Is there any calendar for Windows that comes close to the iPad calendar UI sweetness? I'm tempted to get an iPad solely for the calendar app, but would love a Windows alternative if I can find one...
Hello guys, I want to record voice using the built-in Microphone of my laptop, the OS is Windows 7. The built-in recorder of Windows could only record into wav format, and I want to record in mp3 or other compact format for a long time -- around 10 hours. Record only voice is fine.
Any recommendations? Better free software and easy to use.
Thanks in advance!
I'm using Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7. When I open a video file then it by default only shows the current position (time). If I click on it once then it changes to format Current Time / Total Time
Is there any way to make this format permanent (registry hack/some setting I have not noticed)? Right now every time I close WMP and open another file it's back to the default (only current time) setting.
In Windows 95/XP/Vista I could click on the start menu, "All Programs", and I would get a list of all my programs.
In Windows 7 when I click start menu, "All Programs", I get a single column with a scroll bar - but that's not what I want, I want to see All Programs.
How do I do this? I've looked in the start menu options but cannot find an option that appears to show me all my programs.

I have Windows Vista installed on my machine and I am facing this really annoying problem. Whenever I open a folder having images, image thumbnails appear for an instant and they are replaced by standard file icon. Argh...
Points to note:
Setting "Always show icon, never thumbnail" is unchecked
Running Windows Aero theme (with transparency support)
Have 4GB of RAM on my machine so memory is not a problem
Please can you suggest a solution?
Can you suggest a good battery meter utility for Windows? Battery status being graphically displayed in the taskbar is the (obvious) minimum requirement. Anything else the utility can inform or do is a plus.
(If the battery meter taskbar icon is turned off by an admin it does not appear for non-admin users. That could be another reason to look for a battery meter utility apart from the one which comes with Windows.)
Under XP I could use a Remote Wonder II from ATI to control my music (play, pause, next, previous, etc). This product does not work under Windows 7 64-bit because of driver issues and it seems to be an orphan product.
My question is: Does a similar product exist that works under Windows 7 64-bit???
I've got a team of web programmers that need to edit HTML and CSS that is stored on a linux server. They're all using Windows on their desktops. Rather than either teaching them to use vi/vim in a shell window or editing locally and copying using an SFTP client, I think it'd be easier to install a text editor which can transparently do the network negotiation.
To reiterate, here are the requirements:
Runs on Windows
Can open file over sftp/ssh
syntax highlighting for css/html
I am getting this error when I try to install Sun ONE UDS 5213 on Windows 7:

Please help.
In Windows XP, there are two settings in Group Policy I'm looking at:
Password must meet complexity requirements
Store password using reversible encryption
Both of these settings are under Local Computer Policy/Computer Config/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Account Policies/Password Policy.
For the first one, I have found the setting in RSOP_SecurityEventLogSettingBoolean class in WMI. However, I can't find the latter. Does anybody know in which class in WMI can I read that particular setting?
I've been using (and enjoy using) Windows 7 through bootcamp on my mac for some time now.
The only problem I've been having is with the audio, I seem to get a low hissing noise which is more prevalent when wearing headphones. Whilst it's not stopping me from using Windows 7 it's something I'd like fixed.
I've tried downloading the latest drivers from Realteks website, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
While I know that CHMOD is impossible in Windows, I do have a problem with permissions.
I'm running XAMPP on Windows 8 Release Preview and I'm trying to install ModenaCam. However, I get an error message which tells me that two files are not writable (they are 666) and they need to be 777.
The permissions for the files are correct (full control for everyone, owner is everyone), but I can't get this thing to work!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've a Windows 7 installation with 2 users, one administrator and the other is not. If I try to logon with the standard user it show the Welcome Screen and them logoff immediately. If I logon with the administrator user or if I set the standard used as an administrator it works without problems.
Any idea?

I have a domain controller running on Windows 2008 Server R2 and users login to application servers on which Windows 2003 Server SP2 is installed. I have applied a Group Policy to clean temporary internet files on exit i.e to delete all temporary internet files when users close the browser. But the group policy doesn't seem to work as user profile size keeps on increasing and the major space is occupied by temporary internet files therefore increasing the disk usage. How can i enforce automatic deletion of temporary internet files?
On Windows 7's new file layout in Explorer. Some PNGs will show the size whereas others won't. I've tried rebooting and clearing the cache, but it doesn't work. Also, all of these images were saved with Paint.NET, so I am sure that the size isn't embeded in the file, and if it is, it appears that Windows doesn't go by it. The ones without sizes are 300x300. Is there a maximum size before it won't show the size anymore?
Windows Vista's built-in tool does not give any status of current state of defragmentation. And TuneUp is very heavy. Is there any other good defragmentation tool for Windows Vista?
Edit: I want a free tool (may be open source.)
I'm trying to mess around with starting up modern UI applications from the desktop and various other wierdness. While I've been digging, I can't seem to work out where exactly the shortcuts to windows modern UI apps are stored.
With my classic desktop applications they are in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. The modern UI stuff dosen't turn up though. Where are the shortcuts to the modern UI apps stored so that the start screen can find them?
Hi
I have a single monitor, but with a wide resolution. Some times it would be helpful to have two applications running next to each other. Is there a tool to quickly tell windows to resize the two applications to fit the desktop? Perhaps even with an option to make the one application use 75% and the other 25%
I know the Windows 7 Alt+left/right arrow feature, which is nice, but still needs too many clicks.
I am working with a Windows XP laptop that whenever it is shutdown will display a warning that the "MediaContextNotificationWindow" is attempting to close, eventually requiring you to force it to close. It does not appear to matter if the laptop is on or off the network, it will still display the message. I have done a little research into the MediaContextNotificationWindow, and it seems like it is either a part of the Windows Media Player or .Net 3.5, though I'm not entirely sure.
Has anyone come across this error and know how to resolve it?
I have a number of Scheduled Tasks running on a Windows machine, which is design to run stand alone and show useful information to the office.
Part of it's use is to run a screensaver that itself shows useful information.
There are some scheduled tasks which need to display information to the screen, however as the screensaver is running these messages can't be seen until the screensaver it manually deactivated.
How can the currently running screensaver in Windows be deactivated from command script?

An open-ended question (ie I havn't encountered this yet...)
Being in the UK I consider it only a matter of time until I come across the following scenario:
Windows 8 Pro N install where the End User wants DVD playback without installing all the Media Player 'add-ins' to enable it.
Will just installing codecs and then some playback software work? (ie no huge downloads from Windows Update - consider this user to only want Crtical Updates due to a slow internet connection.)
I had Windows 7 and Vista installed on my laptop. When I installed Ubuntu 9.04 the GRUB entry for Windows 7 was erased and I can only see choices for Vista and Ubuntu in the boot menu. How do I overcome this problem?
