Replied on September 16 , 2016 In reply to dml5 ' s post on August 12 , 2016 I have also found that KB3185319 security update for IE 11 causes the Open and Save Prompt to occur . Once I have removed this security patch the pop up goes away . I have only tested this with a Citrix ica link and on server 2008r2 , but I would be curious to see if this also works with Win 7 IE11 .

If yes , then for security purpose , Internet Explorer or any other browser will not remember the banking id / password or secured logins . If you are experiencing with other websites , then you may follow these steps . You can use AutoComplete to store passwords and other information that you type into web form fields . When you turn on AutoComplete , Internet Explorer will automatically fill in the fields you frequently type into web forms , such as your name and address . When Internet Explorer starts , AutoComplete is turned off . Follow these steps to turn it on or off : 1 . Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button . In the search box , type Internet Explorer , and then , in the list of results , click Internet Explorer 2 . Click the Tools button , and then click Internet Options 3 . Click the Content tab . 4 . Under AutoComplete , and then click Settings 5 . Select or clear the Address bar Forms User names and passwords on forms , and Ask me before saving passwords check boxes . 6 . Click OK , and then click OK again .

You could click on " restore down " button which is located at the top right hand of the screen . That is the only way you can make the Internet Explorer Window small manually .

Before proceeding , make sure the document is not protected by going to the Tools menu and making sure the Protect Document option is displayed . If it says Unprotect Document , then choose that option to unprotect the document . If the line is a shape , then when you click on the line it will become selected and you can press the delete key to delete the line . If the line is part of a form field , when you click the line it should select the form field . Press the delete key to delete the form field . If the line is part of a table , when you click the line you should see the table outline . Click on the outline of the table to select the table and then press the delete key on the keyboard . If the line is an underline made by pressing the space bar a bunch of times and then formatting the spaces as underlline , then select the spaces and toggle the underline off .

Grau Replied on March 31 , 2012 Top and bottom page margins are honored unless there is text in the header or footer that takes too much room . This would shrink the text area toward the center of the page . If your problem is in the footer , go there through View > Header and Footer in the main menu bar . Then : Click on the ¶ icon in the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting characters . ( If you do n ' t see the Standard toolbar , enable it through the main menu bar ' s View > Toolbars > Standard . Delete any extraneous material ( for instance , a bunch of carriage returns , displayed as blue pilcrows , ¶ ) If you have just one paragraph , make sure it ' s Space Before and Space After are set to zero . ( To do this , use Format > Paragraph . ) It is also possible to have a large character , even if the paragraph is empty . ( Fix this through the Ribbon ' s Home toolbar or select Format > Font . Lots of other stuff can also take up space and push the margin , like a text box . If an answer provides a solution or you find it helpful , please mark it accordingly .

Two things : Paper size and footer content . First make sure you have specified the correct paper size for the document , and that it matches the paper in the printer . Secondly : Headers and Footers are not a " fixed " size . If you put more content in ( even if it is invisible ) Word will expand the header or footer to hold it .

Our Support department has reps that are using Mac ' s ( Office 2011 for Mac ) and Windows ( Office 2010 Pro ) and have a Support shared mailbox that they have added to their Outlook clients for easy access . The problem is on the Mac side only . When the shared mailbox account is added to Outlook 2011 and they send an email ' From ' that mailbox , the email is first sent I gave myself permissions to this shared mailbox to test and troubleshoot and here is what I have done ( from a Mac with Office 2011 ) : - Added the shared mailbox using ' File - Open - Other User ' s Folder ' - this only adds the Inbox and emails sent From the shared mailbox are saved in my Sent folder ( makes sense because the shared mailbox ' s Sent folder is n ' t accessible this way ) . However the reps need to also view the messages Sent from the shared mailbox so this is not an acceptable workaround . - Created an outgoing rule in the Outlook 2011 client to copy messages to that shared mailbox ' s Sent folder . The behavior did not change . - Created a new shared mailbox ( since the one having the issue was created over a year ago ) . Same behavior happens . - Installed software updates and Outlook is version 14.1.0 . , same behavior . The reps are able to access the shared mailbox via their 365 Outlook access . However they would prefer to work in this shared mailbox via their Outlook client . Is there a solution to this issue ? Thank you , in advance , for any guidance you can offer .

