Windows 7 - Possible To Copy Icons And Settings To Other Computer?
Jul 1, 2011
I have 2 Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I was using the first one mainly, and it is already customized as I wish including control panel icons, folder icons, desktop icons, boot logo and boot sound and etc. Is there any way that I can copy all those settings to the other machine? (So that I wouldn't have to go to regedit and do all those setting again and again, and also arrange the boot logo and sound again)?

I just got a new Windows 7 home premium x64 box at home and I'm going through the mundane task of setting everything upIs there any easy way to copy all or some of my settings to other accounts on this PC? It is a real pain to help other family members when all of their settings are different. If I could just clone everything that would be fine or if you can only copy certain application settings that would be better than nothing.

I tried copying the desktop shortcuts that are on my XP Pro PC to my new Windows 7 PC. I found them on XP & made a copy on my external hard drive & powered off.Then I connected the external hard drive to the new Windows 7 system. I copied the external hard drive folder that has the desktop shortcuts on it into the apporpriate user (me) desktop folder of the C drive. The shortcuts can't seem to open for when I click on one to open it, there is no URL address shown on the Internet Explorer address area. Yet that information is there when I look at each shortcut's properties.

I have a Windows 7 64bit system with a failed motherboard. A replacement of the same model of motherboard is no longer sold so I had to get a new motherboard.With the new motherboard, I assume I should start with a clean install of Windows. Is that the best way? Will trying to boot my existing Windows 7 64 hard drive in a system with a new motherboard possible? Maybe I could boot into safe mode and install drivers for the new motherboard? (The new motherboard has a different chipset. I am coming from a P35 chipset to a G41 chipset.)If I can't boot my old hard drive on my new motherboard, is there software available that will copy the accounts and settings and registry entries from my old boot drive to a new boot drive?

I have the problem that my program is shown there but i can't set it to "Show Icon and Notification". Every time i close the program and open it again, the settings are the default "Only show notifications". Is there a work around to force this? And NO i don't want to check the options "Always show all Icons and notifications on the taskbar"

I'd like to just do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on a new drive for the same computer and use the previous drive for storage. But want to make sure everything goes well first. Oh and it's the windows 7 pro OEM system builder pack version.

I'm fixing my sisters computer, It froze on her, when she tried to start it up again it went into some sort of system repair mode and after about 20hrs of this (no joke) it gave me the option to restore the computer to factory settings, it also gave me the option to install some sort of backup on the hard drive, however i tried this and it said there was no room on the hard drive (if i didn't know any better I'd say the problem was with the hard drive) i went ahead with the system recovery as it seemed to be the only way to fix the computer (i know i sound like an oaf) now the computer is showing me a screen which states that i need to insert my windows installation disc, however the laptop has no disc drive!

I'm trying to configure a Windows 7 computer to set the default proxy settings by machine and not by user. I've managed to find the policy in [HKEY_LOCAL_..."ProxySettingsPerUser" and when I set that to 0 it gives me the effect I want and doesn't force me to edit the settings for each user.Similar to the problem this guy: ProxySettingsPerUser had. The proxy settings are now supposedly given from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area but after hours spent googling and trying to edit the proxy settings none of my attempts seemed to change it at all. where the computer searches for proxy settings when ProxySettingsPerUser is set to 0? I read that on XP it was the same place but in HKLM not HKCU but this does not seem to work in Windows 7.

I have one internal drive with 1 TB. The data there is very important to me , so I bought External removable drive for backup. Now, I want to copy the data from one drive to the second drive but I have to be sure I have a perfect copy of the data. The data is mostly songs movies and documents. I'm using windows 7.
My question is this:
1.If I'll transfer the data through windows 7 by copy and paste, I could be sure i have a perfect copy? 2.There are tools for comparison Between the original data to the data that was copied?

I recently copied my enormous music folder from old HD to new HD and I am having trouble sorting the newly migrated files to how they appeared previously on my old computer. Whenever I downloaded an album on my old PC, the album folder would be the most recent in my List view. Now on the new computer I can't get these same folders to arrange any other way but alphabetically! I relied on the previous method of sorting so that I could always know where to look for recently downloaded albums. I have tried just about every 'Sort by' option there is on my new Win 7 machine.

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) ?
