Thanks!
Let's say that I want to stream a live TV news program, like CNNgo to my Win 10 PC. I want to keep the stream window open in a corner of my screen while I use the PC otherwise. Is there a built in...
I stand corrected. BootRacer does allow for the re-ordering of startup apps. It also allow you to maintain your app order when you uninstall Boot racer through Control Panel. Seems handy. I...
Thanks. Bootracer will evaluate startup apps, but does not let me do anything with respect to their execution order. A BAT file should work, but I'll have to learn the commands/syntax to open the...
Is there a way to set/reset the order in which startup apps run? I can do this to an extent with apps that have a background service, but the ones that I'm considering don't. My main goal is to...
Thanks. I'm quite sure. I always have run x64, and all of my add-ons seem to be in both. In the one that won't let me make FF the default browser, it seemed like some add-ons, like LastPass weren't...
After a bout with some spyware, I found that I have two entries for Firefox in my list of default programs in Win 10 settings. One won't let me pick Firefox as the default browser when I choose that...
You guys rock!
Ooops! My mistake, it does indeed. Sorry.
Thanks. That's basically what I did. However, the tutorial doesn't state how to remove the "Quick Launch" label.
Thanks! I got my original Quick Launch toolbar back, as in the attached screen. Then, it was a little tricky to find the settings to show only the icons. You have to careful as to where you...
I had a small area (toolbar) in the left side of my taskbar, next to the Start button. I used it to store shortcuts to my most-used programs. It also stored my "show desktop" icon, but forgot where...
Thanks very much! I resolved the issue by doing a manual uninstall (had to; uninstaller broke) of Classic Shell. As soon as I did that, the desktop reverted to my desired, plain Win 7/8 solid color...
I've been using Classic Shell for years, and suddenly my desktop reverted back to Win 10 style, from my chosen plain old Win 7. Now, I can't seem to find the Classic Shell setting to get back to Win...
Thanks! I've overcome the issue by re-installing the problem app.
In the latest edition of Windows 10, is there way to make an app open to a custom size after I close the app? A registry setting perhaps? Thanks.
Thanks. I've seen many of the earlier posts on this issue. Typically, it's my graphics (IrfanView), PDF (Acrobat Pro), Video (VLC), and HTML (Firefox) apps that makes MS complain most often. As my...
Thanks. I've tried them all more than once, but while they'll set my apps to my chosen ones, MS manages to revert them to the MS apps at some point.
I'm on Win 10 1709, Build 16299. Is there anything new that I can try to stop Windows from resetting my chosen, default apps to the typical MS apps? It seems that every fix I've tried fails. ...
Sure. If you can to the System menu by any means, you're good to go. Otherwise, it would be tough to impossible to get to the drive for a more technical repair.
FWIW, you can get toe system to boot to a USB device from startup, if you open the on-screen keyboard at power up, click Shift to highlight it, and restart. That actually just takes you to the...
Thanks, Brink, but those options also failed. I know that I can do it from the advanced startup options, but want to boot from a shutdown. There can be times when you can't get into Windows to get...
I have a new Surface Laptop and want to boot to a USB thumb. Unlike the Surface Pro, the laptop does not have a Volume button. It does use F5/F6, but neither work for booting. I know that I can...
Thanks. If you're talking logical sectors, yes, can image the logical sectors from the running system. However, the physical drive remains encrypted while the system is running, so you wouldn't...
Thanks. Yes, this is correct. If I don't disable Bitlocker, I will acquire a sector level, encrypted copy of the disk. I can restore the encrypted sectors, which I hope will be decrypted when I...
