scroll from the control panel options).<div> Am running with 2GB RAM, a slow 4500rpm HD of 250GB and anIntel Core 2 processor.
I have this weird thing going on in my laptop. On any program a drop down menu will appear and then starts scrolling down. It's like flashing cursor and not letting me type anything. It happens for all programs, whether I try to save a file or try to type a command in run. Even when I try to open a small sized notepad and try to scroll it down, it goes back up automatically and not coming to the end. Is there some kind of virus or an intruder/trojan hunter?Already tried running MS virus scanner. alkaparikh has chosen the best answer to his/her question.Click here to view the answer that was selected.
I'm having trouble with my start menu retaining Pinned items. They Pin/Unpin fine but disappear after restart or shut down. I'm getting nothing to identify what the problem might be
I have this small but highly annoying problem on Windows 7 64 bit. Alt + space focuses on the menu bar of a program when I don't want to.I'm an audio engineer that uses my home laptop to edit audio and video with programs like Sony Vegas and Cakewalk Sonar. These programs rely heavily on the Alt commands for quick zooming and other functions, and the spacebar is the de facto key for play and pause.However, I find myself often hitting Alt + scroll wheel to zoom out of tracks horizontally (since Ctrl + scroll scrolls vertically and Shift + scroll scrolls horizontally) and then immediately hitting the spacebar to play, only to find that Windows interprets this as Alt + space and automatically jumps me to the file menu of the program, disrupting whatever I was doing. Remapping Alt for all the various functions in the programs would be inconvenient and very challenging.Apparently, the gods at Microsoft have tried their hardest to make it impossible to prevent Alt + space (or Alt + anything) from opening the file menu, and I mean it is IMPOSSIBLE to remap this shortcut. I've searched everywhere, used AutoHotKey and key remappers, but nothing can change this shortcut without disabling the Alt key altogether.
I was wondering what could be causing my start menu to look so washed out. It's also too far to the left and down. I've attached a picture of what it looks like.
if it is possible to change to send to menu to a move to command? For Reference: [URL]
That is a small, easy tutorial to add a move to menu to the right click context menu, but it still isnt what I want it to do.
I do not want to have to hold the shift key when I right click and send to whatever location I have in the send to menu. I also do not want to have to tell it where I want to move the file each time using the method shown in the above link. I simply want to my computer to just move the file to the location in the menu instead of copying it there. Can this be done? Am I asking to much of my operating system? I am running windows 7 Ultimate x64.
When ever I'm on my computer, whether I'm browsing the web or typing a document or watching a movie, the right click menu randomly pops up, hindering what ever I am trying to do. Some times when typing it will pop up i escape out then go on to continue writing but it just comes back! It's extremely annoying and i can figure out what is causing it. I'm currently using a desktop machine with Windows 7 home premium 62 bit, and i have tried more than once unplugging my mouse and plugging it back in. I even swapped it out with a new mouse nothing changed!
after i did some tweaking on windows 7(first time ever) i somehow disabled the start search on the start menu. Now when i open the start menu i cant search which is bad.
Did you re-boot in between the removal / adding? yes of course i did reboot. btw, for clarity, the search box is present in the start menu, but when i type anything , it shows nothing
Keyboard shortcuts are very important to my computer use, which brings up a small but annoying problem I've been having in Windows 7. In XP I was able to place a shortcut to a program or even to a particular file on my Start Menu. If I then renamed the shortcut on the start menu with a unique initial character, I could start a program or access a particular file simply by hitting the Start key and then an initial. For example, for my most common Microsoft Word file, I need only hit Start and then the letter x, and up pops my most commonly used file. In Windows 7 when I try this I am delayed while Windows performs some sort of search for items starting with an x. In a moment or two, it discovers there is only one such item, and it offers me this item in a list and I must hit enter to get the item to come up. The negative effect of this is still more pronounced when I start a new session and I know how want to open say three separate files/applications. In XP I can do this very quickly if the names I gave the shortcuts are unique. (And even if I have multiple items, say starting with the letter m, the Start men lets me essentially choose which m item I want by repeatedly hitting m. Very quickly, I learn that such and such file is: Start>mm>enter.) is there a way to tell the Window 7 Start Menu to behave like the XP Start Menu?
Yesterday the favorites entry that led to the LIST of favorites and folders vanished.Also gone is the File menu. The sparse favorites bar with one pinned link is intact and useless.usersusernamefavorites is completely intact.hint(?) - On July 6 W7 booted the original configuration of IE9, with the Bing insanity. The desktop icons for text files did not get placed upon boot. Many program icons were missing. System restore had a restore point labeled Windows Crucial Update, dated July 4.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit, on a Gateway, motherboard is EG43M. It is a dual-core Pentium, CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz.
I have a virus that calls for running Windows Defender Offline. I'm trying to boot my PC from a USB drive to run WDO, but it doesn't work. I've tried pressing F12 on startup to enter the Boot Menu to change it. How do I gain entry to the Boot Menu to change to boot from USB drive?
