Hi I've got Windows 7 Premium imstalled, and like most people on the planet, I hate the shortcut arrows. My normal fix is to edit the registry and make IsShortcutNot=1. The trouble is that stops you adding items to the jump list etc. So I settled for making the arrow invisible. I don't know...

Hi Everyone, I'm having a bit of a problem that I seem to be completely alone on. There is an executable called "YourGame.exe" that is created on my desktop every time I open the games panel in the Windows 7 start menu. It is 0 bytes so it is nothing huge, but it is extremely weird. I just...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but every time I try to sync to a device, whether it be an SD card, an MP3 player, or even just a random flash drive, Windows Media Player seems to refuse to convert any of the files... It manages to copy the files that don't need conversion, but the files that...

I installed Office 2007 and it runs great -- except every time I delete RSS feeds in Outlook, they just come right back the next time I run Outlook. Is this a Win 7 flaw, or is it really just impossible to turn those stupid default RSS feeds from Microsoft off?

Yesterday, I spent the whole day downloading the new Windows 7. I was completely excited. Until, I started installing it. This is my problem. None of my keys are working. AND it is asking me for the activation keys, since it says it EXPIRED. ...I JUST GOT THIS TODAY, practically. Now, I'm...