Try the code below to add rows to the table only without inserting rows across the entire worksheet . Note that the code expands the table on the worksheet ; it does not insert rows across the entire worksheet . However , it inserts rows within the table range and any data below the table moves down . As a matter of interest , if you activate the code recorder and select multiple rows of the table and Right Click - > Insert - > Table rows above then you will find that it has recorded multiple lines of code by adding only one row for each line of code .

Then we use the time function which takes hours , minutes and seconds as arguments , hence the commas either side of MOD ( A1 , 1440 ) The MOD ( A1 , 1440 ) returns the remainder of minutes when A1 is divided by 1440 . The TEXT function specifies the formatting for the output of the time function . We used the square brackets around the hours : [ h ] so the hours are treated as elapsed time , not time ( o ' clock ) . Hope that helps . Cheers Rich Did this solve your problem ?

This question was for Excel 2007 . The solution is a little complicated for my experience level . I tried the VB route and I get syntax error messages . I simply want to have the Excel place the current date in cell M6 whenever the spreadsheet is saved . Excel can not do that without using VB . See if these instructions help you . First off , if your worksheet is maximized ( that is , it fills the entire Excel window frame ) , then click the Restore Window icon ( it is the one next to the X to the right of the menu bar ( doing this will expose an icon that will make what you need to do nex easier ) . Look to the left side of the ( now floating ) worksheet window ' s Title Bar . . . there will be an Excel icon next to the workbook ' s name . . . right click that icon and select View Code from the popup menu that appears , then copy / paste the following code ( it is Mike ' s code modified for your M6 cell reference request ) into the code window that opened up when Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave ( ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean , Cancel As Boolean ) ' change this to meet your requirements i.e. sheet name , cell ' and the date time format . Sheets ( " Sheet1 " ) .Range ( " M6 " ) .Value = Format ( Now ( ) , " dd - mm - yy hh : mm " ) End Sub That is it , the date will now be placed in M6 when you save the workbook . Oh , and you can maximize the worksheet window again if you want .

I am really looking for an experienced opinion . First of all , unless you have a copy of Publisher 2007 on disc and the keycode , this whole conversation is moot . Microsoft no longer offers Pub 2007 . If you do have a copy then you can safely install it ( use the correct terminolgy ) but as I said , I would do a custom install and keep Publisher 2013 . I agree that in many ways Pub 2007 is easier to use , but there are features in Pub 2013 that you wo n ' t find in Pub 2007 , so run them both . I run 5 versions of Publisher myself so I know it can be done safefly .

See this Wikipedia article for details Quoting : Unicode On 10 August 2010 , the Unicode Technical Committee accepted the proposed code position U+ 20B9 indian rupee sign ( HTML : & # 8377 ; graphic : ) . The character has been encoded in the Unicode 6.0 , and named distinctly from the existing character U+ 20A8 ₨ rupee sign ( HTML : & # 8360 ; ) , which will continue to be available as the generic rupee sign Ubuntu became the first operating system to support the Indian rupee symbol by default . Since its 10.10 version it has supported the symbol out of the box , as it was added to the Ubuntu font family by a contributor . The rupee symbol has been added in Fedora 15 , codenamed as Lovelock . On 18 May 2011 , Microsoft released an update to Windows Vista Windows Server 2008 Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems to include support for this new Indian rupee symbol . This update includes font support , locale changes , and keyboard support . With the Windows update , it is now possible to use alt code text entry to obtain the Indian Rupee symbol - Alt 8377 . ( as of May 2012 , testing this alt - code ( Windows 7 , MS Office 2010 , and Canadian Multilingual Keyboard ) : it works fine in MS Word , MS OneNote , and MS Outlook . Does not work in MS Excel , nor does it work in Windows Notepad . It did not work for entry in a Facebook status update either . However , a workaround is that if you have the symbol in MS Word , you can copy the text character end quote . In any case , you do n ' t insert a symbol into a calculation , but you rather format the result of a calculation as a currency value . If the rupee symbol is not available in your operating system , you can resort to using the " Rs " convention by using a custom format , for example " Rs " 0.00 ; - " Rs " 0.00 " ; " Rs " 0.00 " ; @ cheers , teylyn cheers , teylyn Community Moderator www . teylyn . com 8 people were helped by this reply Did this solve your problem ?

