I found some scripts that can move the sub-folders or files to a specific location but that's not what I'm after. Here's my situation:Folder 1Subfolder Afiles.xxxFolder 2Subfolder Bfiles.yyyFolder 3filez.zzzetc etcI'd like to move files.xxx to Folder 1, files.yyy to Folder 2, and leave all files.zzz alone. There's no consistent naming pattern in the subfolder names or contents and the file formats vary. Is it possible to script this?
Previous versions of Windows had a "sticky" default file "save as" subdirectory. e.g. when saving a group of photos from an email to a particular subdirectory you only had to point to that subdir in the first save. subsequent saves would by default go to that same subdir. In Win 7, everytime I do a "save as" for a picture (jpg, bmp, etc.) the default subdir is the PICTURE LIBRARY subdir. Is there a way to make Win7 remember the last subdir saved to so that you don't have to drill down through multiple subdir to get to the last subdir you accessed?
In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not both.
Its strange but my battery goes from 16% to 23% (Or etc% To etc%) in one minute, once when I get down to about 10% I have to hurry and find my charger because that is no longer accurate.. Does this mean my battery wearing out? The battery and the computer is one year old.
I'm at the end of my rope with my volume issue. I'm running Win 7 64 Pro with a Creative X-FI Gamer card (latest drivers).
The issue: Master volume keeps resetting to 30%. Noticed it happens when I bring my PC out of standby, and when I run certain apps like Creative's sound panel. I've tried the "Do Nothing" option on the Comms tab, and also tried unchecking the Exclusive Mode options which give apps direct control over the sound card. Nothing works.
Is there a way to set the master volume in the registry and/or create a task which runs periodically to adjust the volume to where I want it?
My neighbor's laptop hdd seemed not to be working right, he had left the laptop in the closet for 2 years anyway, so it seemed not a loss to run a utility that might bring the hdd back [might not], so I started the low level hdd pre-format from a disc I had been given.
That was about a month ago, and the 250 gb hdd is still not done. Should it really take this long, or is the hdd totalled?
I installed Hamachi Free VPN. I have shared (full control) my entire external drive for convenience for everyone on my LAN. However, there are some folders that need to be excluded from this share over the VPN due to sensitive information in those folders (other users on my LAN backup data to those folders).
Is there a way to restrict ALL users over the VPN from accessing those folders (without adding a rule for every user)?
I used to be able to see the ink levels of my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer everytime I went to print something. Since I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 I cannot find out how to see this information anymore.
At this moment the "low ink" red light is flashing and I have no idea which ink cartridge(s) I need to replace.
This tutorial will show you how to adjust the level of protection in the UAC (User Account Control) to under what circumstances be notified about your computer changes.
I recently installed Matrix: The Path of Neo, which is a great game, but its PC port is horrible.The problem is, the game detects any gamepad and maps its buttons automatically, with no options to change the buttons.So, the game uses the right analog stick to manipulate the camera but the X and the Y axis are switched so, what I wanted to do was to make Windows 'think' that the X axis is the Y axis and vice-versa.I already searched the internet and couldn't find any program that did this (xpadder, pinnacle game profiler, motionjoy, joytokey, none work)
My laptop dies if I am on the battery and the battery percent gets between 25-40% then it will just completely shut off. It never used to do this for the first 8 months i've owned it. Now it does it every time I'm on the battery. Also, right before this started happening I was getting GREAT battery life out of my battery, so I don't personally think the battery has gone bad, however you may feel different!
I've a question about Brightness in laptops When I use Cord to Power my Laptop I usually get higher contrast, brighter back lightning then just using battery.
I get as much brightness with Battery usage as with a Cord ?
i was wondering how can i use the blue input port on my pc for my speakers? I've run out of ports to put my speakers as my headphones are taking up a slot. I've tried plugging it in and changing the speaker configuration and it plays sound but not all the sound, for example it's missing the music in games but it still have sound effects
To change the volume level on Linux just put the little arrow-click on the audio icon on the taskbar and use the mouse wheel without having to click. This is possible in Windows Seven, changing some configuration in the system?
