    Windows 7 Changing explorer.exe WMP thumbnails for video

    Is it possible to change explorers WMP thumbnails for video? It seems to do about 3 seconds into the video. Which means my TV show collection just shows me the intro scene to the show for all the videos. So thumbnails is quite useless, what would be great if it was 50% or so... So my...

    Windows 7 I want a specific file to never be able to written on to any of my disks.

    Basically my problem is (long story short) There is a publicly shared network share (win7, just basic workgroup setup), which has a constantly changing folder structure, someone has a virus on there computer, and basically it spam's every folder in there with a file. I don't want that file to...

    I want a specific file to never be able to written on to any of my disks. How would i go about doing this? Hash checking or name checking will be suitable.

    Windows 7 Preparing Desktop..... Delay Every Boot

    My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot. Two questions 1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing? 2...

    Windows 7 32 bit - Anyone running 4+ gb memory?

    Ok, this may sound like a CRAZY idea. I havent had much experience with Toshiba laptops, but see if you can disable audio in the BIOS in your Toshiba. And also, disable the back VGA port as well.

    Windows 7 32 bit - Anyone running 4+ gb memory?

    With the safemode, it will be whatever is after winpnp.sys is causing the problem. But just try to boot regularly with Boot Logging Enabled, and get that file, download Hirens Boot Disk (which has mini XP) if you need it (ill PM it to you if you want) and go to C:\Windows\ntbtlog.txt The...

    Windows 7 32 bit - Anyone running 4+ gb memory?

    Shout out if something goes wrong (as in, before you give up and just delete it), we'll try to help :). If you know how: Make it a dual boot, so you still have a working copy of Win7, that way you won’t need a Live CD :). And if something goes wrong, well you can easily tell us. It would be...

    Windows 7 32 bit - Anyone running 4+ gb memory?

    Likely problem: The drivers for the 64 Win7 is bad. Not the Windows 7 64 being incompatible with your computer. To find the exact driver having the issue (if you can be bothered): After you have done the updates and the issue appears. Hit F8 at boot (to get to the boot screen) and enable "Boot...

    Windows 7 32 bit will live on

    Acctually, you missed my point on it. I wasn't actually referring to the entire XP being Virtualised within Windows, thats not a 32 and 64bit compatibility reasons :P. The (main) reason they did the whole XPM thing was to keep organizations happy about XP compatibility with apps. (Allot of...

    Windows 7 32 bit will live on

    Hmmm. I disagree with a fair few of the comments here. Ive been using 64bit since Vista pre-RTM (The leaked RTM 3 months before it came on shelves). Vista has FANTASTIC 64 support. XP on the other hand, dont touch its 64bit. Doesnt have proper 32bit virtualisation. Unlike Vista and Win7...

    Windows 7 New GUI Theories:

    I can almost guarantee (with cash) that there will be NO major remake of the GUI like that in the RTM/RC. There may be small little tweaks here and there (different icons and what not). But nothing major. RC is the "as finished, just fix bug's" release. Its already leaked, and i can tell you...

    Windows 7 How long do you think b4 win7 is pirated ?

    Try minus a little less then a year or so? (Whenever milestone 2 was). There has been SO many leaked builds of Windows 7. And there has been many various hacks for it throughout this time. And the question in itself, is pointless. Pirates will ALWAYS be able to pirate software, as thats...

    Windows 7 What happens during Welcome page?

    I dont even have a VGA port on my computer (P5Q Premium mobo). And you cant disable NDproxy anyway :P. Even when its disabled, it still boots. According to my reading, NDproxy is only used if you have a proxy.

    Windows 7 What happens during Welcome page?

    I did at one stage do allot of services pruning, but now i'm just trying to find the root of this problem. It also occurred to me in Vista, WLM, or a component along with it, slows down my boot's majorly. But i was thinking today, why wait for boot items on the Welcome screen? Infact, why...
