Hi Denis! I decided to go with that File Format Converter that you found for me and it seems to work just fine! Thanks a million!
As for my failure to keep a disk image; guilty as charged. A...
Thanks for all those replies, folks! It feels like Old Home Week here at TenForums. You've given me lots of useful ideas.
Windows 10 22H2
A few years ago I bought a refurbished PC with Word 2010 already installed. So I copied all my Word 2003 .doc files from my old older computer onto the newer PC running Office...
Good questions!
It seems to me that this is a recent problem. I've been listening to music on my computers for years, but can't recall exactly when I started noticing these audio dropouts.

Windows version 22H2
When I'm listening to music playing from my computer and the screen timeout turns off the screen illumination on my laptop, the audio drops out completely for a fraction of a...
Yesterday it occurred to me that a system reboot might clear up the problem. But I didn't want to shut down my system in the middle of the day, so decided to wait until the following day. So this...
This morning this problem recurred; the "Rating" field for an MP3 file is unresponsive and won't permit modifcation. But oddly, other fields such as "Album" and "Comment" on the same file do permit...
Thanks for the quick replies!
I don't know how or why, but the problem has cleared up.
I was about to do a closer examination of the propery sheet for the MP3 in question, and just for the heck...
Windows 10 22H2
I use Windows 10 File Explorer to set the star ratings on my mp3 files like this:
Right click file name
Left click "Properties"
Left click "Details" tab
Left click on...
I've opted to just change the filepaths in all of my m3u playlist files. I've just learned that an old text editor I've been using for years (NoteTab Pro) has an option to perform a search and...
Windows 10 22H2
My antique refurbished laptop is dying, so I've been copying my programs and data piecemeal over onto my old refurbished PC for safekeeping until I can shop for a replacement for...
Windows 10 22H2
I'm an old guy and clueless when it comes to computer technology, so I rely on advice from you folks here in these forums.
Some time ago the free version of Macrium Reflect was...
I think a file comparison app would be helpful. Especially if it can compare files in all subfolders at the same time. Can you recommend one?
Thanks, Denis! Earlier this morning I tried doing just that, i.e., holding down the Ctrl key and then clicking on the the subfolders one-by-one. But File Explorer would only select a single...
Okay, guys, I think I understand the concept: I need to copy the contents of the Documents folder on the source computer, not the folder itself. And I'm assuming this applies to my Music and...
I've got Windows 10 22H2 running on two old refurbished computers; a laptop and a PC. The computers are connected by a Windows Home Network
I've used the laptop almost exclusively the last few...
Hi Denis! Good to see you again!
Thanks for confirming my guess that I need to first create a macro and then assign it to Ctrl-N.
I'll give that a try and report back here on the result.

Aha! I think I figured out why why my installation behaves differently. I noticed on the Start button an icon of a blue seashell. And that reminded me that years ago I had installed a program that...
Thanks, Steve, for that speedy reply.
I just solved the mystery: I was expecting to see some kind of change in the appearance of the button when I clicked on it, and also to see an image of the...
Windows 10 22H2
I've forgotten how to rearrange the buttons on my taskbar. My laptop is dying so I've switched to my PC, which has the taskbar buttons in a different order than I'm used to seeing...
Any old-timers here?
My laptop is dying so I've had to revert to using my old PC which has Word 2003 installed on it.
I'm an old guy who still relies on some ancient WordStar keyboard commands,...
Hi NTN!
I just checked and I'm still on 4.4.142. So I guess I'm not getting update alerts or automatic updates.
I wonder how to sign up for those options.
Count yourself lucky.
It was even worse on my PC. Not only did the Windows 10 update reinsert the Search box into my task bar,but it also added a huge pop up that covers half my desktop with...
Aha! The trick turns out to be clicking on "Hidden" instead of the check mark next to "Show search box."
Thanks for the tip about searching the Tutorial section. I had forgotten about that. ...
