i recently broke my old laptop and had files on the harddrive which i really wanted so i bought a sata to usb drive and used that to retrieve most of my files and copy them on to my new laptop. I am having problems with some pictures which i had hidden in my old laptop (windows vista) and cant seem to get access to them on my new laptop (windows 7), all i see is a shaded out box.I have tried unhidding it using properties but still no joy. I guess it is something to do with permissions which i have tried playing with and still cant access it can anyone shead some light on this.
I have a segate 250GB hard disk, previously i had a HP laptop windows vista OS so it was easy for me to see hidden files on my harddisk but now in this windows 7 there is no option of viewiing hidden files
I was checking Microsoft Office Word Starter 2010 and I realized that one of the files had hidden text in it. From Options - Display, I chose show hidden text and it was "Top of Form" at the top of the page. But I got curious about this and made some search and I realized that you can hide text in a txt file with a stream method and also there can be hidden streams in processes also.How can I find out if a doc(x) file has no streams in it. I mean the hidden text may be seen by the method of Options - Display; but can someone hide something with a password in a doc(x) file? If yes, how can I find this out?
Some of my important system files are no longer hidden and I can't hide them even with the Command Prompt "attrib" command. Files such as bootmgr and ntldr are shown and I can't hide them. Also, show Protected System files is unchecked and show hidden files is also unchecked so they shouldn't be showing. I tried to re-add their system file attribute but I keep getting an "Access Denied" error in CMD and I do not have user account control on and I'm on a Default Administrator Account.
I would like to use my web-cam to take pictures . What programdo I need to do this? I use Windows 7 Ultimate Edition,Can I see The webcam Icon in My Computer as It comes in Win XP
I bought a webcam. It it did not require a data CD for installation.. I would like to use it for creating audible videos and snapshots. I had an older HP laptop and was able to locate the program and create a shortcut on the desktop and use the cam for photos and video. With my new HP I am unable to locate the program to copy to the desk top for easy access to once again, enjoy my cam

I have Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. I always like to have all of the icons, and pictures in a folder display as a large icon, however, because of something I must have done, most of them are in list form, then I have to change it to Large icon. I'm not sure if they are all holding their setting after reboot either but that's another issue.But for now, how do I make all of the pics in all of my image folders display as large icons? I think I may be missing a seeing for that in explorer but I do have Folder Options in my Control Panel.
"windows photo viewer can't open this picture because either photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest updates to photo viewer".im trying to save pics in jpg format from a site that i have saved pics from many times before without any issues but when i click on the saved pic i get that message. actually even the thumbnail looks different. it looks like some default blue & green image on the thumbnail.
Having a problem on my system, when I go to a web site (dont matter what one) I cant see all of the little pics that are suppose to be there,its like half of my stuff on the screen is missing, thought it was flash player.
I recently purchased new PC with Windows 7. I cannot figure out how to transfer Photos from my HP Printer to My Pics Folder on my PC. When I had XP it was a simple procedure and I really wish I had it back as there are so many things on Windows 7 that confuses the hell out of me.
Have a PowerPoint presentation set up.I wanted to move som pictures about but seem not able to do this with Windows 7.Can someone confirm this is correct please.Also if it is not possible any ideas how I can move the pics around I do not have a specific programme installed to do this having always done PP presentations on Windows XP before.
i have a hard drive disk and an enclosure to try and retrieve my pics, images and documents of my old on to my new laptop, but it keeps asking to format the E: drive disk, but this would defeat the object of trying to get them back
My computer qwill freeze for a few seconds followed by system lag which seems to get worse (freezing every few seconds/taking 2 seconds to recognise a click etc.). If i reset my computer it resolves the issue but i was hoping you guys may be able to give me more insight as to what the issue may be.It nearly always happens when i am browsing in firefox. Have never had it happen to me during gaming etc. which is why i'm hesitant to believe it is to do with my GPU or it's drivers which are always kept up to date.i have included pics of the cursor and what processes were running at the time of the freeze/lag
I intend to burn some hidden files onto a CD with a only a visible direct access into them, but the folder holding these files carry only the direct access onto the CD. I think that this trick might protect files on CDs from unauthorized copy. Does any one know how to do that?
Is it possible to hide a user profile and still using it by changing the login screen to ask both username and password?I know that usually on the login screen I can only see profiles that aren�t hidden (which makes logging to a hidden account impossible), but if I change the logging on to ask both username and password can I log in to that hidden profile?
discovered a way to change the Windows 7 file and folder view to "List" view instead of the default Win 7 "Details" view?In WinXP, you simply went to Folder Options dialog box >> "View" tab and it allowed you to change the view for an entire drive with one click. Win 7 does not do this.much prefer "List" view, but the only way to change it is folder-by-folder which becomes aggravating after several dozen folder changes.Plus, once you have changed the file view inside of a folder to "List" view... if you change the folder name, every file and folder, no matter how deep, inside that re-named folder will return to "Details" view.hat a PITA...I have Googled this and searched for some time, but have come up with no answer, I thought I might ask the folks at Tom's and see what we come up with.
I want to uninstall a program off my laptop. It's not showing up in the uninstall programs list so I presume it's hidden for some reason (The program is First Class - according to the applications website the removal route is through add & remove programs).
I know in XP there is an file which shows all installed programs and some have the word hidden at the beggining of the file name, which keeps the program name out of add & remove - I presume the same is true of Windows 7?
I'm using Windows 7 x64. I have placed the taskbar on top. I've noticed many applications will open at the top with the titlebar underneath the taskbar. This is extremely annoying and incredibly dumbfounding how Microsoft released Windows with this bug.
Got hit with a malware last week, piece of cake to remove. More annoying than anything. Anyway, side effect of it: it hides a bunch of your files so it can do its malware thing. Solution: I unhid everything on my C: to avoid any problems. Being the nutcase that I am, I'd now like to re-hide what was hidden by default from Windows. Anybody know where I could find a list/program to do this for me?
Twice now I have had all the updates that I have hidden become unhidden and indicate by bubble message that "updates are ready to be downloaded and installed."
Since these are mostly language packs they are NOT required for my system. Any idea why this has happened?
This last time this happened I had rebooted after a iTunes update and the bubble message popped up. Not sure what the circumstances were the first time.
