    Windows 8 Deleting keyboard shortcuts

    As I mentioned that Beats Audio was one of the issues, this thread shows how to remove those shortcuts. It isn't a general solution of course, but it works for this one application. Beats Audio - Turn off FN+B shortcut - HP Support Forum - 916217

    Windows 8 Deleting keyboard shortcuts

    That program looked really promising, but when I installed it it only showed me 8 keyboard shortcuts on the system. If it did what it promised, it would be exactly what I was looking for, but as it stands, it isn't. If I get more time, I might see what happens if I try to use it to add a...

    Windows 8 Deleting keyboard shortcuts

    Thanks for your response kemical. I could also use AutoHotKeys for example, but my question really is about finding out what shortcuts exist and changing or deleting them. I am coming to the conclusion that this is not possible, which seems quite bizarre to me. For example, the Beats Audio...

    Windows 8 Deleting keyboard shortcuts

    Dear all, Like many, I use keyboard shortcuts extensively. Some are application specific, some are system shortcuts. I am finding that Windows 8 shortcuts are overriding shortcuts I use in some applications, and I would like to be able to delete or reassign the system shortcut so I can use it...

    Windows 7 Keeping a fixed drive letter for a mobile pone

    Keeping a fixed drive letter for a mobile phone For over a year, I have been connecting my Android phone to my laptop with USB so that I can sync certain files. The software I use needs to be told where to sync to, and until recently this was always drive I when the phone was connected...

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    It has proven to be temporary!. However, there was an update of Office 2010 yesterday, and it seems to be linked to that, so I shall try another repair when I get a chance (not for a day or two though) and see what happens.

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    Well, I have done a repair of Office 2010 and, at the moment, the jump list is working for .xls and .xlsx files! If it should prove to be temporary, I will let you know!

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    The arrow only appears if there are documents in a list, so no list, no arrow. It is a good point about the earlier version. I keep an installation of Office 2003 to retain compatability with some of my customers. With anti-virus, who knows? The problem with all these ideas is that nothing in...

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    Thanks for the response. No, I don't have anything linked to the Excel documents - they are all self-contained. Excel isn't pinned as such, it is just a program I use regularly so it is constantly in the list of programs I use most often in the Start menu. If it works, I am adding a screenshot...

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    In case this helps, an xls file just appeared in the Recent Items list on the Start menu, but hasn't appeared in the jump list for Excel.

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    Hi Saltgrass, thanks for the reply. If it works that way, I will respond in your reply. Not sure if that helps or takes us back to the beginning, but thanks for helping.

    Windows 7 Excel jump list not updating

    Given the number of discussions on the web generally, I am surprised at how few there are here, so I am sorry if I simply missed them. I am using 64-bit Windows 7 and 32-bit Microsoft Office. For a long time I had noticed that the jump list for Excel was not updating in the Start menu. After a...

    Windows 7 Deleted files on network drive return

    Thanks for getting back on this. The thing is, this is the default share, so was set up by the system itself. It being the public folder, and the reason why I decided to reorganise, everybody has access to it, and this also cannot be changed. Unlike other shares, where you can specify the kind...

    Windows 7 Deleted files on network drive return

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. User accounts are not the same as shares. I have an account, as does my wife. These are then allocated to shares, which are how the drive is divided up, to manage access to the drive. It comes with a "Public" share set up, and this cannot be deleted. This...

    Windows 7 Deleted files on network drive return

    I have been researching this problem for days, and Windows 7 seems to be a common factor, hence this post. I have a Maxtor Central Axis network drive that I have used for a number of years for backups. I reorganised it a while back and recently decided to do some housekeeping and empty the old...
