Thanks all for the help.

Problem fixed. I fear it was all my fault. The remote computer was addressing a printer that didn't exist.

I was not alert enough to perceive the difference in the...

Thanks for that. I've now got jobs in the queue. But no print. I did a 'properties' on the queued jobs and an error about a function address protection fault.

Thanks for that. It suggested making it the default printer so I let it do that and tried again. No success.
Still doesn't appear in the print queue.

I tried a 'microsoft print to pdf' and...

Later: hmmm.... all looks good but nothing prints. Find the printer on other machine. Send a...

Shelf space, space generally. And other devices plugged directly into the wireless router.
My Internet service is provided by Telstra Australia. I'm not sure what's meant by 'what type'. It's...

Ah, good one. So if I cabled to the router it should work. Good to know.

But if I can find another solution it'd be good. For the router is rooms away from where I and the printer are.

I...

I have an HP 3015 cable connected to a computer on our home network.

I'd like to access that printer from other computers on the network and what I read seems to suggest that should be possible...

thanks for that. I found the one drive setup for the first time ever. good. but those backup things were not selected. I do see where it says selecting them will cause to happen what is in fact...

Trying to get files out of a Onedrive dir where they shouldn't be I noticed my Screenshots dir.
Which surprised me. Screenshots are on OneDrive?
So I got a dir listing and I see the Screenshots...

Thank you. I'll do that. :)

Photo is saving to /pictures on Onedrive.
And Onedrive keeps telling me it is full.
And I have tried to disable Onedrive.

I pick up a jpg from a directory on my C: drive quite distinct from...

Exactly so. I just tested it and it works beautifully. Now I've got two ways of doing it.
No problems at all.
Thanks a lot. :)

Well thank you. All my mistake, eh? Created the shortcut from the right pane so that's what I got. The right pane.
And windows doesn't come with a feature for shifting right to left.
fair enough....

You know you can set up a desktop link to a folder on your hard drive?

Then when you click on it you'll be there in windows explorer. In the right pane will be the folder you want and the...

Thanks for that Mr China. I remember you. You've come to my help before. I thank you. Sterling work you're doing. Probably looks all cut and dried and antiseptic over there where you are, at your...

One drive, the cloud and windows explorer have been a thorn in my side for a long time.
Here's the problem: I don't know where my files are: with me on my computer or up in some cloud somewhere.
...

Thanks all for that.
I can't approach each machine for the boys may bring in other machines - notebooks, say - and I want to anticipate that.
Maybe I should find a setting that blocks everything...

I have win10 latest release and a Telstra router. I want to use 'parental control' and limit the access hours of some computers on our home LAN. But the software requires I supply the MAC address...

Thanks all for the input. I'll sort, as you say, I'll remember (put in my little paper notebook) the cmd line thing and I used the option to freeze and I got rid of the thing. Sorry for not being...

Sometimes I have something that I can't shut down so I go to Task Manager to find the process and kill it.
But Task Manager keeps updating and the rows jump up and down so frequently I can't find...

thanks for that. I'll do it. :)

I have a couple of files in File Explorer with a red circle, white cross under 'status' and that turns out to mean not enough room for them on One Drive.

I used to dislike One Drive so it's not...

Totally excellent. Thank you.

I am trying to set up 'parental control' on an australian telstra router and it wants me to provide a mac address for every device I set up a block for.
One of those devices is a smartphone and it...

Yes, thanks guys. I got it fixed. Seems I didn't report it back here. I thought I had. Yes, I found you have to click in the blank space above the boxes in the navigation pane - as though there...
