Hello, I made my Windows 7 64-bit laptop my new desktop. I put all the peripherals to the laptop; monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc, etc. Everything works fine. I am able to restart the laptop from the added monitor, however, I'm not able to power it back on from a complete shut down...

Thank you Highwayman, Yes, I see now that the DPI does not make text larger online. It only makes Windows 7 and programs associated with it larger. I have taken my DPI back to 150%. I know about the zoom in Firefox but that only takes it up one level. Using Control + does make it larger but...

Hello everyone, I changed from XP(true love) to Windows 7 with new desktop in early 2010. In the beginning, I did not have good luck with Windows 7. I DO like it now but what an odyssey I have been on. In the meantime, I have read up on the libraries but I still think Windows 7 is using...

Thank you trouble!

Hello, Can someone please explain Windows 7 Libraries to me? It seems it is saving all my work in several places. I do not understand '2 locations' and a couple of times it shows '3 locations'? And even another location if I opened it up to 'The Public'. As well, there is an addtional...

Thank you Trouble! I saw this early but too busy to follow through. It worked! Everything is saving in Notepad. Thank you so much!

Hello, Is there an easy way to make Notepad my default editor? Some how Wordpad is default. I read where I could go into the registry and change it there but I am not comfortable with tapering with the registry. With XP, I could change it very easily. As a side note, presently in Windows 7...
