How To Control Explorer Format In Windows 7

Dec 20, 2012

Windows Explorer is now trying to treat all of my data as media files, wasting huge amounts of space on "artist" and "title" and other columns that have no relevance to .zip and .exe files. Manually changing the column selection works after the fact, but I don't want to have to correct it constantly. How do I keep it from making stupid "automatic" decisions like that?

Windows Explorer Stops Working In Control Panel?

Aug 21, 2009

Just installed windows 7 today everything seems to be going fine apart from a few usb modem driver & blue screen issues from that. I have one other strange problem If I navigate backwards and forwards a few times in control panel windows explorer stops working. That annoying box comes up and tells me it's stopped working just in case I didn't know already?

I'm just still trying to get used to the fact I have no classic view in control panel.

Windows 7 Explorer 50 / 80 CPU After Opening Folder With Music In Wav Format

Jul 1, 2010

I recently installed Windows 7 and now when I open a folder containing wav files explorer jumps up to 50 to 80 CPU usage.The folder contains wav music files because I am converting them from 320 mp3, and FLAC to use in Ableton Live, which is a music workstation.The folder it originally happened to came from my previous hard drive, which may have got damaged, so the files might be corrupt.. but this issue didn't happen with the folder in question after the hard drives incident (which may have resulted it having bad sectors), when I was using windows xp.Recently I converted a FLAC file to wav using this new windows 7 install. When I tried to access the folder that it was put it, again explorer jumped up to 80 percent, dllhost.exe is also contributing the cpu strain, with around 30 cpu usage.I googled this and I was recommend to download a patch for windows 7 which promised to solve the exact problem I had, it said something about explorer taking up CPU and corrupt wav files, however even after this fix.

Nvidia Color Control Versus Windows Color Control Settings?

Oct 12, 2010

I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.

Any Advantage To Using Commercial Software To Format / Reinstall Format Listed In Tutorials As Effective

Oct 21, 2011

If I use a commercial software like Drive Scrubber to clean my HD, will a Win 7 Upgrade Discboot ? I want to eliminate any possible virus/malware. Is there any advantage to using commercial software to format, or is the reinstall format listed in the tutorials as effective? My concern is that Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (KIS) had corrupted data bases and after removal and reinstallation did not perform well. I could not download anything, e.g. CCleaner and received Certificate Error questions on certain websites. Also, I would like a fresh registry to insure previous programs like Chrome, Firefox, KIS, remnants are eliminated.

How To Clean Up "Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons" Settings

Dec 21, 2011

When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.

How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?

Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.

Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?

Quick Format Vs Full Format

Mar 2, 2010

I am giving Fedora (Ext4) the boot from my 150G VelociRaptor and replacing it with Windows 7.What is the difference between a 'Quick' format and a 'Full' format. Does a quick format simply rewrite the FAT and a full format write 0's to the sectors? The reason I ask, is that I am concerned that the Linux Ext4 formatting may leave artifacts which I can do without. So, bite the bullet and go the long route, have lunch and a nap or take the quick way out?

How To Make Windows 7 Explorer Look Like XP Explorer

Mar 5, 2010

how to make W7 explorer display the file tree the same way that XP did? The W7 way is a total mishmash, IMHO. I can't understand the directory structure. The indentation on the display is very slight and hard to see so that it is very hard to tell where a subdirectory starts and ends. It takes a long time to fill in the file structure so that after several seconds, even minutes, the display is still jumping around. There are a lot of things that I like about W7 but this is NOT one of them. I use windows explorer a lot.

Fan Control On Macbook Pro 15 Inch Under Windows 7

Jul 19, 2009

I have the latest macbook pro 15 inch. I have installed windows 7 build 7100 on it via bootcamp. Most things are working but the box is running very hot. At idle I see 75C on the GPU and 60C on the processor. The fans will not come on until 80C. I don't want to run my computer at 80C. I talked to Apple and they told me that there was no way to change the EFI settings. They also told me that Windows 7 had no way to manage the fan settings via Apple's EFI. Is this true?

I downloaded speedfan and it was not able to control the fans.
