Stardock Just saw that Stardock is having a 50% off everything sale. I remember using a couple pieces of their software back in the Windows XP days. So thought I'd just pass this along to my fellow Windows geeks! I don't know if this is true but seems like there is a lot less customization...

Last week we paused the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) for all users as we investigated isolated reports of users missing files after updating. Given the serious nature of any data loss, we took the added precaution of pulling all 1809 media across all channels...

Hello, I had a lovely session with a Windows support representative but I can't find a way to express how grateful I am for their help. I was able to press 5 stars to answer two questions about their performance but there was nowhere for me to write out my feedback to explain why I rated them so...

Hi. I know how to disable creation of thumbs.db, and now know how to delete them locally (using Disk Cleanup), but some were created on external drives before I had disabled creation of them, and it seems Disk Cleanup isn't able to access these drives. Any advice on deleting all thumbs.db files...

I found a thread on this subject from sometimes back but there was no good solution so I want to ask this again. I upgraded my computer with a much faster but much smaller SSD drive. There is way to move c:\Users\user_name to another drives but that's not a good way todo because you have to do...
