View 4 RepliesI can create a homegroup on either of my two computers, but I can't join them. It'll just say 'there are no homegroups in this network'.I've followed all the instructions here, including disabling mcafee and norton which seems to be a commonly suggested solution. Still doesn't work. Maybe I didn't disable mcafee and norton properly? (I opened Start, searched for 'services.msc', clicked services and disabled the programs.)Then I came across this website which brought up something I hadn't done, i.e. disable WLAN partition. Apparently WLAN partition prevents computers from communicating with each other even if they're linked by the same wireless network. Assuming WLAN partition is the only thing standing in between me and homegroup awesomeness now, could anyone tell me how to follow this instruction:Login to DIR-600 setup page, default url is http://192.168.0.1, default username is admin and empty password.

I find the "bleeps" and "bonks" most annoying when I am navigating around Windows 7, and I am well aware what it says in the personalise/sound menus. The trouble is that opting for "no sound", or switching off individual sounds does not work. I have spent many hours on this problem, to little avail.
if there is a glitsch somewhere in the system,and if there is a solution other than to turn the speakers off. This would be a bit drastic some some of the sounds are useful.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to optimize my computer a bit, and in msconfig I have found many services from application that, at the best I only use occasionally. My question is, if I disable a service that is needed for an application, will it automatically be restarted when trying to run said application? Or do some applications really need to do something at startup to be fully functionally (seems a bit weird to me, but you never know...)

I've done searches in google and on the forums and everything points me to Local Policy (which I have done for years with XPPro), which Home doesn't have.
I read about Parental control, problem is, I need to disable my wife/in laws from installing apps and from what I read that doesn't really prevent them from installing apps anyways.
Is there anyway to do it in Home edition? Not really concerned with wife/in laws as much as I am with kids. Although they only have access to Miniclip and handful of other sites, some of these apps/links/download/installs can get nasty.
Also I've been using ProCon for Mozilla site control with WinXP Pro. Should I stick with that or does Windows 7 offer anything new as far as website access. I simply need to define which sites kids can access.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a notification popping up that says "The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system Administrator."I know why it is popping up, as I blocked a file from running in my O/S (Windows7-64bit Ultimate), but I would like to disable the message from appearing altogether, as it is so invasive that it will minimize fullscreen movies & apps and pop-up whenever it blocks the file from running. I am logged in to the only (Administrator) account on this computer.I know of 3 ways to restrict a file from running in Windows 7:1.Right-clicking the file and selecting "properties" and then modifying the permissions under "SYSTEM" to "Deny" "Read & Execute"2.Local Security Policy Console3.Group Policy ConsoleI guess my question is.. How can I make this notification 'silent'? (or disable the notification altogether)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 1 desktop and 2 laptops all running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Everything was working find till I had a fatal crash HD crash. Had to reinstall everything new on a Fresh HD.With the New install, my laptops can't access my desktop with out a network name and password?!? HOWEVER, my desktop can access share files on both laptops, but not the other way around. I've had things working before...and nothing has changed except the new OS install on a new HD.I don't understand what I am missing? All comps are able to see each other, I just cant get rid of the prompt for the user name and password when trying to access the fresh install on my desktop.I've gone in to the advance network sharing settings and check the radio button to "turn off password protected sharing" That should have done the trick.It seems to work on my laptops....but NO DICE????Last desperate thing, I even set up a HOMEGROUP(which i never needed to since i got the file share to work fine) BUT even in the HOMEGROUP, the same prompt for a user name and password keeps popping up when trying to access the desktop and Not from the desktop to the laptops?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying for hours now to disable the alt+tab screen. I want to record a sequence of keystrokes, I want to be able to record ctrl+alt+tab, but whenever I press the keys, the alt-tab screen comes up so the buttons won't get recorded. I also have to record them in the actual order, I can't move them around so basically:
I need to be able to press ctrl+alt+tab without bringing up the swtich screen. I need to record theese keys in order. Is there something I can change, maybe in the registry?
Is it possible to change the hotkeys in windows? So that ctrl+alt+tab does nothing, and then switch it back after I've recorded the keystrokes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI do not like at all using my touch pad with my laptop as i have lost more stuff doing that. Typing along and it somehow highlights everything and if you aren't watching and aren't fast, the next key stroke zaps everything.So I found before on my old lap top that the fn key and the f3 key together will work as a toggle (that sometimes irritatingly toggles its own self) to turn touch pad on and off.On my new laptop I found it had a control to completely disable the touchpad which was way cool, one time, done. Now amazingly enough the control is not locatable and the touch pad is activated and the fn f3 fix does not work either.computer manufacturer says restore to default settings but I don't buy it there has to be another way as that will wipe out all my settings and more?

Is there an app, or setting, I can use to hotspot a corner to disable sleep?I sometimes have things I need to run/download overnight, and the apps aren't preventing Windows 7 from sleeping. So I need to do it manually, preferably without going thru the route of manually altering the power settings.
