Can't Modify Or Reorder Wireless Network
Jun 19, 2012
In the Manage Wireless Networks window I have three wireless networks. Two of these networks are workplace networks (let's call them Work1 and Work2, the the other is my home network (Home1).
The Work1 network is grouped under Networks you can view, while Work2 and Home1 are grouped under Networks you can view, modify, and reorder. All three of them are set to automatically connect.
When I get to work and turn on my laptop it automatically connects to Work1 by default, but I actually want it to connect to Work2. I can manually disconnect from Work1 and connect to Work2, but I'd much prefer it to just automatically connect to Work2 by default.
The problem is, I can't modify or reorder Work1; I can't even remove it. If I view its Properties, I see a message saying "These settings are managed by your system administrator." and all options are greyed out.
I have system admin rights on my laptop, and I have spoken with the system administrator at work

I have always wondered why Microsoft never implemented this feature in the first place. Back when I had Windows XP and Vista, I used a program called taskix to reorder tabs on the taskbar.Now I have Windows 7. I have set the taskbar not to combine all like tabs under one icon. For instance, when I open several windows of google chrome, each window pops out as a seperate tab.When I try to move a google chrome tab around, Windows 7 automatically moves the entire tab group around my other pinned programs. For instance, say I have four google chrome tabs open and I want to move chrome tab number 2 up one. When I try to do this, windows 7 moves all four chrome tabs around.

You know what would be nice? If windows 7 (or, really, all versions of windows, I still run XP on another machine) allowed one to change the order of one's control panel icons (drag/reorder), so you could group similar features together (in "all control panel items"/"small icons" view).This should not be that difficult, if facebook can do it in photo albums, surely microsoft can figure it out in explorer? It would be much faster and easier to administrate my system if I could group similar items in the control panel nearby one another, instead of having to skim an entire page of randomosity to find the one thing I need to access.

Just upgraded to 7 enterprise from vista ultimate and the first extremely basic operation I try to perform seems to have been taken away!!?
I want to drag jpg files around to re order them in the explorer view (with the ultimate goal of highlighting them all and renaming them so it renames them in numerical order in the new order I set them in! But it doesn't want to let me drag and re order them? Am I being extremely stupid here or has this really been taken out of 7?

My rig uses a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless mini half-card. It reports the correct name except within the wireless network list. Instead of 6230 it reports 6320. I searched the registry to see if I could find the error, but nothing found. It's only a nuisance, and a minor one at that.

When you put your mouse on a folder, without clicking on it, it'll tell you few things. Is there an app that modify this to make it show (much) more things?

When you create a shortcut in Win 7 the name of the shortcut has the word "shortcut" appended to the end of the name.I simply want to change this so the name "shortcut" is in the beginning of the name. (like in earlier versions of Windows i think).I have found instructions online for adjusting the registry to remove the word "shortcut" totally...but i cant see how to just move it to the beginning.

I have got 4 hdds two IDEs (each one 40 GB to be used for storage purpose) and two SATAs (Seagate 500 GB and western digital 1 TB).SATA Seagate 500 GB has two NTFS partitions named as show below C name as ST_OS (for OS windows 7 ultimate 64 bit) and G named ST_STORAGE (for a storage purpose) I can rename them to whatever I like,[URL] SATA western digital 1 TB has two NTFS partitions as well named F and J ,,,,, whenever I (username that has admin privilege) rename (Right click properties then rename or through diskmgmt.msc tool to edit the drive name) those two partitions as below :[URL]
F --> WD_STORAGE1
J --> WD_STORAGE1
I won�t be able to see the names, only I see the letters ( i.e. F and J ) for them While when I access my computer through the � Safe Mode� (F8 boot process) I was able to see the name and letter for the SATA western digital 1 TB , please see the snap shot below :
F --> WD_STORAGE1
J --> WD_STORAGE1
[URL]
I have shared those two partitions [ F --> WD_STORAGE1), J --> WD_STORAGE1 ] on my home network I can see names and letters on other computers that have those two partitions mounted to them (map network drive)

I have tried installing Win 7 about ten times now (64 bit version) on about three different physical PCs and in around 6 VMs and always end up with a system that does not even permit itself to modify software that it has installed. Sometimes, an installation will run with no errors right to the end and then abort because it cannot write the start-up link to the programs start menu. There are hardly any options possible when installing Win 7 so I don't see that I'm setting a wrong option anywhere.

