HISTORY Some months ago, my Windows 7 PC was flagged to be updated to Windows 10, then suffered a hard drive crash. I purchased a new drive and tried to install windows 7 from disk, but since it is an update disk it wouldn't install. My solution was to grab a Windows 8.1 Pro Preview ISO disk...

Hey Windowsforum memebers! I am looking for a Microsoft Windows cleaning utility. Not something like Ccleaner, but sort of a window with all the cleaning tools which are from Microsoft Windows itself.

When we talked about Link Removed back in November, we announced new capabilities that will enable Windows 10 to leverage Azure Active Directory. Since these capabilities are now starting to appear in the Windows 10 preview builds, this is a great time to explore them in more detail. When...

The bank I work for is running IE 8 for security reasons and our users have 1 login to our lending software. I have managed to put together a simple batch file to launch our most used programs to start the day. The problem with 1 login is users have to use "new sessions" with IE 8 to allow...

Hey all, I'm in the process of organizing the data explosion that are my files and folders and until recently had been using the "Library" focused Windows 7. I'm working with a different PC now which has Windows 8.1 as its OS. I'm a little confused by 8.1's lack of "Library" filing structure...

the hierarchy in widows explorer this pc -> c > users -> user -> <my files> BUT I can access my files with start -> guy -> <my files> My question: who is this USER whose workspace is same as mine? Why is it named USER? (and not, for example, guy) Thanks for your time
