How do I download a gtk+ theme and install it on a computer running Windows?
I know that I can select a few of the themes from the theme selector, but not sure how I install one.
Hi,
I'm using Linux for years and now I have to work with Windows XP at work. The problem is I don't like default shortcuts for switching keyboard input languages: [CTRL]+[SHIFT] and [ALT]+[SHIFT]. And I'd really like to change the shortcut to the one I'm using in Linux [SHIFT]+[SHIFT].
I've googled for a while, played with registry but have not found any solution.
So, can I assign custom ([SHIFT]+[SHIFT]) shortcut for switching keyboard input languages?
Thanks in advance,
Andriy
Is it possible to have
Alt-Esc window switching behavior (instant switch, no need to release key), with
Alt-Tab style preview (thumbnails in a translucent pane)
at the same time in Windows Vista?
I am successfully connected to my workplace via vpn. But when I try to connect to my pc via remote desktop it keep asking for credentials even I am providing the right one. This works fine in windows xp but unable to connect using win 7. Also after establishing a vpn I lost my internet access.
Any idea.
As per the title.
My VMWare player installation has setup the two network adaptor VMnet1 and VMnet8 and they are picked up as unidentified networks with no network access (i need this to activate my windows server installation on it). The option to change the network location is not available (this might be because of network policy on the domain despite having set this as configurable in the local security policy section). Is there anyway i can change how these networks are detected or alter the configuration of vmware to get around this?
I'm using an autorun.bat to append some directory paths to the Windows PATH variable so that I can use a few tools and bat scripts within cmd.exe
I'm running into a problem where the above isn't working on a network drive.
Ex.
Using a program called mycmd.exe
Ex.1 (this works)
C:\folder\mycmd.exe
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\folder
Ex. 2 (doesn't work)
H:\folder\mycmd.exe
SET PATH=%PATH%;H:\folder
I am having problem with a user account on a Windows 7 machine (local install, admin user account)
APPDATA and LOCALAPPDATA environment are not set. Another user on the same machine, (also a local account, but without admin rights) has the variables set. This started to happen recently, however, I can not figure out if there was something installed on the machine to cause this. This is creating issues with applications that are trying to expand the variables to store local files.
Thank you for the help.
I can not find a valid kerbtray.exe for windows server 2008. I can only find for 2000 and 2003. Does it not exist or it is just replaced with something else?
I have a number of scheduled tasks which simply open a web page in Windows Server 2008 R2. They used to run and end without abending, but now they open and stay open and I have to setup the task to quit them by force before their next scheduled run. I've thought about installing CURL or WGET, but is there a way to do this with R2 without going to that step?
Regards.
I have a keyboard with some types of extra keys, such as multimedia (play, pause, stop ,..), turn off, and etc.
some times it's annoying with a "exit button" just right beside arrows that accidentally presses, and programs gonna close, and some other similar problems.
I'm wondering is there any solution to disable, or change the functionality of these types of keyboard keys in Windows (win7)?
Cheers
I plan to install Windows Vista on my second hard drive partition, with Ubuntu Hardy remaining on the first partition. How likely is it that any security holes that may exist in Vista could allow malicious code to find its way to the Ubuntu partition or otherwise damage the system?
I got WMP 12 (on Windows 7 RC1) to play FLAC files by installing the Ogg Vorbis/FLAC, Direct Show filters, but WMP does not display the embedded cover artwork.
After experimenting I found that it will display the cover art if it is embedded in PNG format, but up to now I've used JPEG for all my FLAC files.
Rather than re-tagging all my files, does anyone know a way to get WMP 12 to display JPEG embedded cover art?
When using the task manager in Windows XP Pro, the amount of RAM that is listed as being used by the individual processes is not adding up to the total memory used (as listed by the total commit on the performance page).
The total sum of all the RAM being used the the processes:
195604 K
The amount in use as listed by performance page and the status bar:
280028 K
1) Why is this?
2) How do I reduce the amount of memory used?
Can anyone recommend a good eSATA PCIe card for Windows Server 2008 (x64)? I bought a J-Micron JMB363 and it's recognized by the OS and I can install one of their reference drivers, but it's not picking up the drive I have attached to it.
Basically, I want to be able to transfer exported Hyper-V machines quickly to an external drive, and it seems that using one of these eSATA cards is the way to go.
Does anyone know how to remove/uninstall Oracle Developer Suite 10g from Windows XP (SP3) ? It's not appearing in the "Add or Remove Programs" list and it doesn't have a built-in uninstaller. I've googled around for how to do this, and basically, everyone says to run the Oracle Universal Installer shipped with every Oracle product. I've tried to run it from the Oracle Developer Suite 10g installation kit, but it crashes. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi All
I recently bought a new computer and Windows 7 Home Premium. I only have one small problem though. I have the option "Show Window Contents While Dragging" enabled, but everytime I restart the computer, it reverts back to DISabled.
The only thing i could think of is the system requirements etc. But this is not the case as my computer more than meets the full requirements.
Can somebody help me please?
Thank you
If I run an executable file downloaded from the Internet, Windows displays a warning that this file can potentially harm my computer. This happens even for files downloaded by Firefox (not just IE.) On networked drive, this seems to slow down program launch time a lot.
From Wikipedia, I learned that the feature is called "Attachment Execution Service". How can I completely disable it? If this cannot be done, how can I instruct Firefox not to set the "downloaded" flag on the file?
For some time now when I click Open with...|Choose Default Program from Windows Explorer's context menu I'm getting this error
This file does not have a program
associated with it to perform this
action. Create an association in the
Set Associations control panel.
I'm getting this error no matter what the extension of the selected file is.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I've done an install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop when I meant to install Pro - i.e. I've already used the Ultimate license on another box and want the laptop to run Pro for which I've got keys spare.
Is there a way to change the SKU of the installed version to downgrade it so that I can use my Pro key. I've got a fair bit of stuff on it and would like to avoid re-installing the OS if I can.
Why did my old windows 7 install boot faster/run smoother & cooler than each the three linux distros I have recently tried (ubuntu 12.04 unity, linux mint 13 MATE, and fedora 17 on gnome 3.4)?. I have tweaked my linux installs for the ssd (enabling trim, disabling swap, etc.)
I'm using an Acer TravelMate with i5-2410m processor, intel hd 3000 graphics, 8 gigs of ram, and a 256 gb samsung 830 ssd.
Thanks!
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop and it has no virtualization support, i want to install Windows Server 2008 on it using Virtual Box, i know that we can install Mac OS on not Virtualization supported system using some patch.
I also haired that Virtual box don't needs hardware virtualization, it will do that using software virtualization. how can i achieve that, any guidance would be very nice.
Thanks
With all of the new keyboard shortcuts added to Windows 7 I was wondering if a shortcut had been added to change the Desktop Background when the theme was setup to work as a slide show. I want to execute the Next desktop background command which a user is prompted for when right clicking a desktop that has been setup for a slide show.
