I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a shortcut to windows security screen. Not to the lock screen but the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen that has the five options (lock this computer, switch user, log off, change a password, and start task manager
View 3 RepliesThat's basicly it. Running Windos 7 Home Premium on a newer Toshiba computer. Startup will act all fine and dandy until it reaches he part where the Windows sysmbol shows up is says Starting Windows. From there... well, that's it. I've left it there for 20 minutes and nothing happened. It does launch in safe mode.

I enabled PC Tablet Support in the windows features section of windows 7, but i still can't get windows to pop up that on screen keyboard icon that usually displays next to any type of data input fields.My windows is NOT installed on a tablet pc, but i recently connected a touch screen to my desktop and am hoping to get the same sort of functionality like my tablet edition of xp had.

I recently purchased a lenovo laptop for home purpose around 1.5 months back. The laptop was having already microsoft security essentials (MSE) and mcafee antivirus plus software. Unfortunately, yesterday i was facing blue screen on death type of error (BSOD) error. On one forum, I found that it may be due to the mcafee antivirus software. So, I uninstalled the software as per suggestion.Why MSE was not able to detect this bsod error? Moreover, why mcafee, which itself is a anti-virus software, was causing this issue?
Morever, I want to install good free antivirus software. I am totally confused whether should I install the antivirus software or, the internet security software. Please throw more light on good free internet security software from longer perspective. (I just found that almost all free trials are only for 1 month only)? Moreover, why built-in windows firewall and microsoft security essentials (MSE) are not enough for detecting malacious software. Why extra internet security software or antivirus software is required ?
I recently bought a notebook PC, and was quite annoyed to find that Intel has magically removed the ability to change the Centrino N 130 wireless adapter's MAC address.Before the nutters get in here with accusations of "illegal" activity, I feel obligated to point out that there is nothing "illegal" about changing the MAC address on my own property. Briefly, I want to pose my notebook as a hypothetical attacker, trying to bump one of my other wireless devices off the router by assuming its MAC address. I don't really know what would happen if I did this, because, like I said, Intel artificially crippled the Centrino N 130 through its Windows 7 drivers. Rather paternalistic of them.Another benefit of the proposed experiment: showing the futility of MAC filtering in keeping out the "bad guys." I have been convinced of this for some time, but been simultaneously unable to demonstrate it to my own satisfaction. There is no substitute for actually trying something, rather than just reading about it.
I am also a little annoyed at the Centrino N's (lack of) performance. I have yet to have it connect at greater than 72 Mbit/s, even while sitting less than 10 feet from the router with a clear line of sight.FWIW, my router is a NetGear WNR3500v2. N wireless is enabled. As far as I know, this router is capable of supporting a full 300 Mbit or so 802.11n wireless connection, as long as the wireless NIC on the other end is doing its part (which mine doesn't).With all that in mind, can someone suggest an N-capable wireless NIC that is not purposely crippled by its manufacturer? I would prefer an internal mini-PCIe card, but Intel seem to be the only ones making those. Even a G-capable or USB device would probably serve the purpose, if that's all that's available.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI often have to create Shortcuts to executable code. I used Shortcut Extension - Remove or Restore to get Code: SED.exe instead of the Windows 7 default Code: SED.exe - Shortcut as name of the newly created shortcut.
But I would prefer to have just 'SED'. Any way to do this automatically?
I think it might matter that I do not hide extensions ['Hide extensions for known files' (Option in Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options... -> View)].
Now, I actually have the exact same OEM disk of Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I have a sister that seems to think she owns my laptop. I have considered splitting my HDD partition into 2 so that I can have my own installation and part of the drive. The problem is that if I screw something up, my sister will have a cow (it's the only place where she stores her iTunes, etc. and she's stubborn to use anything else, she wouldn't even accept it on backup). Can I also have 2 of the same OEM copies on each partition? If not, I'm Out of luck.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get Windows 7 up-and-running on my Toshiba M200 tablet with an SSD.
The problem is that I do not have an external DVD and these machines don't allow booting from USB.
I've managed to get a fresh install onto the drive by installing it onto a partition of the old disk based drive and then copying this over using Norton Ghost. Unfortunately I cannot get this to boot, which I assume is a problem with the MBR.
I have a second machine running Windows 7, and If I mount the SSD using a USB caddy it all seems healthy and is marked as an active partition. Is there any way to get this drive booting without being able to load up the repair functions on the DVD?
I bought a computer that had Windows 7 on it, but didn't have an installation DVD. Well, I am unlucky or something, but twice over the years my Windows installation got corrupted or somesuch, now I would like to make a backup of it in case, without having to purchase a license of course. How would I do that? Do I have to download files? Insert a DVD and run a special program or something?

