desktop management

I wanted to work on two windows side by side and I dragged one window to the left of the screen and it took up half the screen and then I dragged the other window to the right of the screen so that it would take up the other half, and I guess I dragged it too far and let go and it stayed there...

I've seen a lot of questions on this all over but no real answers. I like to be able to drag and drop files and folders where I want them but Windows 7 always rearranges them. Anybody find a work around or utility to restore this? I've played around in folder settings but haven't found anything...

Hi, Got that message after upgrading from Vista Home Premium 64bit to 7 Home Premium 64bit. The environment is thus.. MacBook Pro as the host. Windows as the virtual machine. Any suggestions how I can confirm Desktop Manager isn't working and/or solve the problem? Thanks.

Can anyone pls tell me how to put a folder full of shortcuts in the upper part of the desktop. On XP was easy - you just take the folder and move the mouse up as high as possible and than the folder stays like an upper taskbar with shortcuts that can hide. On Vista was quite not so easy but i...

on the taskbar, pinned icons get mixed with open programs. is there a way to keep them all to the left like on xp's quick launch icons. anyone else have this problem?

Just migrated from XP to 7 and the first huge disappointment is the missing 'Remeber each folder's view settings' option. 7 just doesn't remember any window view/size/position settings appart from the last one used. One example... I like to have a folder with shortcuts on my desktop where I...

Installed 7 yesterday. All went well. This am window would only open to half size. In Vista we could fix this by opening a link by right click and asking the link be opended in a new window and then X it out. It would then recall that size as the default. This does not seem to work in 7...

Hello all, lately, my phone has been switching time zones like it thinks it's in the hands of a traveling businessman (which is what the phone is made for, but I'M NOT A TRAVELING BUSINESSMAN!) Anyway, one would ask, "what relevancy does this have in a W7 forum?" Well, I noticed just...

Hi guys One of the things I really MISS from XP is the lack of a Virtual Desktop manager -- if you have a load of applications running concurrently (on a 4/8/16GB system no reason not to have a load of concurrent applications) it's very difficult to keep track of them and the normal desktop...

Hi guys I've been trying to Break W7 build 7022 -- for ALL the apps I use (even legacy XP stuff for which there are no known VISTA / W7 updates) Build 7022 works 100%. Note this was an upgrade (XP===>VISTA ULTIMATE (32 Bit) ==>W7 Build 7022. Ony issues are 1) Can't uninstall Microsoft...

I wanted to test Win7 on a live machine - outside of VM Ware or VPC 2007. So I built my old PC up so it would run again and then fired it up, installed Win 7 (7000) and then realized I had an issue. The space required to have my Laptop and another machine's keyboard and mouse was limited on my...
