    Windows 8 OneDrive For Business in my Favorites

    I have an account on OneDrive for Business. After synching, I see a OneDrive header in Windows explorer. I didn't like the name Windows gave it so I changed it to something else. I did this by opening the "OneDrive" tree, selecting the library and changed the name. But after re-boot, I find...

    Windows 8 Having Trouble With Apps Minimizing

    I notice that starting when I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1, if I open a Windows App (such as the Store), the app will IMMEDIATELY minimize to the taskbar. This does not happen with applications such as IE, but it happens with BOTH Windows and non-Windows apps. This was not happening before...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 Default Install Path

    Mike, I appreciate your response! Perhaps I should have stated more clearly though: It doesn't really matter to me if some applications like IE install on C:. I'm not necessarily interested in moving those. But let's say the OS installs IE to "C:\Program Files\IE". The shortcut will point...

    Windows 7 Adding Menus to Start Menu

    In Windows XP and earlier, I could paste a folder into the Start Menu folder, and when I opened start menu, I would get an expandable folder right alongside Programs. I'd like to know how I can do that in Windows 7. I have a folder in which I put shortcuts to documents I use often. I could...

    Windows 7 Help: I can't delete my own folders!

    I upgraded today from Windows XP to Windows 7. I have a drive that was created in Windows XP that I'm trying to delete folders from. I get the message: "You need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." So I click Continue. It then says, "You need permission to perform...