I disabled the On Error trap and still gets the 4605 Error . Any other suggestions ? update : by the way , I remember now why my protection type is 2 .

Outlook plays no role in the sync process - that is under the control of the sync software as it applies to the mobile device in use . There are no settings in Outlook that are specific to any sync process . All sync settings need to be adjusted using the software which acts as an interface to connect the handheld device with Outlook . As you ’ re having issues uploading the contacts from iPhone to iTunes , it would be best if you get in touch with iPhone support for more assistance . Thank you . Did this solve your problem ? Yes No DO DougGrebenc Replied on April 26 , 2014 In reply to Nayana S M ' s post on April 26 , 2014 Thank you Nayana . I am not concerned with a sync as of now . Just importing the contacts that are currently on my iPhone into Outlook . Is that what you mean by sync ? I was thinking sync is more of a constant sharing of data between software . Importing would be a one time upload of information from iPhone to Outlook . Can you clarify ? My Best , Doug Did this solve your problem ? Yes No JR John Ragadi Hello Doug , You can have your contacts imported to Outlook 2013 by downloading the iCloud Control Panel on Apple ' s website . http : / / www . apple . com / icloud / setup / pc . html Install it to your computer and just login using your iCloud username . It will automatically import all of your contacts form iPhone to Outlook 2013 . Make sure that all of your contacts are saved on iCloud first .

I am still having trouble . iCloud is loaded on my PC and is talking to Outlook , but it is not finding my contacts on my iPhone . The iPhone is connected via USB , I have backed up the iPhone to my iCloud account , but my contacts are not uploading . I can not find any control on the iCloud Control Panel that indicates ' import iPhone contacts ' or any such thing like that . I am probably just missing something . Any further help would be appreciated . Doug JR John Ragadi Replied on May 2 , 2014 In reply to DougGrebenc ' s post on May 1 , 2014 Hi Doug , Since you have iCloud installed on the computer , I assume that you have logged in to the application already .

If you want to leverage your own domain , you will need to sign up for O365 Small Business . This is my understanding . By comparison to Google Apps , I believe they support it but I think you need to be paying $ 50 per user , so depending on your user counts . . .O365 Small business is the same cost per user . Personally , I ' m grandfathered in on Google Apps with the free setup for 10 users or less . I would not be able to sign up for it today but I ' m supported for now with my 6 users on my personal domain for free . I ' d like to switch to O365 as I do n ' t get much use out of the Google Apps and would prefer MS Office and OneNote integration , but ca n ' t justify paying 6x $ 50 . Good luck .

I have it free because I had subscribed a long time ago . I still do not see why MS do not want to open this up for O365 Home . After all , we are paying an annual fee for 5 users . As Tom said , it is very common nowadays for families to own a domain name . . . which they can not use with O365 .

A Microsoft account ( Formerly Windows Live ID ) is the email address you use along with your password to sign in to any Microsoft program or service such as Outlook . com Hotmail Messenger SkyDrive Xbox LIVE , or Office Live . Some examples of Microsoft accounts end in @ live , @ hotmail , @ outlook . com . We remove accounts that have not had any logins for more than one year . If you had a Microsoft account and have not used it for more than a year you will need to create a new account . If you use any of the services listed above , please continue reading for hints and tips on how to discover your Microsoft account .

If you are sure that you do not use any Microsoft services , click here to create a new Microsoft account . Here are some suggestions that may help you remember a forgotten Microsoft account email address . 1 . If you used the account to send email , ask someone you sent an email to what address the message came from . 2 . If you used the account with Windows Live Messenger , launch Messenger to see if it automatically logs in with your account . If it does , you can log out and the resulting login screen will display your Microsoft account . 3 . You can also ask your contacts to check their Messenger contacts for your email address . 4 .

