I recently found that in x32Win10ProV21H2's Control Panel, there were 38 entries for my modem : Archer_VR1600v, in the Multimedia Devices section. I managed to reduce them to 1, but within a week...

I already use AutoHotkey extensively, and in fact, the purpose of my question is to release some more keys for use by Autohotkey. Specifically, AutoHotkey has been unable to over-ride the following...

https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-t...8b89d08b3106d9992818cda4eda901#comment-294596 claims that specific shortcuts can be disabled, but does not show how to distinguish between those using the left...

I have found that in Chrome and not (yet) in another browser, but I can test that. I have already combed through the saved logins in Chrome and not found it. I disable sync when I can - but that may...

When I use Chrome to log into Facebook and WorldRemit (and at least one more website which I can not remember now), two email addresses are prompted - one is my correct one, the other is an absurdly...

Why is it that both the Search in the Task Bar (Cortana ?) and in top right of the Drive page, fail to find results for 'quarantine', when I can manually find AT LEAST four folders with that name...

Speed is not a requirement as the files are few and small.

'How did you do this latter requirement?'

Thank you to all those who've made well meant suggestions.

I'll just repeat that there was a quote on the web whose URL I gave in my first post, claiming success with PC_Linq in Win10.
Success...

The easiest method is to use a 'USB stick'; but I agree that Team Viewer would come a close second best.

"I cannot think for the life of me why you prefer usb" - try this one : I already have the PC-Linq; I used to use it between 98E and XP - very user-friendly, whereas, I have been trying for days to...

Previously I could look from 64bits into 32bits - although I could not access anything there, at least I saw it. Now that is not even the case. I can see that a wizard can be any help in this...

Clam 1952 - There is only one account and it has Admin privilege; I am looking into restoring the Sharing tab in properties of HDDs. Thank you for the USB reference - will investigate.

Cereberus -...

Thank you.
I'll follow it up.

Since that does not work for me, I'd love to find a compatible 'driver' for the USB cross-over cable.

Since using ethernet is turning out to be the marenest I referred to in my first post, can you direct me to this Win10 software that allows linking of PCs.

NO - that sharing tab is so obvious I could not miss it - it shows on neither on my PCs

On right-clicking the C drive in each computer, I can find no option to share; not even in properties.
Since we are talking about Context Menu, it is possible that I may have disabled that when I...

"you need to be on that machine and use the file explorer / my computer." They are a meter apart - of course I am 'ON THAT MACHINE AND USING FILE EXPLORER'.

I have done the same procedure on both...

"find a folder you wish to share, or the whole C: drive." That folder does NOT show amongst the item listed under 'Network locations' As stated before, the only remotely useful option is USERS; and...

That certainly got rid of the Network Credential problem- hurrah !

But Bill Gates is never one to give up easily making it difficult for his customers.

I discover that the only useful...

"this in particular is for remote desktop connections." does that apply to PC which is 1 meter away from my 'master' PC ?
I use no passwords where I can avoid them; so on my 'master' PC passwords...

I did enable file sharing and found 'the other PC' listed under Network; however, Security intervened and required me to enter Network Credentials - how could I expect anything less ? But I can find...

Why not ? because I'd be delving into the unknown. Cables make sense to me.

So an ethernet cable from each PC to the modem (router ?) is all the all hardware that is needed for file transfer ?

tomdsr - "If doing a file transfer on your network disables your internet" I have not tried it, but read comments to that effect on-line.
