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...

Hi I was just reading about Windows 10 upgrade policy and it seems to indicate that users of Windows Vista (already screwed once, LOL) will not have the free upgrade offer even though the previous and post versions of Windows are eligible. If that's true it seems like a very strange option...

Hi Guys, I have heard good things about this forum so I thought I would join. Unfortunately I have been having a few issues over the last day or so. Basically evertime I open a folder in my internal back-up drivers it seems to intermittently boot me out and closes the window so I end back...

Hi I saw this article, if it's true I'm all in to start beta testing it. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/threshold-be-called-windows-9-ship-april-2015 I can't imagine that they wouldn't want to have a real beta testing, if they are going to make major changes and call it a new OS. I'm...

Hi Guys, I have a file that I can not delete. It is an .avi file that will not run in Media Player Classic or VLC so I figure that it is no good BUT I can't delete it. I went into dos and deleted it there or so I thought but all it did was get dos flashing a prompt dash. I had deleted a couple...

This one is totally awesome, fits right in with Windows 8 scheme. I'm sure you'll love it, give it a try, it's free. Add a Modern UI-style Start menu to Windows 7 or 8 Link Removed Enjoy Don

Hey all.. Now that I have your attention.. ;) I say again Windows 8 sucks.. That being said I will give it credit for being a great 'Alpha' build of a very interesting concept.. but in no way should be considered the next version of the Windows operating system.. ;) Let's just hope that...

Hi, all - I'm glad to have found this forum, it looks like I'll be hanging out here for quite a bit :) As a Windows 8 user of all of one week (but not a stranger to Windows in general), there's a lot of investigating to do and I'm reading as much as I can. I do have one question - Where on earth...

Hi. I'm new, here. I have a question, though, about video playback, on Windows 7. From time to time, (Which is really frequent), during video playback, annoying little green rectangles keep popping up, for around a split second. It's an annoying blink, and, I have a question, about that...

OK, I now have a new laptop running Vista Ultimate 32, and an extra (as per tblount) HDD. My W7 Upgrade is "In The Mail". I want to end up with W7 Ultimate 64 with 2 partitions.

So I heard a lot of talk that something would leak today, June 29th...just wondering if anyone has any news relating to a newly leaked build.

Greetz guys, Well, like most of us, we're all quite excited about Windows 7. :) But before I can venture into using Windows 7 x64 there is something that is needed. Is there anyone who is able to Hex edit the usbport.sys, that comes with Windows 7 build 7000 x64, and change it's polling rate...