There ' s no such thing as " Windows xp vista " . But in any of the cases I mentioned above , you can certainly use MSE . MSE works fine with Google Chrome ( and has no problems with any of the major browsers or any browser - related problems that I ' ve ever heard about - no issues there ) . If it As far as whether Google Chrome or Windows IE9 RTM is better , you ' ll get lots of opinions suggesting one is better than the other or that they are essentially the same ( but just have different features and work a bit differently ) . I have both installed and have tried both of them ( and a few others as well ) . In the end , the only one I use is IE9 RTM ( except for testing or answering questions about Chrome and the others ) . I consider it to be the best browser If interested in MSE , here are some guidelines concerning download and installation that may help : Proceed as follows : To determine your version of Windows , go to Start / Computer / System Properties and it should tell you the name and version and if it is 32 - bit or 64 - bit . All you need is to prepare the computer , download and install MSE , update and configure the settings on MSE ( including scheduled scans if you want and I suggest and making sure real - time protection is checked along with check all downloads and check all files and programs ) , run a quick scan to be sure you ' re clean ( or a full scan if you have the time ) and you ' ll be good to go . Check out this article and follow the procedures : http : / / answers . microsoft . com / en - us / protect / forum / protect_start / check - list - for - installing - microsoft - security / bf757e6a - e320 - 4a67 - 92bc - 767e6acb26c4 - but also check out the next paragraph before you begin the download . If you do or ever did have any other AV program installed on your computer ( even if you did n ' t use it ) , you need to make sure they are all uninstalled and fully removed before you install . To fully remove them , check out this listing of removal tools http : / / social . answers . microsoft . com / Forums / en - US / msestart / thread / 407bf6da - c05d - 4546 - 8788 - 0aa4c25a1f91 or the listing in that article at the bottom under troubleshooting steps ( why this link is n ' t at the top near things to do first where it discusses removing all the prior and current AV programs is beyond me ) or , if not on the lists , go to the website of the AV software and get and use the removal tool for that product . To install , go to http : / / www . microsoft . com / en - us / security_essentials / default . aspx and click on languages and locales at the bottom of the Download button and then choose your language and the appropriate version for your operating system . When you download , save it to the desktop ( rather than running it ) . When finished , right click on the installation icon and click run as Administrator ( even if you ’ re logged in as an administrator ) as I ’ ve found this sometimes helps . I hope this helps .

Yesterday I bought a new ( bigger ) SSD to replace my existing one and am trying to restore the image of the old SSD to the new one , but what I thought would be a 5 minute job has so far been the opposite . If I boot from my Windows installation DVD using ' normal ' BIOS , I can get as far as choosing the image I want to use before I get an error message saying : " Windows can not restore a system image to a computer that has different firmware . The system image was created on a computer using EFI and the computer is using BIOS " . If I then boot from the DVD using EFI I can only get as far as clicking the ' Restore Windows from image ' option after the setup files load , at which point I get an error saying that the recovery disk is incompatible and to try another disk . Out of interest , I tried booting from BIOS and restoring the image to my old SSD and that worked fine so I know that the image and the installation DVD are both ok . Surely there must be some way to do it , as the whole point of being able to restore from an image is that you can do it to a different drive not just the same one ? ? This thread is locked .

I would suggest you to run the Hardware and Device troubleshooter . If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware , try using the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to fix the problem . It checks for common issues and makes sure that any new device or hardware attached to your computer was installed correctly . To do so follow these steps : a . Swipe in from the right edge of the screen , and then tap Search . ( If you ' re using a mouse , point to the upper - right corner of the screen , move the mouse pointer down , and then click Search . ) b . Enter Troubleshooting in the search box , tap or click Troubleshooting , and then tap or click Hardware and Sound . c . Tap or click Hardware and Devices , and follow the instructions on the screen . You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice . If you are using a Microsoft Keyboard you have to install the proper drivers and software .

