A friend's computer appears to have Filemaker on it (much to our surprise) but it doesn't show in the list of programs in the start menu or in 'Uninstall programs. Why is this and how can I get it to do so? I have found the exe file and put an icon on the desktop.

That's right: It keeps setting all these Microsoft programs to the "allowed" list. I don't use them, I don't need them, and I have half a mind to destroy their respective directories, because windows seems to want to hang on to them for some ungodly reason. Every time I update windows, a...

Hi While I'm somewhat undecided about how I'm going to update to Windows 8.1, I started wondering about how the update process works. The last thing I do before I update will be to make an image of my C:\ drive, so I can experiment a little. If I just run the update from the Windows update...

I just upgraded to Win 7 and noticed that they have removed the installed date from the list of programs to "uninstall". The installed date was very handy, for as you know if you download something you always get a lot of stuff you didn't want. Sorting the list by date made easy to unclutter...

Hi I've been thinking about the Windows 8 recovery option, mostly because I can't start the Windows Firewall. And Windows Recovery won't do what I want it to do. I want to do essentially what you could do in Windows 7, replace the operating system while retaining your installed software and...

Hi all, As the title states, I'm planning to build my own renderfarm with a termserver and wake on lan. This looked like the right place to ask if what I want is possible and if so, what it would take: This is the ideal situation I would like: I'd like my network to include my workstation...

At first an important request: Please read my problem carefully. The solution is not as easy at it seems to be at the first glance! Since WinXP I have a problem when I want to re-assign a file extension to another application (=the program which should be used when double clicking on a certain...
