View 2 RepliesI have my "pictures" folder on a separate disk drive and have set Libraries to include it. However, I still have Microsoft's My Pictures folder and can't get rid of it. As a result, many applications get confused and save files to the wrong folder or I loose files myself.How can I modify the default Library to point ONLY to my chosen folder and not the defaults please? Or alternatively, get rid of the MS default library system completely as I HATE being forced to be organised like this by MS when no alternative is offered that works!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen 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 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedStill getting used to w7 and find little things that bug me, not really important, but is there a way to modify the way Explorer operates? Specifically, in xp, when one opens a file on the tree, the sub-folders also drop down on the tree, and adjust to the visible screen. My w7 (x64, sp1) doesn't do either of those things. Is this changeable?

i just installed dBpoweramp and i can see a complete metadata info about the audio files via popup info & Audio Properties tab (created by dBpoweramp), i consider some of them are advanced info like encoder settings, accuraterip results, CD catalog, etc. can we add a custom columns on Explorer for these info?
and tried to add an extra columns like 'compression ratio', 'encoded by' & 'bit depth' on Explorer but it shows nothing. I can see via dBpoweramp for some audio files, but not on Explorer, it just blank.
I was wondering if it was possible to modify one of the Windows shortcuts that comes with the program. I haven't been able to find a good answer yet. Basically I just wanted to switch the commands ctrl+N and ctrl+shift+N in Explorer. Is this possible

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
how can i modify to be compatible with Windows7 64bit?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently, I installed an SSD and formatted Windows 7 onto it. I use a 1TB Harddrive to save everything else to, but recently figured i'd do a little cleaning. When I tried deleting any of the files under F:Program Files however, it always came up with the same error :"You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this file" or"You require permission from ADMINISTRATOR to make changes to this file"Common sense led me to believe that it would be an active process that was behind all of this, but I'm not entirely sure what some of these folders even are; and one of the things I can't delete is a jpeg! I'm running on an admin account, and have even tried using 'net user administrator' in order to remove the files, but still, nothing
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been fiddling like mad for a couple of days now with a new Win7 Ultimate x64 machine "desktop", and using an old XP Pro machine as a fileserver, the last few hours getting the XP machine, which is rather old, to respond to Wake On LAN. I've been trying to track down why the DSL router is triggering it from standby mode, so I swapped to an older router than my usual one to see if it causes the same problem.Suddenly, the Win7 machine has decided it's found a "new network" and called it the exciting moniker "network 3". I don't want a new network. I am quite happy with the old one. I cannot find anywhere in the baffling wizards etc to tell it which network I am on. It just seems to be an arbitrary decision by Win 7. It seemed to happen a while after I unplugged the DSL side of the router from the phone line, to see if it was stuff coming in from the internet waking the server, but it didn't happen immediately, so I have no idea why Win 7 suddenly decided it had found a "new" network. All the IP addresses (static) are the same, etc.
Every version of Windows seems to get more opaque and designed to prevent anyone getting "under the hood" to see what is actually going on. How do I get under the hood to delete this network that I do not want that is precisely the same computers as the old one? If I plug in another different router some time, do I get yet another "new" network? Is there somewhere I can delete these networks? From the command line perhaps? I can find a "set up a new network" link in the Network And Sharing Center, but "get rid of this one you didn't want" doesn't seem to appear, for some reason.
I have a laptop with a ATI X300 grapics card. Newest drivers are for Vista. When trying to install them manually Windows says the drivers are meant for an older version of Windows.Any way to modify the .ini file of the drivers of something so Windows 8 will accept, "belive" it's Windows 8 drivers...?

Like many people out there I'm having problems renaming, deleting, moving, copying, and playing mkv files. If I attempt to do one of the above tasks, windows explorer will crash and I have to restart my computer. I ran a cmd scannow and there indeed was a problem with my cbs log. However, that has since been repaired yet the mkv problem persists. I've also adjusted my viewing options to only show details in the folder, hoping that perhaps it was the thumbnail generator that was to blame. This also did not work.The mkv file itself doesn't appear to be corrupted. I've been able to successfully transfer some files to an external hard drive. I've been able to play these files no problem on my work computer running windows xp.
I have a feeling it's somehow tied to divX. I've attempted to uninstall the program several times using the normal process from the control panel, once with ccleaner, and currently attempting a forced uninstall with a trial version of revo uninstaller pro. None of these has so far worked. Anyone have any bright ideas, save for reinstalling my OS? Also, please keep your suggestions in layman's termsI'm by no stretch well versed in computers.
I can't test on my PC because I use a 32 bits version of Windows 7 who not contains the folder that he want's to modify.
OS : Windows 7 64 bits (x86)
He wants to modify the rights of the folder "Program Files (x86)" but he have no access to do (see the screenhots)
He seems to be administrator. I wait for his confirmation.
I'm suprise that the menu doesn't contain the "advance" button..

I tried to research beforehand of course, only to find that the most common remedy that "allegedly" works, is increasing the horizontal icon spacing value. I tried this, even to the max value it allowed me of 150, but no change.The example case problem in question is that, on my desktop, I have a folder icon that is titled "Administrator", but for some reason Windows automatically cuts off the text so it reads like this:

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy issue is that i would like to be able to have media center audio play only through my tv and not through my pc main speaker system, tv is hooked through hdmi output on graphics card, speaker system through 5.1 output on motherboard. I have tried the audiorenderupdater extender but all that does is set default audio out for entire system, so when itunes is used or game is played on computer audio goes through tv. I would like all system noises, media player, and game audio to run through pc speakers and simultaneously all media center audio (recorded/live tv) to go through tv audio, so i can watch sports center while playing mass effect and have audio from sportscenter on tv audio from mass effect on pc speakers.
Also is there a way to separate media player's actions from media center's. For example if you are laying music in media player and then open media center and play a tv show, music playback stops, not a big deal just like media player better than itunes and would like to be able to watch tv in media center while playing music in media player rather than itunes
