    Windows 7 Windows 7: Fonts and Font Shortcuts

    How does Windows 7 save information when we install a Font as a shortcut? I've recently had to reinstall Windows 7 in a computer directed at Media Creation; they have, like, 10,000 fonts and not all programs can handle that great a number, so they selectively use only the fonts they deem...

    Understanding the Places Bar, Favorites and Libraries: How do they work, and how they can be customi

    Hi all, While using Windows XP, I used TweakUI to get the directories I frequently used with a minimum of fuss. The default options just didn't cut for me. At first, I thought the Libraries feature would be useful on Windows 7 but in my experience, they're more trouble than they're worth. What...

    Windows 7 Explorer.exe - How to Fix It, Short of a Complete Reinstall

    Long story short. Explorer.exe imploded spontaneously. Had to reinstall systems from scratch. That's why I've been off the radar here for awhile back.

    Windows 7 Explorer.exe - How to Fix It, Short of a Complete Reinstall

    Hi everyone, I've been using Windows 7 Professional on a precarious condition lately. I can't pinpoint why or what's causing it, but I know Explorer.exe is malfunctioning: I don't get a BSOD (fortunately, perhaps) but the system hangs. As whenever that happens, Windows 7 itself suggests...

    Windows 7 Network Connection is faster more stable on XP than on 7; how come???

    Whoa, that's big news, man! Thanks for the heads-up. But has there been any attempt on Microsoft's part to fix this? Windows 7 has been out for some time now; can't believe you and me are the only ones complaining about this. Oh, yeah: status update. No dice on getting news drivers for my...

    Windows 7 Network Connection is faster more stable on XP than on 7; how come???

    So far, no dice. Downloaded driver from the manufacturer's website, got even an utility program in that package to monitor signal strength which tells me it's at 60%, often fluctuating below this amount. Saw an "optional update" for my adapter's drivers at Windows Update, generating a...

    Windows 7 Network Connection is faster more stable on XP than on 7; how come???

    Hi everyone, I've recently moved into Windows 7 Service Pack 1. First thing (and foremost, right now) I've noticed is how unstable and slow my Internet Connection is; Windows 7 reports my Wi-Fi router's signal strength as "Average/Good", whereas in XP it's always "Excellent". And it's not just...
