Anyone have any experience with Windows Defender? Is it a replacement for antivirus software or something else to run alongside?
We are looking for something that isnt as bloated as McAfee 8.5i.
I am using gprint as a shell call to print pdf files. I have to install the network printer first, but the program runs under a different account. Is there anyway to install a network printer under Windows XP so that it is available to all accounts on the machine?
I recall once stumbling on a program that could take multiple application windows and wrap them inside a large window with a tabbed interface. One use of this, for example, would be to wrap multiple instances of Excel into one window, and thus icon on the taskbar.
I couldn't find mention of this program via Google, because of the multiple meanings of the word "window". Does anyone remember, or know of, such a program?
Hello,
I've installed windows 7 home in portuguese and now I don't have the speech recognition.
How can I had that to my 'arsenal' ?
Thanks in advance!
I've successfully installed Windows 8 x64 Release Preview on a 2010 Macbook Air (4GB/256GB). I was also able to install the Apple Boot Camp tools without incident, but the computer will intermittently freeze up completely (need a forced shutdown) for no apparent reason. As such, there is no logging information to help me troubleshoot this any further.
I have no other software installed at this point; only the latest updates from Microsoft. Any ideas?
Is there a method/utility to actively resize the partitions on a dual-boot macbook air, without destroying the contents? I made the Windows Partition too small initially, and all the places I've looked have stated that resizing now using bootcamp will destroy all data on the Win7 Partition.
I would prefer free, but I'm open to a reasonably priced utility that can grow the Win7 partition into the available space (I can use bootcamp to shrink the OSX partition without any problems).
Hi!
I accidentally deleted a volume in windows disk management. Is there an easy way to undo that action? Or do I have to use a file recovery tool?
Thanks a lot!
I'm downloading some files through a software (metatrader) and save it with the file dialog under a subdirectory of the software (in program files), but under explorer I can't see the files.
Where did Windows 7 store them ?
Is there a way, using Windows GPO, to set up a list of "default" mapped drives that can be applied to a group of users?
I runs small network and would like to make sure that certain groups of users (like Sales or Support) have the same network shares mapped to the same drive letters irrespective of which PC they log onto.
This would make the setup of new users easier and allow the centralised administration of the network locations shared.
Any links to examples and/or step-by-step guides would be greatly appreciated.
This seems like a simple task, but I need to copy files from my host machine to my virtual PC. I am running Windows 7 Virtual PC.
I usually use \tsclient, but that is not working.
How to enable a particular user the possibility to create symlinks in Windows 7?
I searched "Group Policy" and google, but haven't found it.
BTW: Is there a way to search through everything in Group Policy Editor? The filters only seem to work on particular subtrees. Actually I never found anything using the filters.
TIA

How can I have recovery partition at the HDD end? My aim is to have data partition installed on fastest sectors of my hard drive, as I don't really care if restoring operations are slow...
During Windows installation, when I create a partition, I get immediately created EFI and recovery ones just before the actual data partition. EFI position is good, I want my PC boot fast, but I want to move partitions I don't care about speed. I've also considered GParted, but I think I'm not able to use it :P

When I do a search in windows 7 I cannot find any files, even though I do a search for a file i know exists (I can see the file in explorer).
The search query returns folders but not files.
I've been trying to follow Scott Hanselman's post on installing the Win8 RP on a vhd, using the win8 .iso on a dvd, but the install wont start.
I get a black screen with the Windows text for a minute or two and then a :( with some text about setup experiencing an error flashes up and my laptop restarts.

Has anyone got any clues what might be going wrong, or how I can diagnose this? If I kick off the installer from within windows7 it runs OK. But I don't want to overwrite my win7 install
