Getting Rid Of Bing
Aug 28, 2011On FF, I used to be able to type in a partial url and FF would get the rest and go there. Now, Bing interrupts, forcing me to type the entire url. I've removed Bing from the search engine list but that didn't help.
How do I get rid of Bing?
BTW, since the last MS update, it also infiltrated FF and made MSM my home page. This is making me think about going back to Linux.

Aug 25, 2010I run Win 7 Pro (64bit), COMODO Firewall, and Steganos AntiVirus 12 and the latest SpywareBlaster.Whenever I start-up I find a lot of cookies from MS have been deposited on to my C: Drive. They manage to go through my virus checker and all other forms of protection without any sort of problem.I know it all seems a bit paranoid but I cannot see why Bing and Zune cookies (3 month ones) are deposited onto my system as I don't even use their services!Deleting them is easy, though they do tend to re-appear regularly. Which means I have to keep deleting them.How do I stop them from getting onto my system

View 5 Replies View RelatedBing Download Causes Black Screen
Oct 2, 2011In the last couple of weeks, sometimes when I power on, I get nothing but a black screen. I have to do a hard turnoff, then press escape and do a restore. I checked update history, and everytime it shows - Bing Bar 7.0 (KB2528989) had been installed. Since I did a restore, the bing bar doesn't show where I can uninstall, so I had to disable automatic updates so I can use the computer! I don't want Bing - it is NOT critical, and need to know how to stop it without having to disable updates. If I let it install, I can't get past the black screen and have to restore, and then can't uninstall it, and it installs again! I have an HP Mini 311-1037-NR, with Windows Home Premium.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen Save Files From Programs Onto Desktop / Cannot See Them Directly From Actual Desktop
Oct 26, 2011When I save files from programs (aka Word, Photoshop, anything)onto my Desktop, I cannot see them directly from the actual desktop. I can only see them when I open up Explorer, and click on the Desktop tab. Then all my files are visible. I thought they were hidden...but they apparently aren't.It possibly seems like a refresh error.I did find a way around this..I go to Control Panel >> Appearance and Personalization >> Under Folder Options >> Show Hidden Files and Folders. I click on Reset folders, Apply, and then OK, and my missing files pop up on my actual desktop.But from then on, any new files I save are only visible in Explorer again. I don't want to go to Control Panel everytime I have to save something to the desktop? I've run Norton and Microsoft Essentials and I have no viruses. What can I do?I just found out I can also see my files after pressing f5 (refresh)so I guess the problem is HOW do I get my computer to refresh the desktop automatically?

Hiding Desktop Icons If Not Viewing Desktop?
Apr 23, 2012I've been looking around for something that can hide my desktop icons (or basically anything except my background & bottom navigation bar) if I'm not viewing the desktop.In other words, when I have a (not full screen) window open, I want to be able to see my desktop background but not the icons on it. When I "view" the desktop, or don't have anything on top of it, I want the icons back.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDesktop Icon Grid Changes When Using Extended Desktop?
May 25, 2012I have a really annoying problem with desktop icons.I use 2 monitors. 1920x1200 is the main dislay and 1600x1200 is another one for extended desktop. The thing is that I don't need it all the time so I'd like to switch the extended desktop on and off when I need it. Problem is that entering the ex. desktop just somehow changes the grid (it seems that the grid becomes more compressed in vertical direction). That means that it always messes my icons up. I don't know why do the Windows change the grid when I do not change the resolution or just anything that could possibly affect the main screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUnwanted Desktop Icons - How To Get Them Off The Desktop
Nov 1, 2012I recently upgraded a Win-XP home system to Win-7 Home Premium. Everything went fine. But I have four system icons on the desktop, two of which I want to keep and two that I'd like to get rid of. The two keepers are the My Computer and Network icons, the two I don't wan to see are the Home Group and Library icons. This machine is the only Win-7 box on the network so Home Group is moot, and I do not expect to explicitly use Libraries any time soon. So the associated icons are just clutter on the desktop. For whatever reason, the two keepers include a "delete" option in their right click menus but the two I actually want to delete don't. So, how do I get them off the desktop? I don't think any of the four were present on the desktop when I completed the installation, and I don't remember what I did to get them to show up.

Oct 17, 2011My windows 7 recently updated and now I'm having problems. I have read multiple forums about this problem but when I try what they say, nothing happens. It goes through its usual start up but right before it gets to the Windows logo it tells me that my files may be corrupted and gives a choice of repair mode (recommended) or start normally. If I start normally it goes to windows logo screen, waits for about a minute or two, then blue screens and restarts. If I safe mode it (along with multiple choices in the safe modes) it goes to windows logo and then blue screen restart. If I try repairing from hard drive it goes black then to a default background and doesn't do anything. I then try from disc. I try repairing it but it goes to a default background and then nothing. I then try to reinstall. That brings up a preparation background then stops.
I did find that when I play press the W, R, or Enter keys causes a reaction but to a small degree. I have tried almost everything. My hardware is fine and the bios says everything's fine. I have to hard drives, 1 is 1 TB, the other is 2 TB. 1 TB is Western Digital, 2TB is Itachi. The Itachi is my main one with OS. The western digital was my main but crashed. I try to take my Western out but the repair modes won't run right. I'm clueless at this point. Do I need a different windows 7 disc to try repair? Is there a special program I should try. Note: I cannot get to desktop and am posting this from a friends laptop
How To Set Up Desktop
Dec 21, 2012My elderly neighbor uses Windows7 on his computer. However, his desktop shows a blank colored screen (normal), but with a toolbar along the top of his screen with his normal desktop icons listed side-by-side in the toolbar (similar to how Yahoo Toolbar might look once online). His desktop icons aren't occupying any of the real estate on his desktop like all other computers I've seen. I can't drag the icons, or right click them to create desktop shortcuts.My friend wants his desktop to have these icons like most other computers do, that he can drag, create, arrange, etc. as the rest of the world does!
