Hi Is it possible to reconfigure the taskbar shortcut controls (reg hack?) I like Ctrl+Left Click as it brings the last active window to focus (which is great for MSN Messenger as it is daft to have to scroll through you preview windows to see who sent you the last message) But I dont want...

The problem with all the alternatives is none of them offer the complete acrobat package. What i want is..... Free PDF Viewer Browser integration Explorer Icon Previews Vista/Windows 7 Preview Handler (the big preview in the preview pane) and native 64Bit FoxIt comes close, but no native...

I think he means Sumatra PDF viewer by Krzysztof Kowalczyk its for Sumatra, which is good but not 64bit native and has no preview handler

Ive just tried PDF Xchange which is 64 bit native, but doesnt support file previews in explorer (no preview handler!) FoxIT has a preview handler plugin, but i cant seem to find one for PDF Xchange

Yes Foxit "Runs" fine on 64Bit, but it is not 64 Bit native, it installs to the Program Files(x86) folder. I want as much 64 bit native software as I can get :)

I've tried sumatra but it doesnt support Windows Preview. FoxIt doesnt seem to be 64 bit native I dont want to use Acrobat as its utter bloatware. Any other ideas?

Well, technically yes... If the vista partition shows up in windows 7 (which it most likely will) then a virus could technically spread to files on that partition and then infect vista when it loads up. Or you could get a boot record virus which would prevent any drive from booting up. If you...

Your vista partition is a completely seperate operating system from your windows 7 partition the software on each partition is completely independant, meaning you can have the same application on each OS partition or different applications that do the same thing. Its almost the same as...

There is a problem with the new default H264 codec in Windows 7 I have around 380 DVDs ripped to H264 by using Xillisoft DVD Ripper (apple tv h264 profile) bit rate max 800, frame rate 25 Now in Vista media center all of these movies played just fine (using the Community Codec Pack) Windows 7...

I've been using Avast Anti Virus on Win 7 for 2 reasons 1st its free (you have to register ur details every year though) and it sits in the background and hardly bothers you 2nd it actually supports 64bit Win 7 (unlike AVG which just installs the 32Bit version of free avg in win 7) it also...

Hi all, I've just upgraded my Vista Home Premium 32Bit (media center computer) to the 32Bit 7100 RC build of Windows 7 (doing upgrade not clean install). I have a couple of problems with the new Win 7 Media Center Firstly it is really sluggish! When I click on the menu items it takes a...

I could put the windows 7 taskbar back to the way XP/Vista worked if I wanted (including Quicklaunch) But that is beside the point. The new system should be better! not worse! Bad Microsoft!

The new taskbar has some great features, Aero Peek and Jump Lists are two things I really like. However, here is the big problem lets say I have a few chat windows open and they're all hidden behind another window (lets say Firefox) If someone sends me a message the chat icon flashes to...

I've just upgraded my vista media center to windows 7 7077 build and the new Media Center doesnt seem to support H.264 video play back. I did have the CCCP Community Codec Pack installed (for vista play back) but as Win 7 is supposed to support h.264 as standard I uninstalled it. In Windows...

yes i know you can put the taskbar back to the XP/Vista way, but this is beside the point. My original point is that the "new" style taskbar has a fundamental flaw with notification, whats the point in having something new if the only solution to the issue raised is to use the old style?
