I've got a strange problem. Whenever I restart my computer, the Power Management settings on my wireless adapter keep reverting back to the defaults. This is a problem because the option "Allow this device to wake the computer" is enabled by default for this wireless adapter. Not only is this...

3 days ago, I installed the new Windows 7 SP1; and installation went just fine. but when I tried to upload a file from within yahoo mail, IE8 crashes as soon as I click the "Choose file to upload" button. Actually, I do see the applet, but then it crashes on cmctl32.dll. This also happens on...

First off, hello everyone! Thank you for reading my first post. :D The place I worked at runs heavily on batch file. Its crazy. I have never seen a setup like this before. Anyway, we have an in house program made in magic that sends labels to a dot matrix printer via a batch file. This...

So, I just got Windows 7, and I love it more than I love Linux. I think it was the ads for it. -.- When I had XP, I learned how to make simple batch files. nothing major, just something to bid my time while in class. I just mastered the "IF" command, and now I want to try and see if I...

When You first set up Windows 7, in their infinite wisdom, Microsoft has installed every font/language under the sun (bar one, I'll come back to that later!!). This means that if you are using an English** language PC with the relative keyboards etc., approximately 70% of the fonts you have...

I made these droplets, actions and png files to quickly create a merged png file that could then be converted to icons using any Icon Editor that runs batch conversions (e.g. IconWorkshop, IcoFX). Sadly, I've yet to find a decent icon converter for Photoshop. That would make life too easy!! But...

Hello everyone, I am having issues deleting what seems to be a bad file. Last night I downloaded a licensed program file for a software called Revit from Autodesk. Essentially this is a licensed file, and it is a 3D object for an architectural model. My problem is that I cannot, delete, move...

Hi, a while ago a system tools type package changed my default program for opening .bat files. I have tried lots of things to fix this but my system simply cannot execute .bat files. I converted one of my .bat files to exe to see if it works so there isnt anything wrong with the files...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good simple MP3 tag editor, free would also be nice but if it's worth the purchase price, then I would buy it without hesitation. In the past I've used a product called TigoTago, which worked great on XP, but seems to be a bit buggy on Win7 64bit Ultimate...

Right clicking on a file icon in "my computer" and choosing "properties/details" reveals a considerable number of fields - "author", "copyright", "title" etc. These can all be edited individually, but how can I update a folder containing perhaps as many as a hundred files in one go? I would...

Hi I have asked about changing the Windows 7 Start UP Sound in the past and found it impossible to do. I can't change it or find the Windows one so that I can substitute my own for it. What I'm wondering is if after disabling the standard startup sound is there a way to write a .bat file or...
