Thanks Roland. So your using 7-Zip on Win 10 ok?

Thanks Roland. So your using 7-Zip on Win 10 ok?
I really only want to compress the music folder on the Sandisk because it is close to running out of space (and I have another backup on the...
This actually raises another question that has been on my mind. Using the auto backup function from Win 10 - it always wants the backup disk/drive plugged in. But surely the whole point of doing...
Got an unexpected result when I tried to compress the backup of my Music folder on firstly a Sandisk 256Gb Flash Stick, and then a Samsung 256Gb T1 external SSD (the data is backed up twice).
In...
Nobody?
I'm using MBAM and Win Defender.
What AV do people recommend? McAfee was installed on the machine when it was delivered but I would never give them any money (I detest their fear mongering...
Yes, I wasn't hopeful, but thanks very much for having a go Cliff.
BTW, there were a number of very amusing icons available for Godmode, but I ended up going with:
The icons on the top right are for the three external drives Samsung (D), LG BD RW (E), Sandisk (F). If I copy the xml & png files for them and try to cntl V into "This PC" absolutely nothing happens...
Well there seems to be just one last hurdle to jump - but it may be a little high.
I am not allowed to save anything into "This PC" as I expected, so does that mean that I have to put up with...
Ok, thought I'd try it with something less critical like Photoshop annd yes, it works by creating a shortcut on the desktop and cut & paste into Start Menu/Programs (i.e. same technique as for...
Ok, that's all going well, but a couple of pgms are being stubborn. I have the png and xml files for Firefox and Photoshop in the right places but there is something different about their names....
Yes, thanks Hopachi. They are all small anyway. The visual cue is all I need.
In that case I have to wonder if it's the difference between W10 and W10 Pro. If i change a window size on the monitor every window I open after that takes on the same dimensions and position - very...
Akshally, why couldn't you just go into ......Start Menu/Programs and delete the shortcut if it became problematic?
Errrr, yeah, I already worked that out two days ago.......:D
Do you know if there's a solution to this:
I mean, it's the dumbest thing about Win 10 (apart from the desktop icons jumping around -...
Champion! That was a missing link for me, and all is good! Tomorrow I'll fool with trying to get a custom button in there for that as well.
Thanks again Cliff - excellent assistance!
Cliff, do you know if there is a way to pin files to Start? Right click doesn't bring up that option, but given that they are just shortcuts being handed to Start you'd think there was a way of...
Hmmmmm. This is particularly bizarre. I had one folder working nicely. Then I unpinned it to show my partner how this is done, and NO MATTER WHAT it will not allow itself to be re-pinned (this is a...
HEY! WAIT! It works for folders. I had to add .xml after .VisualElementsManifest. Just have to add the png and xml into the folder that the target folder is in (which in this particular case was...
Thanks for that Cliff. So does that mean that the icons I have for folders have to remain is the ¼" squares when they are "small", because they are not executables (just ordinary old folders)?
Nobody?
There are various sizes available for buttons on the Start panel. I've created a bunch of icons for some of my folders. When I resize them to small on the Start panel they are only about ¼" square,...
Thanks Roger, I'll try that because I've just discovered this minute that the fix that was suggested to me doesn't work......
All I did was leave the puta unattended for about 10 mins and came...
I've only just come to Win 10 directly from XP, and am nowhere near the level of understanding of the members here. However, the icons jumping around finally got the better of me today so I posted on...
Thanks for your reply David. I did look at that tute before, but I don't want to apply the same settings to all folders (some have list, large/medium icons etc.
It doesn't matter if I access...