Then I reinstalled windows 8.1 using new account , this time everything was working correctly ! Then I added a user , myself with the original account , as expected now , keyboard stopped working correctly under this account ! Now I have two accounts , one where things are working well , and second which installed on ANY computer causes problems in keyboard function ! It seems more like MS account issue then anything else . My question is , what kind of information is transferred to my computer when I set an account and from where ? Did this solve your problem ? Yes No Anannya Podder Replied on April 29 , 2014 In reply to MarekKloczewiak ' s post on April 23 , 2014 Hi Marek , Some users have reported that following these steps has worked . First of all , reboot your computer and access the BIOS menu . Look for the UEFI settings and enter the “ Advanced ” mode . Select the “ Intel XHCI Mode ” option and turn it off . Save the new BIOS settings and restart the machine . In case these settings are missing from your computer , make sure that you are running the latest BIOS version for your PC . Important : Modifying BIOS ( Basic input output system ) / complementary metal oxide semiconductor ( CMOS ) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly . Microsoft can not guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS / CMOS settings can be solved . Modifications of the settings are at your own risk . You may also refer to the following link : http : / / blogs . msdn . com / b / kvosters / archive / 2013 / 02 / 19 / quick - fix - windows - 8 - keyboard - stopped - working . aspx Please post with the results . Replied on April 29 , 2014 In reply to Anannya Podder ' s post on April 29 , 2014 This is not BIOS problem . This is Windows Live account problem . 1 ) As I wrote before , the keyboard is working correctly in Command box 2 ) I started a new user on the same computer , with the same BIOS setting , the same Windows 8.1 update . The new user ' s setting let the keyboard work correctly ! 3 ) My account does not let me use the keyboard . What is wrong with the account ? What does MS Live account contain and transfer to the machine what makes the keyboard unusable ? I set up the same account on another machine ( different BIOS ) , same problem , keyboard is not working under Windows . What is wrong ? Can Microsoft tell what is being transfered to the computer when account is set up ?

Why would such a setting be transferred between computers ? This is a real puzzle for me . ES essex_uk Replied on May 2 , 2014 In reply to MarekKloczewiak ' s post on May 2 , 2014 I had the keyboard freeze problem , but my mouse also did not work . When I crashed my PC and rebooted 3 times I was given the option to do a Restore . Microsift advised that following this restore this would fix the problem , well it did NOT . Do n ' t bother with the mashing F8 key to enter safe mode , it does not work with Win 8 , you have to crash the pc 3 times to get into any screen to start to work out what ' s wrong . Anyway I crashed my PC following the 3 separate Restore dates my PC gave me ( My PC is a Dell XPS I7 - 2 months old ) . Still it ( the keyboard & mouse ) would not work . Phoned MS to lodge a formal complaint and the operator would NOT record a complaint ; gave all the excuses under the sun and evuntly transferred me to sales who could record the complaint . You guessed it , they do n ' t handle complaints ! ! ! Phoned Dell Tech support . And we fixed it Crash the PC 3 times , following advance settings until you get the restore option and then restore back to the latest Windows upgrade . Remove both keyboard USB plugs from PC and replace with another keyboard or mouse into another USB socket . reboot . It works !

Generally changing dpiscaling does n ' t seem right , since it is only some of my applications that have this problem . For example , powerpoint , acrobat , calculator and my desktop icons seem to have this problem , whereas word , excel and chrome look great . Finally , dpiscaling ' s minimum setpoint seems to be 100 % ; given that I want to reduce the size of icons not increase them this does n ' t seem useful .