I have replicated a strange occurrence involving event viewer data over and over in case I was going insane and I would like to share this story in case someone can explain this spooky occurrence! A while ago I had to use system image restore (windows 7 image restore) to restore my entire system from a backup on my external. Everything went perfect, but one day whilst exploring Event Viewer I noticed some recorded events logged that occurred AFTER my image backup and before the restore. (the very events that clued me into running my image restore in the first place). Intrigued, I low level formatted my C: drive and again reinstalled from my image back up and again all recent events up to the most recent were still there in Event Viewer. How is this possible? Do I need an Exorcism performed on my PC? I have since replicated this multiple times out of share fascination. Any thoughts or priests that I could call on?
I map drives when I log in for my various network shares:
p: = fileserverd$
w: = webserverd$
Works great, everything normal. When I want to do something with higher privs, I run a DOS shortcut that's set to run as administrator. The DOS window opens and I cannot then access my mapped drives.
How do you force the generic USB audio driver in Windows 7 to operate at LINE level instead of microphone level? My Audio Technica Turntable uses the generic driver and I have to run the microphone level all the way down to 4 (out of 100) in order to get the proper level. The old XP driver had a line-level selection tab but no such option in Windows 7.
I Have doubt abt Domain level group policy! My question is i have many clients in my domain! i want to set Group policy for all clients using Domain controller! If new clients are been added to my domain. My group policy should be able to apply for the new client!
i am on a webpage, any webpage, and as i'm looking at the page it can slowly or quickly get smaller and smaller. my zoom will go from my normal 125% setting down to 12%. i reset the zoom and it happens again. this has been an interrmittent problem for the past few weeks. i use IE9. tonight i downloaded firefox to see if the problem would appear there also. it did. so i do think it's a windows is there some way to lock the zoom? what is causing this? my computer is set to download windows updates automatically (not the optional ones).i don't know if it's related, but at times the icons on my desktop get small. when i check i see that it is set to small icons. i change it back to medium icons, and it goes back to small icons. this also is intermittent, and sometimes seems to coincide with the webpage zoom issue, but not always.i sometimes lose my hot key settings for my wireless keyboard. for example, i hite the hot key for mail and nothing happens. this also is an intermittent issue that sometimes coincides with the other issues and sometimes does not.
I noticed when I went about doing a fresh install of Windows 7 on the HDD that shipped with my laptop, and using the partitioning and formatting options included in the installation routine, that when I'd do a format, the formatting would complete very rapidly. From this, I deduce that the installation routine does not perform a low-level format.Perhaps, from this I should conclude that a low-level format is completely unnecessary. Yet, I seem to remember reading somewhere online, at some point in time (note: this might have been back in the Win'95 days) that it's better to do a low-level format; to flip all the bits to zero.
In the last 2 days, my computer has been restarting whenever I loaded a level in a video game. Event Viewer shows Kernel Power critical errors (41, task 63). Basically, the error says something about insufficient or unstable power supply or whatever. I have a Corsair VX450 which is around 3 years old. I have a Geforce GTS 250 GPU, running at decent temps. My Q6600 also has good temps, so I think we can rule temps out as the source of the problem.
I will elaborate a bit more about the symptom: When a level is done loading and I hit START or whatever to start playing the level, that is, when the GPU kicks in, the PC reboots. I do have two audio drivers installed - one for the build in sound card and another for the non-built in one. I need them both, and I've had them both installed and running simultaneously since day one of using this PC. I did disable the built in one's driver, though. Is it possible that my PSU is no longer able to supply my GPU with the required power?
I face the old fashioned problem (now) in Windows 7 Explorer that, after a data backup (imgBurn) to DVD, the new DVD contents is not displayed until I cycle the tray!?
I had it plugged into my laptop when I was blowing it off and putting a copy of XP Pro on it. When it said to delete the partition, I clicked on the USB drive on accident. Now plugging it into Win 7 computer, it wants to format it. Is there any way to get my files? I have one word document in particular that has been my life's work. I had not backed it up in over 2 months.
