My favorites folder doesn't work.I use to put things like my Homework folder.Now i have to click Computer / Media (I:) / Documents / School.That is a lot of clicks.Sure i can make a shortcut of the folder to my desktop but i am so used to using favorites. It contain desktop.Now everytime i want to save something to desktop i need to go to the top and type it out...before all i did was click. Long story short i relied on Favorites Folder.
Essentially, my Favorites folder is there. However in the navigation pane(the left side) the favorites folder doesn't show anything. Even when I try to add new locations to it " Add Current Location to Favorites". I also tried Restore Favorites link.This stop working after I deleted a whole bunch of folders.I recently had to do a system format. It was working but then i deleted a whole bunch of crap and shared files.Possible solutions:
1) System Image restore to a long time ago. Very time consuming. As my system image contains much more than just Windows.It contains my Media HDD/ Windows HDD/ Software HDD. decompressing and such...i dont want to this option
Is it at all possible to hide the Downloads, Links, Favorites, Searches, Videos, Saved Games, and Contacts folders (just the folder, not contents)? I've tried just hiding it like any other folder but it won't work.AND if possible, have explorer open in my home folder instead of libraries.
PS: I tried disabling libraries entirely, but it opens to My Documents instead of my home folder.
When I try to use backup and restore, the backup and restore window informs me that my F: drive is not connected (which it is). Also if I click on "change settings" or "turn on schedule", the link appears not to work, it simply sends me to the system folder. I would like to set up some sort of automatic back up of the whole system (not just my personal documents) but can't figure out how to get it to work.
I have Windows 7 on my computer. Can anyone tell me the difference between Start/favorites and the Favorites toolbar which is the third toolbar on top of the screen?
System Restore will not create a restore point or restore to a previous date & time.The error message was: A restore point could not be created: An error was detected in the Volume Shadow Copy Server (VSS).The problem occurred while trying to contact VSS writers. Verify that the Event System Sevice and the VSS service are running & check for associated errors in the event logs (0x80042318).Volume Shadow Copy is started & running (done in system events).Event System Sevice and the VSS service are started and running. But no cigar, SR still broken.
I am having trouble following links on web pages. sometimes I get to the page I need, but most of the time it doesn't work. I then have to copy and paste the shortcut address into the address bar at the top of the page. Have I got something set up wrong
My home network has six laptops and desktops connected. Over time some have been replaced, others had upgrades to Windows and some had Windows reinstalled. Now some of the devices have a load of printer links to printers or computers which no longer exist. Using the Devices and Printers does not allow the printers to be deleted. Microsoft at one time had a hot fix for this, but I can no longer find that.
definite fixes for the problem of compatibility between Windows 7 Professional and the D-Link WBR 1310 router? My brand new super-duper computer running Windows 7 won't recognize it as a viable means of getting on the internet. I am currently typing this on my Lenova laptop, XP Professional SP3, which runs fine wireless on the same router.Regardless of what I've tried (enter static IP addresses, opening up a new Broadband connection), the system won't recognize the router. The computer worked fine, and accessed the internet easily on my son's network (he put it together with the supervision of two of his techy friends).I am not technical enough to run diagnosis stuff, nor do I have the time to do so (in process of packing to move). Since I'm moving 300 miles away from my son, I'd like to get this fixed now, if it's something he has to do. If I just need to go out and buy a new router (even though I think this router is fine, and maybe Windows 7 needs to be more compatible to everything else out there), I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and do that.
I've recently got windows 7. When you click on send a link it does not come underlined so it is not clickable I belong to diabetics daily and often I want to share a low carb recipe I've found but it too I can't make clickable. I've checked internet options and it says underline all links but it doesn't. How do I make my links clickable in windows 7 like they were in XP?
I recently purchased an HP Pavilion g7 laptop. It has Windows 7 and I have Internet Explorer 9. When I click on links in my emails it opens up a new tab, but does not open the actual web page. In addition some links on webpages don't work (for instance the Print link on Google Maps). My popup blocker is turned off. What do I have to do to get these links to work?
Yesterday, a neighbor asked me what to do because all the shortcuts on the desktop, as well as everything in the Start menu suddenly would launch only Windows Media Player. Every shortcut/link on the computer lead to WMP. In other words, no program, other than WMP, could be started. Yet, looking at the Properties of individual shortcuts, the path to the exe file was correct in every case. Every exe program in the Start menu as well as all desktop shortcuts displayed the WMP icon. Going to the Program Files folder and trying to launch directly from exe files resulted in the launch of WMP. Trying to use System Tools/System Restore, going through the Start menu had the same result - WMP launched. There had been no new installation, or other change made.We finally fixed it by going to the Control Panel which did, in fact, allow us to launch System Restore and we restored the system to four days earlier. Three or four minutes later, after reboot, everything was perfect, but it was pure luck - we still had/have no idea of what took place.
I have an Acer 5741 running W7, all ok until few days ago.Now disc seems to be always busy doing something, and all actions slower and the busy rotating circle is often displayed.Control Panel opens but most CP links do not now respond eg View devices, uninstall a program.Some applications briefly open (via their desktop shortcut) but then their window auto closes and they disappear, eg Open Office, firefox, IE8, Fastone (with mssg has stopped working), Advanced System Care (ditto), FinePix (ditto). These appns do not appear in Task Manager either. Have tried access via wifi and direct connect but same results and even tried Firefox in Safe mode.Other appns are still however ok eg Adobe, Avast, Task Mgr, Crap Cleaner, Threatfire, Free Commander, Photocopier, Windows Defender.I have rolled back W7 to before when problem started but no improvement.It seems to me that its a W7 problem rather than the appns
When I get messages from someone sending from outlook with a link inside the message, it doesn't show up as a link in my email, and I cannot click on it and open it. I am using windows live mail on a 64 bit windows 7 computer.
I am running Windows 7 and gmail on a Toshiba C655-S5540 Laptop. When I log on to a page and try to link to an external link, or try to link to an external link off my email, all I get is an empty link.