The quality is very poor ( blurry ) . Windows 7 works perfect . Surface Pro 4 JE jescott418 Replied on March 13 , 2017 Scaling is a hit or miss kind of thing . So older programs never were designed for HD or higher screen resolutions . In order for display scaling to work in Windows 10 everything is set the same including those programs never intended to scale . This causes poor display issues for those programs , including blurry text , grainy and over sized windows . Sadly the choices are trying to make it a little better by disabling scaling for those programs , or fiddling with Windows 10 over all scaling so as those programs look better but will probably I had HD desktop monitors but they always displayed at 100 % DPI so no real problems . It was no so with my laptop which has to raise DPI to 125 % in order for everything to scale properly and not be too small . My wife actually has to scale her Envy laptop to 150 % just so she can read some text . Of course this adds to the issues with older programs . These issues will be around for a while until all programs update and are designed to work with scaling . 1 2 | [

To change the display settings , you may go through these steps . 1 . Open the " display settings " in your computer and activate Output to the TV screen . You can either mirror content of your computer on the TV or extend the display just like a dual monitor screen . 2 . Pick up your TV remote and switch to " External Inputs " from the menu . You will need to change the default " Video 1 " to a different selection which may be " HDMI 1 " or " Video 2 " depending on how you have made the connection . Important : Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize external display . You may also need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel else the picture may appear distorted . Tuning The second factor in a laptop to TV connection is proper tuning . If the screen resolution and aspect ratio of your TV screen and computer are not the same , the TV picture will be distorted . This is important whether the screen is LCD ( Liquid Crystal Display ) , CRT ( Cathode Ray Tube ) , or non - LCD flat - screen . The screen aspect ratio is a monitor ’ s proportion of width to height . Prior to 2003 , most computer monitors had a screen ratio of 4 : 3 , the same as standard TVs . Since then , ratios of 16 : 10 have become common , especially in laptops . HDTV has a ratio of 16 : 9 ; and motion pictures and still photography have even different ratios . One common example of a screen - ratio problem is when wide - screen video is shown on a standard screen . The result is undesirable letter Similarly , screen resolution varies between monitors . Resolution is measured in number of pixels across and down . Laptop LCD screens range from 1024 x 768 to 1920 x 1200 pixels , for a 15 - or 17 ″ screen . HDTVs and wide - screen TVs have pixel resolutions varying from 1920 x 1080 to 1366 x 768 . Unless your laptop screen and TV screen are the same size , adjustments have to be made to pixel ratio to ensure the best connection from TV to laptop . Make sure both screen aspect ratio and pixel resolution of TV and laptop are compatible . You can adjust both picture ratio and resolution with the Display Settings on the Control Panel of a PC laptop . Your laptop user ’ s manual and manufacturer ’ s Web site provide information on settings and options for video output . For more information visit the following link : http : / / windows . microsoft . com / en - US / windows7 / Connect - your - computer - to - a - TV To get the better display settings on your Laptop , visit the following link for more information : http : / / windows . microsoft . com / en - us / windows7 / Getting - the - best - display - on - your - monitor When your computer does not display anything on the monitor you have a No Display or Blank Display problem . This can be caused by any of the following reasons : · Monitor or System has no Power · Monitor is defective · Loose VGA / DVI Cable Connection · Video Card Problem · AGP / PCI - e Connector Problem / Motherboard · System RAM Problem Note : If your computer ' s video card has been designed to work well with HDTV , it might come with its own software for setting screen resolution to match the 16 : 9 format .

It requires 2 USB ports - one for power and one for power + data . Since installing Windows 7 Home Premium , whenever I plug it in to my computer ( Asus Z71V notebook ) , the drive will light up for approximately 5 seconds and then shut off . When I looked in Device Manager , I found that the USB port to which the power + data cord was connected ( as well as the USB 2.0 host controller ) had been stopped by Windows because However , the same issue happens every time I plug in the drive , and I would very much like to be able to use my external drive without needing to disable and re - enable USB ports every time I plug it in . This issue seems to be unique to Windows 7 final , as I had no problems with it in either the beta or Release Candidate versions , and I had no problems with it in Windows XP or Vista either . Is there is a way to prevent Windows from shutting down the affected USB port so my drive can go back to being plug and play ? Please let me know and thank you in advance . This thread is locked .

