Thank you :-)

Hi Saltgrass. 4 years have passed and I just now realized you had replied. Please accept my apologies. I meant no disrespect. I am always but always grateful for the help given. I must have never received an email telling me you had replied or something along those lines. Once again sorry (I...

When you defrag your computer you can hear the hard drive running as it changes files back and forth. At times I can hear the same sound (or similar) but have no clue what it can possibly be doing. My 1st instinct is to unplug my internet connection should someone be hacking in my PC and using...

Oh my god! please do not feel a need to apologize. Regardless of your answers I am still grateful for them. And besides, sometimes answers, regardless of how good they may be, spark ideas or thoughts which may lead to other answers/solution (or more questions). Thanks buddy, really.

Hi thanks again-- Remember I did mention that thm files, in this case, are actually jpg files, so there is not need to convert them if that is what one wants to do. All that is needed, is to change the extension from thm to jpg and voila, it's done. But that is not what I want to do. Remember...

Thanks David. They may just be thumbnails nevertheless, I would like to see them. I get them via my media player which gets them from Amazon--album covers--and no, they don't have a correponding jpg next to it and neither would I want to delete them. In the few, though too old, places I found a...

A search for "'How to view .thm files in Explorer" shows results that date back to Windows XP which makes me not consider what advice may be given. This search did teach me one thing though and that is that .thm files are not only images files, as i thought they would be. My THMs are all image...

From the bottom f my heart I thank you. If I may, since Microsoft's power Toy, TweakUI did a wonderful job of this in Winows XP (and before) do you think it safe to use it on Win7? I could not find any literature saying it can or can't. (oops one reader did suggest against it)

Truly thanks for your help. I've tried many tweakers, of which 'Ultimate Windows Tweaker' which you mention is one of them. Strangely enough although it has a zillion features it does not have the one I am looking for. (If it does I did not notice it. It has so many things you could do with it...

In another post someone asked the question: How to permanently remove/ban programs from the Start Menu Recent List? (Since manually deleting them will only get them back on once the program is started again.) The sole answer gave a suggestion to "switch the feature off". This answer though...

On my PC there is a card reader connected. It shows up as 4 different drives when I look at "My Computer" and elsewhere. One of the slots in the reader is for sim cards. When a sim card is inserted a Windows sound is heard and the "Installing Device Driver" window shows up and then another...

I know one can change how to allow User Account Control to change its settings (the slider) but is there a way for controlling which programs are always allowed (giving it permission hence never having to see that annoying window for that program)? I do not want to disable it. I just want...

Thanks again I decided to do what u did so u can see. These were my steps; Opened a file from within the external drive and made a few changes -2- saved the file on the internal drive (and took screen shots of its properties). -3- moved this same file back to the external drive (and took shots...

Hi Once again thanks I read u I asked myself; What is a library? Do I create a new folder and then move everything from the ext drive into that new folder? Anyhow assuming a library meant a new folder and to create this new folder in the external drive, I did as you asked--and it worked. And...

saltgrass, I have to admit u have one of the most interesting/original names I have seen in quite a while--would be curious to know how it came to be. But besides this I must thank you for taking the time in trying to help me. What kind of external drive? It's one of those really small ones you...
