    Windows 7 NEW doesn't show up in some menus anymore (Windows Explorer)

    In "Windows Explorer" it used to be that if you right clicked a folder you would get a drop down menu that would include many options including "NEW". That would let you make a subfolder for the folder that you clicked. Recently, when you right click a folder the menu does not include "NEW"...

    Windows 7 The file that wouldn't die

    Some time ago I saved a .jpg file I found on the Internet to my desktop, giving it a name that ended with a period. Having done that, I found that the file on my desktop was now an unusable blank, I assume because of confusion caused by that period, so I deleted it and saved the .jpg again...
  6. Windows 7 How to turn this one off?

    Just happens about 2 days ago. Before I go and do a system restore, I would like to know if there is a quicker way to fix this annoying popup at the bottom of the screen. It appears as soon as I open IE10. I don't have to logon to any website. I have tried Tools > Internet Options > Security...

    Windows 7 Windows Explorer Folders Gone Wonky

    My girlfriend was trying to delete multiple folders and somehow the folder icon got changed to 3 blue rectangles. Not only that but now you can't see the properties, delete, or even move the folders. Anytime you try to move them it just creates a shortcut. I've never seen this before. Anyone...
  11. Windows 8 Windows Update: HUGE SECURITY THREAT

    That's right: It keeps setting all these Microsoft programs to the "allowed" list. I don't use them, I don't need them, and I have half a mind to destroy their respective directories, because windows seems to want to hang on to them for some ungodly reason. Every time I update windows, a...
