    Windows 10 Background Slideshow doesn't include sub folders

    I tried the "Libraries" hack described in the link, but it didn't return to the "old style" wallpaper settings for me. It just went to the current settings window, not allowing subfolders to be included. I may have been missing something and not doing it right, however, I went and tried another...

    Windows 10 Background Slideshow doesn't include sub folders

    Windows 7 How to secure data on a USB hard drive?

    That's a very good point. I consider theft and fire as the most likely disasters, hardware/software failures notwithstanding. The drive will be much safer stored in a safe. I may consider storing a semi-annual backup in the bank safe deposit box too.

    Windows 7 Windows Mail used in Windows 7?

    I'm going to upgrade my wife's OS from XP to Windows 7. I think she will be happier with Windows Mail (that appeared with Vista) instead of Windows Live Mail. It has a look that will be more familiar to her. Can I use Windows Mail in Windows 7 instead of Windows Live Mail?

    Windows 7 Windows Live Mail - Where is "Check Mail Now"

    I have set WLM to check mail every 5 minutes, but if I want to check it now, I don't know how. I used to be able to do this in OE. Can I still do this? Thanks.
