Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to capture live changes of a standard text file without closing the document and re-opening it using a 3rd party program etc. I am trying to capture output from an executable (that's not mine), but I know that it outputs to a standard text file that I am...

RoboForm will not work with Edge, MS's new Internet Browser simply because Edge does not allow extensions. RoboForm programmers state that until the Edge programmers allow extensions, there is nothing that they can do to make RoboForm compatible with the Edge Browser. Come on, Microsoft! Quit...

Hello people of this forum! I'm new, so please pardon if I do something stupid. Today I gave my desktop a makeover. New wallpaper and a new tab colour (black). This all looks very cool, but I can hardly read the tab title when the colour is black. Easy solution you'd say: Just change the...

Hi, After 23 Windows updates were installed a few days ago (to Windows 8.1 PC) I noticed a couple of things 1. Most of the 3rd party programs I had added to start screen had disappeared 2. Most of the Windows Accessories had disappeared from 'Apps' screen under 'Windows Accessories' (this...