When I open the indexing options in control panel, it does not list anything - says its "waiting to receive indexing status".I located a "search" file in my directory with subfile "indexed locations" that lists literally everything on my computer including emails. Normally when I want to search for something on my hard drive I would not want emails to be included in the search. I also found "sticky notes" in that same subfile? I'd like to modify my search indexing but I can't get into the list of locations.

I would like to know how I can disable and reenable the wireless network from within Windows 7, without having to get up and hit the button on the modem. I tried going to network and sharing\network map and disabling there, but it had no effect on the wireless connections.also, I can't see the wireless connection at all in the network map. I can see my computer and my wifes, but not the kids xbox (which is whats using the wireless)

I'm looking into purchasing a new printer. However, the one I am interested in only has up to wireless G. I'm just looking for some opinions. Do you believe I'd be better off with one that has wireless N?

With my netbook Acer Aspire One 521 I have previously connected to both home and work wireless networks with no problems, however the work network no longer appears in the 'available connections' list. I get a variety of available connections from the local area (more than any other computer) but not the specific router I am looking for & sat next to!I can still connect at home no problems with the netbook (i.e the wireless adaptor is functional) and with my laptop I have no problems at work, nor do any of my colleagues - so the router is functioning correctly.I have tried:- restarting both netbook & router- checked the router is set to mixed (b&g signal type)- checked the wireless connections list for duplicate entries and tried deleting the saved previous entry for the work network- using a system restore point from when I could connect to the networkNo new software, antivirus/firewall etc.. have been installed since it has been working as I got all that up and running at home prior to taking it in to work.Laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium & netbook Windows 7 starter.

On 2 different laptops, one running professional, the other running Home Media, the computer tries to connect to my home network twice. The most frequent example is when I try to connect wirelessly, in network connections I will see my network named two time. "Connected to Network, Network1" When this happens I can not connect to the internet. I AM connected to the network and can see other PC's in the network. If I disable the device and re-enable it, this usually solves the issue.

I have 3 computers all running 64bit Windows Home premium all have 802.11n cards. 2 have no problem connecting to the wireless network the 3rd can see the network but won't connect or has the dreaded yellow exclamation mark with limited connectivity.
This seems to be a windows issue but not sure. When I look at the wireless profile in windows it says the security is WEP but the router is set up as WPA-2. I have tried changing the setting in Windows to WPA-2 but that then generates another error in the network discovery window saying the settings are not correct or something to that effect.
1) I have reinstalled the driver didn't work.
2) I have removed the security altogether didn't work.
3) reset the router didn't work (Although as stated earlier the other 2 computers connect with no problems)
4) Deleted wireless profile and started again didn't work.
The following worked untill I restarted the computer but would not after that even if I applied the same steps.
1) Assigned a static IP - This worked but once I restarted the computer it would no longer connect. Tired different IP address from 192.168.1-149. No joy
2)Copied the network profile from both the other machines same result as #1.

Prior to Saturday morning, my computer was able to detect the router and connect to the internet. However, as of yesterday, my computer is no longer able to see any wireless networks.My dad did change the frequency of the router yesterday, but all the other PC's in the house are able to connect again - except for mine. I've tried rebooting the livebox, rebooting my PC, pressing the wi-fi button, changing my adapter's usb slot and also reinstalling my adapter's drivers. None of these have made a difference.

I have just set up a wireless network, and my phone (android) can connect to it fine with the correct wep key, but my laptop (windows 7) cannot. it sees the network but when I try to connect it does not ask for a wep key, it just tells me it cannot connect. I have tried going into the 'network and sharing center' and connecting manually but no dice.

I have two PCs sitting side by side. They are both served by the same Linksys wireless router. One has a Linksys internal wireless adapter that does not recognize the wireless signal that the PC next to it is now receiving. Both PCs got the signal last week and worked fine before I installed windows 7 to the one that now cannot recognize my wireless network signal. That PC shows two old wireless network names that no longer exist, but it does not show the new wireless network.I have tried to go through the Control Panel to > Network and Internet to create the new Network name or get the adapter to sense the new network. But, no luck.What am I doing wrong? My Windows 7 install seems to have creamed my wireless network setup on the PC that will not now pick up the wireless signal.
