That did it. Didn't really expect the (32-bit) one for the ODBC to hide with an empty string, but it worked.

I rarely have to post because of all of your tutorials over the years in the various...

As detailed in the original post, I already tried the technique detailed in your tutorial, including adding the missing Explorer key. Repeated it twice. No dice. :cry: Possible that the (32-bit)...

Would like to delete 2 Control Panel items most likely created when Office97 was installed on Win10 Home 2004 (which I just updated to 20H2):

(32-bit) brings up the ODBC Data Source Administrator...

Seems like overkill for the situation, but would probably work. Doubt that I'd do it though since I can hover and see the network name. Just would be nice to have a quick visual with the icon.

Have a LAN w/o web access. Taskbar tray icon is same as if no network. Changed LAN name using the How to Change a Network Profile Name in Windows 10 tutorial & saw an icon edit there, but it...

The compare software does not look at physical file size, so cluster size difference is irrelevant. I just need something that will effectively give me the combined Dirs as a drive or folder.

Don't understand this. File structure is same on all drives, so intuitively File A should show same size no matter physical drive size. Not talking about physical space actually taken on the drive...

Have 3 sets of matching data: 1 set on 12GB drives, 1 set on 6GB drives, and 1 set on 2GB drives.

Would like to do a synch check by comparing file name/date/size of contents of 2-6GB to a 12GB...

Have a couple of flashdrives for clean Win10 installs built with Media Creation Tool - one from shortly after release & one sometime after the Nov update. Is there a way to just look at contents...

Maybe I'm missing something here. I can share "temp", but that's a folder, not a library.

Additionally, in my case, I have 5 drives with 2 folders each as contents of the library. I actually...

Finally found a use for a library. Can create it locally, but there's no share context. Can not use homegroup. Is shared/public library even possible?

I was just wondering if the "not activated" status made a difference. I'm only wanting 10162 until I can upgrade for real rather than using an interum with Win8.1 that I have to tweak heavily.

...

Clean installed 10162 when it first came out, but never activated it. Played and now want to reinstall clean again as a "temp" until Win10 official. Assume it is good at least 30 days if I can get...

Meant "Virtual Desktops", not "Multiple Desktops" as you are guessed. Thanks for clarification. Knew about TaskView from "old" days, but the "Desktop" term threw me. Maybe that's why I usually...

LeCube, if "the truth" was meant for me, I'd already read it - and that's why I'm confused. :confused: Probably clear to 99% of the world, but not to me. :(

To me, the desktop is the area of the screen above the taskbar. So when I saw "multiple virtual desktops", I envisioned screens with alternate layouts of icons - like one used if I was working with...

Trying to decide on Win8 (already have license) or 10 for new, normally non-Web box. I clean installed 10162 last week and played, probably really mucking up stuff. Was planning to reinstall today...

unifix: It's not that codes didn't work. I didn't put in code when initially prompted 'cause I hoped I'd be able to put in later with cut/paste. Box has been w/o web since then. Hear going to be...

OT: Maybe, but this box is just a movie server without web access. So far, there's things I like about 10, but there's some headaches.

-The text on stuff like File Explorer is not as clear as...

Thanks, alphanumeric. I installed build 10162 as a clean install and it hasn't activated. Not concerned since I'm just doing a quick walk through and see if my BSOD probs still exist. Trying to...

Thanks. I'm seeing on other sites stuff about o/s having to be installed ON 7/29 to qualify, so attempting to check "fact/fiction/myth"....

Read update FAQ, but... Bought 4 Win8 licenses when Win8 was released. Tried 1 (as Win8.1) but keep getting BSOD when my hdd would "sleep", so bailed (without activation?) and bought Win7. I also...
