In Os X, I can hold Shift while using the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. Is there a way to do something similar in Windows?
From the first look, it seems that the onscreen keyboard in Windows 8 cannot be moved from its default position at the bottom of the screen:
However, sometimes it obstructs the input field and should be repositioned (see iOS 5's screenshots for examples)
So the question is, can it actually move? If it can, how can I do that? If it cannot, is it possible to use the keyboard to fill an input field that is underneath it?

Batch-convert files for encoding or line ending under Windows
Hey!
I have many files that are encoded in the ANSI (iso-8859-1) format and I want to change it to utf8.
I am converting one by one using notepad++ but I was wondering if there is any application that will convert them all (I have many files) in a quick and easy way.
Anyone know of one app that will do this?? (free app would be great)
Thanks
I'm trying to establish a VPN connection between our Windows 2008 R2 server and a client's SonicWall device.
The problem is, I'm not entirely sure where to start. I thought I could just add it to RRAS but this doesn't appear to work (times out), I'm not entirely sure I did that right anyway.
My server is hosted on an EC2 instance if that matters.
My question then is how should I go about establishing this type of connection?
Took me a bit to realize that since upgrading to 8.1 my touchpad smart gestures (two finger scroll, top down swipe, left in swipe, ect) don't work. I have read up a little online but can't seem to find an answer or fix that 1) sounds trustworthy and 2) is put into language and steps that I understand.
I already have a hard time navigating windows 8 in general, so any help is awesome, but please dumb it down for me if you can.
Thanks -K-

I'm about to buy an iTouch, mainly because of the iCal. I'm a Windows user, so does anyone know if these two play well together? I'd prefer to be able to update my calendar from either the computer or iTouch and sync.
I've searched Google, but I'm sceptic so far. Any experiences, knowledge you can send my way would be appreciated (and possibly save me money).
Thanks

Hello, I'm trying to install Windows XP on an older computer. (note, it meets the system requirements) My problem is that it keeps rebooting during the "Registering Components" stage. What can cause this? What are some good things to look at to figure out whats happening?
Does anyone know if there is a way of recording things (live sport) on Sky Player using Windows Media Center. It has a built in extension for Sky Player but no record functionality.
Has anyone else tried this with any luck?
i need check if a network drive is mapped and accessible. From time to time windows displays a red X on the drive, and i would need to manually click the drive in explorer to reconnect.
I already found solutions which involve editing the registry which unfortunately isn´t possible.
So i would need a batch file checking for connection, and (re-)mounting the drive. What i´m using at the moment:
IF NOT EXIST z: net use z: \\10.211.55.5\test
I'm trying to understand how and if it is possible to list the installed applications of Windows clients via Microsoft SMS (System Management Server). What I can find it's only VB script snippet code to get the installed applications onto the client machine, but I don't know how SMS could aggregate these data.
Could anyone give me an indication or link?
About to rebuild my XP install and figured I'd see if there was a file or interface for collecting the configs for the built in Windows XP wireless manager.
I've looked under the "advance settings" tab and within the properties GUI for each connection and I'm not seeing a way to export the configs.
Clearly if I'm exporting these I'd like to be able to import or override the default config with the backup.
When I move a directory containing 900 MB in 4k files to another directory in the same filesystem, it takes nearly 1 minute and I hear the disk working. It's NTFS on Windows XP, the disk is quite fast (ST3100015 28AS) and works fine according to CrystalMark. I switched the antivirus off, and there's nothing else running (there's a lot of processes, but none doing any work).
WTF is it doing instead of changing two directory entries?
When I plug a USB thumb drive into my Win7 PC, it no longer auto-launches the window giving me options like "Import Photos" or "browse". The drive is recognized but nothing autolaunches.
Similarly, CD's don't autoplay either.
I verified that Win7 is set to autoplay, per method 1 and 2 of:

FYI, there is a similar question (but for Windows XP) here on SU.
Hi, does anyone know that what is the shortcut of playing next track for iTunes on Windows 7?
I am using iTunes but I want to do this when iTunes is not on the screen, I want to change track when iTunes is minimized. I have keys on my keyboard (Logitech Mx3200) for this job but I want to change them and it needs key combinations for this.
The icons of my folders in Windows 8 have changed automatically !
Now it is similar to that of the Unknown File Type icon.
My C: drive icon and some icons in the Explorer-Home menu had also changed, but they became normal after a restart. But the folder icons (Medium Size) don't change. This is also seen in the "Save Dialog"-box. Please help, Thanks in advance...

Does an application exist that will cause the computer to switch (bring in to focus) between two different applications, on a timer? This is for Windows 7.
I need this for a screen that will display publicly to customers. I want the screen to switch between two different applications every, say, 30 seconds. I figure there are enough businesses out there will customer-facing monitors these days that something simple like this must exist!
I want to setup another Hyper-V VM for installing Matlabs/doing some compute-intensive programming using C.
I keep thinking that Windows Server HPC 2008 is designed for this sort of work. Would I be on the right track to setup a single VM with this OS and install this software? Or is HPC more for grid/distributed computing?
Thanks
I am trying to change the task bar color of my WIndows 7 to black.. something similar to Vista. Is it possible without installing any 3rd party app? Many thanks!!
I've always wanted some cool way to log into Windows like inserting a designated USB or voice recognition. Only recently did I discover http://www.luxand.com/blink/ which uses facial recognition to log into your PC.
What other software lets you change the way you log in?
