Check your e-mail security settings to determine how attachments are handled" appears in emails with attachments that I send from Win 7. Default email client is Thunderbird, but from what I can gather, the message is Windows-generated.
I found one site that mentioned editing the registry, but when I went to the supposed location in the registry there's nothing there remotely similar to the so called "tip" someone suggested. I've found no other instances of suggestions on how to eliminate that message.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a total of six computers on my network - 2 running Windows 7 and 4 running XP. With the exception of one computer, all of the machines see each other on the network and can share files. One XP machine does not see the shared folders of my new Win 7 machine but does list it as a "workgroup" computer. When I try to access the computer itself I am prompted for a password. Passwords are turned off on the Win 7 machine and none of the other computers on the network get prompted for passwords to access this computer. I assumed that it was due to the setting on the Win 7 machine but they are all set for sharing with everyone on the network. Passwords are off. Firewall is off as well. The network name is consistent across all the machines. I've been unable to find any information on why just one computer on the network would be prompted for a password to access another computer on the network.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I write protect a DVD-R after burning files that I want to permanently back up?
I've burned jpg images to a DVD+R for permanent backup with windows 7 drag & drop. I close the DVD burn session which I have read "finalizes" it but when I load the DVD I can still burn or delete files on it. If the files have the same name they are overwritten. I want to write protect the DVD. When I used Windows XP I used Roxio to drag & drop files to DVD & the disc had to be finalized so it could be read on other computers. This write protected the disc & when it was reload on any computer properties showed there was no room on the disc & it could not be written to & files could not be deleted.
On the right bottom of my screen is the msg: "Internet Protect Mode: Off.I know how to get the screen for this to show, but I'm not sure how I should mark off the settings; i.e. disable, enable, prompt. I'm afraid I'll chose the "wrong button".

View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to password protect a few folders on Windows 7, how can I do this? Ideally when someone would click on the folder there would be a prompt asking for a password, similar to what happens when you make a .zip and password protect it.
The only software I found till now which comes closest to my needs is Protected Folder, however you have to open the program each time and unlock the folder you want to use, then re lock it when ready, it's not so straightforward as I was imagining. Also I don't know if access will be blocked from other users on the network, once the folder is shared.
Is there a way to password protect a folder i.e. your pictures folder. For windows 7 ofc ^^

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just purchased an Asus rt-n66u Router. Found Here: [URL] I haven't hooked it up yet, as it's a Christmas gift to me from my wife and she don't know it yet...lol...So, I'm not sure if there is any software that comes with it to do such a thing as it's wrapped under the tree...
Basically, I want to hook my 3TB External USB HDD to the Router, so that all our devices can share the media on it, but I want it password protected so if someone else comes in the House, they can't access anything on there and only we are allowed to access it. I'm not sure if the whole drive can be locked or just specific folders on the drive.
Ohh, I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64, my other devices are all random. Including Mac, Windows XP, Windows 8, Windows 7 Student ed...
I have a write protected Buffalo HDD and I need to know how to remove the protection. I use windows 7 Pro.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy flat mate set up a security thing called Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools. What this does is, upon start up, before it lets you load windows, you need to enter a password and pin. Clearly, it is anoying, so he handed it to me to get rid of it. It will not uninstall, as it says it is still active, and must be deactivated. I went into services - found it - disabled it. I went into some .msc thing i saw on the HP forums, disabled it. I went into the BIOS - Disabled it. I have disabled every aspect of it, however, it will still not uninstall, and continues to ask for a password and pin prior to windows starting.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried using WinZip, a friend said that it's possible to password protect a ZIP file but I am unable to do so. I don't like WinRar and 7Zip much for daily use, so I would like to have an alternative to password protect my folders/files.
I have heard and read about many 3rd party softwares, but all of them create a separate folder in which I have transfer the files, similar to a real life locker. But the kind of software I need is the one which has the ability to right click a folder/file and set a password, and whenever someone clicks on it, the password is asked.
I DO NOT want the folder/file to be invisible, I want it to be visible but protected by a password. built-in or a 3rd party software to do so? I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit).

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy SSD with Windows 7 is O.K. - I can restore backup images.My Primary SamSung HDD is O.K. - I can restore backup images.My Secondary WDC HDD is what held my images and they vanished.Fortunately I have duplicates of most on an external HDD.I am currently scanning and attempting to recover from the Secondary HDD the few images that were not backed up.My WDC HDD was GPT which I have read is safer than MBR - but that did not work out well for me.I am thinking of cleaning it and using it as MBR,especially as Lost Partition Recovery is so much faster and easier on MBR than on GPT disks.If I use Windows Disk Management to make the WDC Disk "Offline" would that protect from a Linux glitch,or is it only Windows applications and tools that take any notice of Offline/Online settings ?Would the WDC be better protected if I refrain from allocating drive letters to the partitions on the WDC,and only access via the alternative Disk Management option "Mount in the following empty NTFS folder" ?
Windows always Recognises first the WDC HDC as Disc 0
and then the Samsung HDD as Disk 1
and finally the OCZ SSD as Disk 2 (even though it is connected to SATA port 0)
My Secondary WDC HDD was GPT with several partitions.I booted into a Linux Boot Flash Drive that I had slightly tweaked,and Linux aborted on start-up and the system restarted so I allowed a normal Windows 7 start-up.Windows Recognised the WDC HDD as Disk 0 BUT for some reason the GPT style Disc ID was a much shorter MBR style Disc ID.As usual the Samsung HDD was Disc 1, BUT IT WAS OFFLINE due to a Disk Signature Conflict.By Launching Macrium Reflect I saw that the WDC HDD was using the same 8 digit signature as the Samsung HDD.Windows Disk Management shows this WDC HDD as NOW being an MBR DISK with
100 MB Basic RAW Healthy(Active,Primary Partition)
25 GB Basic RAW Healthy(Primary Partition)
25 GB Unallocated
14 GB Free Space
531 GB Unallocated
MiniTool Power Data Recovery v 6.6 is able to perfectly recover 300 GB of files from the 531 GB Unallocated space,but two of the larger 6.5 GB files have the correct names and sizes but fail the MD5 checksum validation,so I know that some sparse damage has been done to a little bit of the information on the sectors.
