I was wondering if it was possible to edit the Windows 7 Basic information in Control Panel. I wish to know if there are any tweaks or hacks available to do this, or what file(s) this information is stored in.
i have a toshiba satellite laptop l455d-s5976 with windows 7 home premium its only using 2.87 gb of 4 gb that i installed. it originally came with 2 gb. it uses a AMD sempron SI 42 2.10 ghz processor, i like to edit video and i thought getting more ram would help speed it up but i see that its not even using 3 gb of the 4. is there anyway to make it use more like 3 or so? because i read that i would have to get a 64 bit OS to use all the 4 gb.
I loved Windows XP automatic photo download program. Windows 7 won't let me put my pictures in separate folders or name them in batches like "Utah vacation"1-500. Is there a program out there that works like the one in Win XP?

And I made my post in Windows XP forum last time and it was wrong. But I believe I get it right this time. Yes, What I'm searching for is an app for Windows 7 OS.
I am trying to remove several context menu items for some file types AND folders.I've noticed that the right-click context menus differ depending on the file type, and also the folder type, depending on what type of files are in the folder. I've search far and wide, and have not been able to find software that will let me edit the menus. I've tried ShellExView and ShellMenuView but they don't list any of the menu items I'm looking for. I've tried every other software I could find. Does anyone insight into this? Is it impossible to remove certain items?
I downloaded some photos from my SD card to a folder in Windows Explorer on an HP laptop running Windows 7. The files/photos are definitely on the hard drive and I can view them with the Picasa Photo Viewer (they're in Nikon's raw format, NEF).However, when I open both Picasa and Nikon's Capture NX2 to edit and convert to JPEG's, neither program recognizes the folder I saved the photos to. The new folder is not in the list of folders in the My Pictures library.

I had a dual boot, xp/Win 7, The HD with the XP crashed. Reinstalled XP and now don't have dual boot option. Tried for 2 days to get it to work but to no avail. I reinstalled Win 7 on a different HD than the old install. Got the dual boot option back. Here's my question, can I edit the boot sequence to redirect to the old Win 7 install instead of the new one? So I don't have to re-install all my programs.
Can locate the required Logitech folder OK and open and examine the 10 .xml files for the various controllers OK.However when I try this within Notepad, can only get as far as the Logitech Folder.If the Folder is highlighted with the cursor all 10 files are listed. If I try to open the files, get the message ...No items match your search....Not sure how to open so that I can edit?
Its pretty nice, except that when I get to the login page for windows, it shows a picture of a finger print instead of my user pic. i found out that the image for the fingerprint scanner is part of a file called "BioCredProv.dll" in the system32 folder. So I made a cop of it, edited the copy with a dll editor so that the bitmap image is that of my user account, but now I can't replace the file in the system 32 folder. I've tried deleting the original and replacing it with the edited one, I've added 1 to the end of the edited file's name so it is "BioCredProv1.dll" and then attempted to change the registry to use this new file (but it gives me an error saying "Cannot edit: Error writing the value's new contents." I know it can be changed as I've seen another forum where two people gave two ways to change it (one using an ubuntu linux system to change the system32 file which I don't know how to do, and the other by creating his own new registry file, which I once again don't know how to do.)
how do I allow editing a song while it's playing in WMP, without getting this annoying message of "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in windows media player"?I would like to add that it won;t let me update it even if the song is not currently playing, but is just on the list on the right side window.
I overcame all the known troubles with editing MP3 tags, it's no problem. Since I don't like the presentation of my MP3's in iTunes I wrote a program in html/JavaScript that does all the work I want. I'm not a great programmer, just QuickBasic (Very Good!) and html/JavaScript. But now I meet a quite different problem. My program reads tags from the MP3 file itself. Reading 3 tags in over 5000 MP3's takes about 70 secs (Win 7 x64). To speed that up I place those tags (tit2, tpe1 and tcon) in the beginning of the file. I have to do that manually for each file with a text-editor, time consuming! But... is there a way to change the place of the tags in a MP3 file in a more automatic way?
it does not matter what program i try windows live movie maker, cyberlink powerdirector 7 and 8 when i preview the movie in the program it does not preview proberly it skips and than freezes i need help as i am startiing to hate windows 7 over this i dont know that because i use a 64 bit version if that helps.
Is it possible to edit the .ISO or anyother Image file with some software? I created a .ISO file but i forgot to add some files so i'm looking for a software that can inject files or folders into the image file or we can simply open the file in a particular program and edit them.
Can anyone recommend a good sound editing program? I have been using Audacity but it is driving me nuts! It is SLOW and CLUNKY and frequently freezes and crashes on my system (Win 7 64-bit). There has GOT to be a better sound editor out there.
I'm running Windows7 Enterprise, and I needed to install a virtual XP machine to run a very old compiler. I need to add an entry to the path so that I can access a folder structure in the command prompt. All of the default paths begin with %SystemRoot%, which I've found is the virtual C:WINDOWS directory. So:
1) Is there a way to add a path to just the virtual C: directory (not C:WINDOWS)?
2) When I add additional paths to C:WINDOWS using the %SystemRoot% syntax, they don't seem to be acknowledged in command prompt.
I have 2 HDD. So before windows boots I get the black screen with white letters (and a timer) asking which hard drive do I want to boot. Ok, no prob.
But both say "Windows 7" because thats the os I have installed on both. Im wondering if theres a way to change what is said, for example I want the first to say "Main" and the second to say "Bckp", that way I know what HDD im choosing to boot.
I just started using a new laptop with windows 7. been using vista in the past. I am trying to edit some photos and music manually. but by the time I finish editing an entire folder, some of the files have disappeared. If I check the properties of the folder containing the files, it shows that there is the correct number of files but when I open the folder, they are not there. Don't know where they are. Been trying to edit music info of some of my files. but they just keep disappearing.
I get this when i try to install windows 7 on my old laptop.Windows could not set the offline locale information. Error code: 0x80800000 tried searching online for this error, but found nothing. the laptop was dropped before. fell on its power cord side. I decided to reformat and this is the error i get.

The same message shown again.After message the VDS will stopped. I can restart and try install again. no luck.I also try sfc/scannow and no luck.My laptop is HP dv2000.
new hp windows 7 I'm trying to create recovery disc and I started it and didn't get the dvdr in fast enough and it started,you can't stop it once it starts. So after it copied the partition or tryed to. I started and put the dvdr in this time but I wonder if I didn't ruin the part of the drive I need to make the recovery disc. How can I check to see if the dvdr I had in there has the information I need in case down the road I need it? Would I just put the dvdr in the computer and open it at the hard drive? Maybe see the files there? I had w-xp before and I had no trouble making recovery disc there.
i have a mini netbook with windows 7 starter and since yesterday every time i start it up it shows me this system information window and pressing esc does nothing what can i do..
