To reiterate: I'm NOT talking about thumbnails.

Thanks very much for the detailed suggestions, but I'm looking for a way to accomplish this without using a third-party...

How do I disable the descriptive pop-ups --- *not* talking about thumbnails, which I've already dealt with via the Registry --- that appear after a second or two when my pointer is hovering (just...

I have a Word table in a doc that I created a couple of years ago where I have been manually applying two "text highlight" colors (green and yellow), depending on the number that I've entered in the...

Yes, thanks.

OK, so I just took ownership, and then deleted the pesky folder. Again, my concern was that the special permissions and special Owner (TrustedInstaller) might...

Right, but I'm looking for opinions on the question that I posed in my original post, which was: Is it a bad idea to delete the original "Windows PowerShell" shortcuts folder, which has those special...

I don't know why you've said this, as there's no other user account involved here, unless you're talking about the Owner in "Advanced Security Settings"/Permissions.

I'm...

As I've indicated above, I've already made the copies of the shortcuts, and they work fine. That's not the issue.

Thanks, but I'm already familiar with these processes. ...

Yes, I could do that, thanks, but I've already created---by copying the original folder, which gave me a folder that I can completely control---a folder with the Windows PowerShell shortcuts that...

Whenever I do a clean install of Windows, I create a folder with many subfolders on my second/storage drive (internal) for all of the data that I create as well as the Windows shortcuts that are...

I've now clarified (see "UPDATE" in my original post above) that I'm speaking about the folder with the Windows shortcuts.

I recently purchased a Dell XPS 8940 desktop and installed Windows version 20H2 on it. After copying the "Windows PowerShell" folder---because Windows wouldn't let me move the original---so that I...

Thanks for your suggestion, but that gpedit change was made earlier tonight as a possible solution to my problem, which existed _before_ I made that gpedit change. So, changing it back would not fix...

Thank you! I'll be working on this solution later tonight.

So, I disabled the indicated setting, "Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in)", in gpedit.msc, and...

I've just set up a new Dell XPS 8940 desktop, running Windows version 20H2, and am experiencing for the first time the problem with netplwiz _not_ showing the “Users Must Enter a User Name and...

Thanks for the clarification re the battery power issue.

Thank you for the additional advice (more on that momentarily) and kind words.

Now, regarding this: "failed update on battery only. - often a prime cause." Ummmm.....[sheepishly raises hand]. ...

Got it, thanks. And I completely understand how easy it is when quickly typing a bunch of technical steps along with comments/elaboration to end up with some things slightly out of sequence or less...

UPDATE
I cannot boot the XPS from the USB Rescue Media, because my two available, functioning USB ports will not support that. Specifically, one of the two functioning ports is a Type-C port that I...

Will do, and thanks again for all your efforts. (May I recommend Dragon NatSpeak? )

BTW, the Macrium USB Rescue Media was made two years ago, but on my current XPS system, Win 10 64-bit. But...

I already have Macrium Reflect Rescue Media installed on a USB thumb drive. It's a couple of years old, but I suppose it's still OK. I should probably add: I do not have a current Reflect backup...

Will do.


Ah, sorry about that. Yes, they were just examples, copied from here, as possible solutions to the error message that I was getting (though they didn't solve the problem). I should...

Yes.


Yes.

Yes, I assigned the letter "Z" to the ESP FAT32 volume.

I completed all of the steps leading up to the command "cd /d <drive letter>:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot", but when I tried to run that command, I received the following error message: "The system cannot...

Will do, though later this evening (US EST).

Thanks again!

Thanks, I've got all my essential data backed up. So, full steam ahead!
