There are two temporary folders whose contents can be deleted. Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type temp and press Enter. Delete everything that appears (there may be a few obstinate files that cannot be deleted, just skip them). Repeat the command for the other folder using %temp% in...

In Edge click the Breadcrumbs (… top right) > Favorites > Breadcrumbs again at the top then Export or Import.

|clip is part of the command. The 4 spaces must be present in the command for it to work.

To list all programs this certainly works in Windows 7 and 10, but I cannot remember if it will work in XP, try it you can do no harm. From an elevated Command Prompt, i.e. click the Windows Orb (Start) > All Programs > Accessories and right-click Command Prompt, then ‘Run as Administrator’...

For goodness sake "Man up", the program I identified (BulkRenameUtility) is easy to run!

Download the free 32-bit or 64-bit version of Bulk Rename, here http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

After years of trying different methods of naming and sequencing hundreds of Internet Explorer Favorites, here is the method I have settled upon. Rename the top level folders with a two digit prefix (starting 01, 03 etc.) followed by a space. I have ‘01 Finance’, ‘03 Forums’ through to ‘53 Art’...

To do it manually, you would use the assoc command to associate extensions to file types and the ftype command to associate a file type with an application. For example, if you had an extension named .ldg that was used by a program named ledger.exe, you would create a file type called, say...

It took me four hours to install it. On the WindowsTen forum it took someone over six hours, so just be patient. Dona Sarkar has rather optimistically suggested it may sit idle for 30 minutes or so, scroll down here...

Here is some information that I have put together over the years. It should answer most of your questions: There are five main branches of the registry. HKEY is an acronym for Handle to Registry Key. They are as follows: 1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) – The information that is stored here makes...

A number of us fixed it that way, here is the official Microsoft reply https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_defender-protect_updating/on-windows-defender-definition-update-error/26689087-6b72-4d25-b31a-bc85a8f13d3e

It should have been corrected by now but in case you’re still receiving the error, update the definitions manually via the Defender User Interface which should then resolve the issue with Windows Update via Settings..

This is an old issue that has been around for many years. To regain the Tabs and information, double-click on the outside border of the Task Manager window. Double-clicking toggles it on and off.

I find that 14:10 is best for me, I’ve had lunch and I’m raring to go! Sorry, I couldn’t resist that. There are, and always has been, two schools of thought about new technology: 1. Always buy the latest and stay up to date. 2. Don’t be a guinea pig with a new product, wait until it’s fully...

That seems odd to me. I have no trouble transferring files between Windows 10 and OSX (currently El Capitan but was Leopard in 2009 when I purchased it). There are three methods I use: 1. USB stick formatted originally in MacBook. 2. Network transfer via file sharing. 3. NAS using a large...