I have a fresh install of win 7 64 bit Home Premium. When I right click on a shortcut and open its properties dialog, the only tabs i get are "General", "Compatibility", "Security", "Details", and "Previous Versions", but no "Shortcut" tab. I have searched the Web and there are very few instances of this problem and no solution. I have tried everything I can think of with no success.

I read that you only get the option of doing it once - so it better be right the first time.I've found instructions for making a repair disc, also instructions for creating recovery discs - would those be the same? The computer did not come with any os disc at all, so I'm wondering if making repair/recovery disc is possible without an os disc?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI intend to load Ubuntu 10.04 onto my home desktop machine while retaining Win XP as well. I'll be creating a dual boot system, in other words, and then using XP only to run Photoshop. The rest of the stuff I need to do gets done just fine with Firefox, Open Office and Thunderbird.
The discussions about how to do this indicate a "restore disc" for XP should be created prior to starting, unless you still have the disc that came with the system.
I have the original Dell OS "re-installation" disc, still in the envelope with the key printed on the back.
My question: is the "re-installation" disc that came with the computer the same as a "recovery disc"? If not, what is the difference? And how do I go about creating a "recovery" disc.

[Code].....
I bought a new laptop with OS- DOS so what i did i bought the Windows 7 dvd and installed it. Everything was working fine then i decided to make partitions pf my HD. As i had 3 partitions c,d,e. Where i installed Windows 7 on 'c' i decided to leave it and shrink my d and e drives.Now when i first shrink my 'd' drive a message poped up regarding os with an option yes or no...... i dont know wht hapend to me as i did not read the message and hit yes since pressing no would have led to no partitions at all. now after that i made several partions that message didnt pop up again.Now when i restarted my windows it got stuck at the black screen with a blinking cursor.
1. Re-install windows i reinstalled it and when the final restart takes place b4 win launch same problem.
2. Deleting all partitions. Leting only one partition remaining.Unable to do that .... if i try to do it while installing win options.... the delete option is in active for new drives as it says " win cannot be installed in this drive".Now i am also unable to some how get into dos prompt to delete them from there...
(Long story below, feel free to scroll to the bottom paragraph just to see what the problems are I am trying to fix).I've been trying to get help on this issue all day and I am at the point in being lost that I am close to just finding out how to wipe the drives clean entirely and not use my SSD for my boot drive. So heres my issue.Yesterday I built a new computer. It has a M4 Crucial 128GB SSD and accompanying it is a Seagate 1TB HDD. My plan was to make my SSD the boot drive (which was easy enough) and then use the HDD for mass amounts of storage and just put a few of my most used programs/applications on the SSD to improve the speed of them. Well turns out that it wasn't that easy because I didn't think before hand to make changes or anything and all of the things I have been downloading/putting on the new PC have been saving on the SSD, a few things that were selectable for installation I manually put into the HDD (another problem with that coming up.Essentially when trying to delete a few files from the HDD I didn't need, I was told I wasn't able to due to not being the owner of the file (the folder is owned by SYSTEM) and all of the google-able solutions I tried didn't work such as changing permissions and setting my user account as owner.So essentially I am REALLY hoping, for the sake of my sanity and frustration level with building a new pc () that you guys can help me figure out why it won't delete these folders (nothing in the folders themselves are being used) and help me setup my HDD to be my primary drive where files/programs/folders save and being able to transfer files from my SSD over to my HDD. I am new to the whole SSD thing and already am regretting it despite how amazing its performance is.Edit: Also just to give you a bit more information, I am using a Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit disk (OEM) to install windows.
View 4 Replies View RelatedKeyboard shortcuts are very important to my computer use, which brings up a small but annoying problem I've been having in Windows 7. In XP I was able to place a shortcut to a program or even to a particular file on my Start Menu. If I then renamed the shortcut on the start menu with a unique initial character, I could start a program or access a particular file simply by hitting the Start key and then an initial. For example, for my most common Microsoft Word file, I need only hit Start and then the letter x, and up pops my most commonly used file. In Windows 7 when I try this I am delayed while Windows performs some sort of search for items starting with an x.
In a moment or two, it discovers there is only one such item, and it offers me this item in a list and I must hit enter to get the item to come up. The negative effect of this is still more pronounced when I start a new session and I know how want to open say three separate files/applications. In XP I can do this very quickly if the names I gave the shortcuts are unique. (And even if I have multiple items, say starting with the letter m, the Start men lets me essentially choose which m item I want by repeatedly hitting m. Very quickly, I learn that such and such file is: Start>mm>enter.) Is there a way to tell the Windows 7 Start Menu to behave like the XP Start Menu, at least in this regard?
