Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Generic (self built) PC I tend to reinstall Windows twice yearly for various reasons & always run into this issue so figured it time to see if there's a simpler solution than the one I'm using. Basically I love the slideshow option & have 3 or 4 folders with up to...

PERFECT!!! I was a bit concerned initially as when I went to stop the Schedule process I couldn't find any way to do it (was running the service as an Admin) so backed everything up & figured it wouldn't hurt then to just try deleting the key. Of course when I did, I got an Error msg stating...

Couldn't find anything in searches but I gather this has become a problem for a few others possibly. I only had one task manually set up (as opposed to those Windows does) but after I'd reverted from Windows 10 it didn't run any more. I presumed it was the only one with any issues so didn't...

Thanks for such a speedy response. That sounds perfect. I'll give it a go & see if she's able to figure things out enough to let me gain access. I've not used that particular one before but it sounds way easier than some older ones I vaguely remember using with Win XP :)

Fixed thankfully - appreciate the thought Joe but no - mine was something else that ended up taking me 4 hours. a lot of reboots, messing around in the Registry & doing things I never knew were available in Windows but ultimately something's finally worked and I'm a happy bunny once again :).

I've happily had 2 widgets running in my Windows 7 for the past 3-4 years without any issue. Usually if either disappears I only need to reinstall it again to get it going. However, for some reason on a reboot today I've not only lost them both, but if I try to reinstall them I get an error...

Sorry - HUGE apologies - was just coming to try & delete this thread as I've now discovered (something I've not ever noticed or seen before) that the Read Only is apparently just highlighted & not set (why the heck that's even possible is beyond me!). Anyway - I've run Take Ownership a few...

Hi guys I just reinstalled my Win 7, 2 days ago, only to find that now all my other partitions are Read Only. NP I thought, just untick the box and reset them, but some partitions are proving rather stubborn to my efforts. I've used Taken Ownership to undertake the process, and then unticked...