How is it possible to set up a Windows 7 computer such that : 1 . The logged in user and the computer belong to a Windows 2003 domain ( computer is joined to the domain ) AND then logged in user is NOT a local administrator on the computer ( best practice ) . 2 . One is NOT required to type domain administrator ' s ID and password for UAC . 3 . Ideally one uses a 2nd account ( ideally hidden at logon ) that is a local admin ( local to the computer ? ? ) for UAC if / when necessary . 4 . One does NOT want to dial down UAC if possible , doing so remains a security risk . Removing # 2 requirement is the most important for our deployment , we do n ' t want the logged - in local user to do things like install software etc . It may be acceptable to only join the computer to the domain but not the user ( e.g. automatic login to the computer with a local user account that is not an administrator ) . It IS acceptable to use the domain admin ' s account for the * initial * joining the computer to the domain , we would like not to be required to use the domain admin account for subsequent UAC permission - granting . I understand this is a complicated request for information but I remain surprised not to have found anything on the Internet which addresses these issues . I ca n ' t use MSDN managed NGs because no managed NG exists for Windows 7 that I could find . Thank you , Tom This thread is locked . You can follow the question or vote as helpful , but you can not reply to this thread . I have the same question ( 5 ) Question Info Last updated April 5 , 2019 Views 8,105 Applies to : Windows 7 Network & internet Answer RE REMitchell Replied on February 9 , 2010 I ' m not sure I ' m following , so we ' ll take these one at a time - and you can reply where I ' ve gone astray : Item 1 : that ' s easy , if the Win7 box is joined to AD , then a Domain User account ( other than a member of the Domain Admins group ) is not an administrator of local machine by default . You can also use a Restricted Groups GPO setting to enforce membership of the local administrators . Item 2 and 3 : a UAC prompt is looking to accomplish a credentials elevation . even though you are prompted , depending on what you are trying to do , you may or may not actually require admin level credentials . assuming the action does require admin credentials , those credentials only have to be an administrator on the local machine - not neccessarily a Domain Admin or even a Domain account . UAC just happens to call elevation prompts " administrator " For example , on my systems , I have a local computer account each on each win7 box named " support01 " that is a member of the local administrators group on the win7 box ( and that membership is enforced via a restricted groups GPO ) . If a Standard User requires local administrative credentials to accomplish a goal - my first preference is to have a support staffer do it for them - if that is not possible ( such as a user on the road and we can not get remote connectivity to him ) - then This " support01 " account is essentially " hidden " from a Standard User in the sense that on a domain joined machine , you do n ' t get the silly User Logon Icons - you must press ctr - alt - delete , then explicity type the userID and password with which you wish to authenticate . Also , a Standard User would not be able to see the account in the computer ' s Local Users and Groups UI . Item 4 : becomes a mute point . Based on the breadth of your original question - I would recommend you take a couple of Microsoft Official Curriculum courses relatd to both AD and Win7 . That would go a long way to getting you the core info you need to design the correct solution for your enviroment . Last but not least , and account in the local administrators group of the computer is an Administrator of that computer - domain joined or not . Meaning any Standard User can install software on the computer if he has the userID and Password of ANY account ( domain or local ) that is a member of the local adminstrators group . Good Luck Did this solve your problem ? Yes No Answer RE REMitchell Replied on February 10 , 2010 In reply to tlyczko2 ' s post on February 10 , 2010 To be clear : a Restricted Groups GPO is used to manage WHO is a member of any given group . Once defined , any userID manually removed from the defined group will be automatically added back at the next policy refresh - and any userID manually added to the defined group will be automatically removed . If you wish to use a GPO to manage a local userID ' s password , then you must create a Group Policy Preference entry for the userID ; this is supported by default in Win7 , but as I recall would require the " Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions " update be installed on an XP box to get the same functionality .

There is no point since the RAID controller determines where the bytes are written to on the two ( or more ) physical drives . Any benefit you receive will be extremelty short - lived as a few writes later you will be extremely fragmented again . See , the problem is Windows sees RAID 0 as a single drive and defrags it that way . The RAID controller does not . If the RAID controller wrote data only to one drive then defragging would help .

