is it possible to lock the desktop in Windows 7 and have it continue to display your desktop wallpaper rather than the default Win7 locked-workstation screen?
Can someone point me to clear directions for a Dual-Boot system using Windows 7 on #1 SSD and Linux Ubuntu on SSD #2? And then configuring 2 HDD's in RAID 1 for Data (NTFS)? Clean Install all around. Or what other set-up would be preferable to achieve a similar goal?
Many tools raise a common Windows XP file chooser dialog. This dialog offers various views: Thumbnails, Tiles, Icons, List, Details.
By default, I always get the List view, however, I almost always want the Details view.
Is there a way to make Details the default view for this dialog across all my applications?
This computer came to my shop for just a simple Windows tuneup, so after doing all my tweaks, I noticed I was getting an error when trying to synchronize with the time server.
It wasn't until I was about to give up that I noticed in the calendar that it's one weekday late.
Here's a screenshot.
As you can see, the day today, Friday - January 7th is a Thursday in the calendar. How is this possible?
I need any tool to automate my daily work in windows with dialogs.
I've google it and found few tools, but i don't know anything about they.
Please advice me
Can anybody recommend a USB wireless network adapter, that has Windows 7 drivers for both 32 and 64 bit? It also needs to reconnect to the network when the computer is brought out of sleep.
I have three of these from earlier (from Allnet, trendnet and linksys), and just one of them has working drivers for Win7 64bit - but fail to return from sleep in a working state.
On my Windows XP PC several user accounts have been created (five to be exact), of these one has all the built-in programs disabled. When I click to open any of these programs it searches to find the program. This is bizarre because all the other users can open these programs just fine.
Thinking that the user account is corrupted I created a new user and this new account has the same problem. Any ideas as to what is causing this?
If I want to log onto our WIFI network, Windows keeps asking for credentials. After many connection attempts (and sometimes some reboots) we finally manage to connect. Then the connection usually stays intact for the rest of the day. But it sometimes takes 15-20 minutes before we're online... Needless to say we're using a single username/password for all failing/succeeding attempts.
Does anybody recognize these symptoms? How to troubleshoot this?
When the Windows Firewall Service is disabled I cannot remote desktop (RDP) to the machine.
Has anyone seen this? This is on Win7 64 Enterprise on a domain. Is it some sort of domain policy perhaps?

Is there some documentation on the various Windows 7 registry settings?
Preferably from Microsoft or in some kind of Wiki?
E.g. what settings exist for the Taskbar, Start Menu, Explorer, etc.
I've found some 'tweak' sites but they usually only offer information for a few features and even that is mostly hidden in reg files and poorly documented.
Hi,
I'm looking for a command line tool for windows that will go over a directory tree (recursively) and output a list of all the files in there, and a checksum for each file (can be CRC, MD5, whatever).
Esentially, what I want is to compare 2 big directory trees in 2 machines. I'm planning to take the outputs of running this tool in both, and diffing them to make sure they're identical.
I appreciate any ideas.
What's a good (preferably free) on-screen ruler for Windows? (Vista, if it matters.) I just need to measure a few things (in pixels) on the screen. I need it to be flexible (easily resizable and able to measure both vertically and horizontally), and hopefully not look like crap, although I can deal with that if it does what I need. A quick Google search revealed a ton of different applications, and I don't want to try every single one.
I'm doing a fresh install of Windows 7 and I have an on board software RAID. I "need" to install the drivers via the infamous F6 process. Technically, it should be possible to do so after the OS has been booted, but long story short, this isn't going to work well for me.
Is it possible to install F6 drivers during the installation using a USB, or must that always be done using floppies? What are my alternatives?

I have a Java application in a .jar-file. I can start it by typing java -jar myapp.jar and the application starts, but if I double-click on the .jar-file, nothing happens. What can be wrong? How can I fix this? I use Windows Vista.
Since Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 is no longer compatible with Windows 7, I'm in need of an alternative.
I'm not interested in Acronis Disk Director Suite workarounds, particularly not an application as dangerous as a partition manager. I don't want to mess it up my partitions due to incompatibality.
Anyone got any ideas? Open Source, Commercial or Freeware, doesn't mater!
Most people use their SSD as their primary system installation disk with Windows 7.
W7 already has a lot of optimizations for SSDs, both in terms of performance and lifetime. Minimizing writes increases the lifetime of SSDs, so post each suggestion as an answer and let others vote on them.
Hi all,
I have a 64 bit windows 7 install (thru bootcamp) on my 17" macbook pro, with the bootcamp 3.0 drivers. Whenever i run the apple software update to install the 3.1 drivers, it downloads and installs them, then reboots, and when i've rebooted, it's still stuck on version 3.0 according to 'about boot camp' on the system tray icon. I've tried installing several times, it keeps happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Is there a way to "hide" a normal windowed application in windows?
I'm looking for something that removes it from the taskbar and possibly puts an icon in the system tray instead.

I have been using Windows 8 x64 Developers Preview as my primary OS on my laptop.
Unfortunately I have been unable to enable hibernate (tried through registry and through powercfg.cpl). The closest I have got is that I was able to enable hibernate on pressing of power button, but that just turns of screen and keeps everything else running, I have to force shutdown to do anything.
Do you know how I can get hibernate to work on my Dell Studio 17?
I have a dual monitor setup, and I recently played around with the positioning settings, and some of my single window applications do the favour of preserving where they were last closed, and opening in the same position later. Unfortuanately, that now places them out of the viewable area of my screens!
Is there some way to force a particular window into the viewable area? If it matters at all, this is on Windows XP 32b.
