Note taking with text editors is the best way I've ever used. The real note taking software keep files locally which is risky for data loss when the operating fails or when the notebook is stolen. Word processors are too clunky and risky of data loss when crashed. Mozilla Composer is the fast...

A little publicized but very important feature of the 1903 update is the new file explorer search engine. I mean the one that searches not only names, but file contents. The new one is very fast, (the old one was incredibly slow) and supports 'quotation mark' searches, which return the files...

Hi, my laptop wouldn't access the operating system yesterday when turning it on & only worked after opening it up & pushing the harddrive in. On starting it up it forced me to access some samsung recovery options so I did that. Now the desktop appears & the files appear on my desktop but no...

It seems no matter what I do, Windows 7, obviously my superior, won't let me. I wrote an app in VB6 for a client. It writes data to text files and creates pdf files. If it runs on Windows 7 (and apparently Vista), it throws a 'file/path access error' and won't complete the job. This is a...