First , note that stopping something from automatically starting when you boot may improve your performance , but it may not . More likely it will improve how long booting takes , but then have little or no effect on performance after that . Second , note that if you want a program to be running all the time , it makes no difference to performance whether it starts automatically or you start it manually after booting completes . As a single example of that , I want my e - mail program running all the time so I have it start automatically . Performance is no different now then it was back when I used to start it manually . Also note that you should be concerned with all programs that start automatically , not just with those that go into the system tray . Not all auto - starting programs manifest themselves by an icon in the tray . You do not absolutely need to start anything automatically . Almost everyone should have his security programs starting automatically - - anti - virus , anti - spyware ( if you run one ) , and firewall . Almost everything else is up to you . On each program you do n ' t want to start automatically , check its Options to see if it has the choice not to start ( make sure you actually choose the option not to run it , not just a " do n ' t show icon " option ) . Many can easily and best be stopped that way . If that does n ' t work , run MSCONFIG from the Start | Run line , and on the Startup tab , uncheck the programs you do n ' t want to start automatically . However , if I were you , I would n ' t do this just for the purpose of running the minimum number of programs . Despite what many people tell you , you should be concerned , not with how many of these programs you run , but which . Some of them can hurt performance severely , but others have no effect on performance . Do n ' t just stop programs from running willy - nilly . What you should do is determine what each program is , what its value is to you , and what the cost in performance is of its running all the time . You can try internet searches and ask about specifics here . Once you have that information , you can make an intelligent informed decision about what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of .

If your file is in mp3 format , use Audacity to make one big wav file . Then split it into 2 equal parts again using Audacity . Both parts should then fit onto a CD which will be able to be played in your car . Your in - car player is probably too old to play mp3 CD ' s .

It was tantamount to me asking for an Apple and you providing a directions to Starbucks . Microsoft is closing up shop on quite a few ventures these days . I just saw news the messenger is going the way of the dinosaur this week . The reason is pretty simple . Microsoft refuses to listen to user input until it ' s too late . The conversation was about Live Wallpaper , not cycling through static images . A proper answer from a support engineer would have been more like : Sorry sir , we currently are not offering that service on Windows 8 , but we value your input which will promptly be dismissed so that we may give you what we think you need , instead of what you actually want .

DE DennisO ' Keeffe Replied on December 19 , 2012 Here is what I did , and it should ( I hope ) apply to any device that you can connect to the computer via USB Cord : 1 . Attach the iPhone with a USB cord . 2 . Hold down the Windows key at press the " E " key . This should launch a box entitled " Computer , " on the left side of that box you should see a column of items you should see a list of items including Favorites , Libraries , and then Computer . In the Computer group you should see your device listed . In our case it was " Deborah ' s iPhone . " 3 . Click on the device . Over on the right there will be something that represents what ' s on the phone , in our case it says Internal Storage 4 . Double click the Internal Storage . It will change to DCIM and tell you it ' s a file folder . Double click that , and it will change to something like 823WGTMA , A file folder . 5 . Double click that ! you should then see Thumbnails of all the photos on the iPhone . 6 . Near the upper right corner of the box , you will see something that says Select All . Click that , and all the thumbnails will be highlighted . 7 . Go back to the row where you found Select All , and click Copy To , and go down the list to Pictures , and click that . 8 . Your photos should be importing at this point . Sure hope this solves your ( everyone ' s ) problem . VA Valerie&Dio Replied on January 2 , 2013 In reply to DennisO ' Keeffe ' s post on December 19 , 2012 I have spent the last hour trying to upload photos onto my laptop with Windows 8 . I tried under the Photos App - where it listed removable discs I to G . I clicked every option and none recognized my device . I tried under " Computer " and my device was not recognized there . Why is something so commonly used , like photos , so difficult to access . Why ca n ' t this be more like a Mac , where I put something in the USB port , and automatically it comes on my desktop with clear and relevant options . I went PC to save a few hundred dollars . Not worth it . 1 2 3 | [

In Windows 8 , select the Desktop tile . Sweep the mouse pointer to the right - hand top corner of the screen and click on Settings and either Control Panel or Change PC Settings .

I do n ' t know any other way around your problem . I use Outlook , part of the Microsoft Office suite of programs , for my emails , and I have set up more than one email account within that program .

I have the same question ( 13 ) Last updated March 9 , 2019 Views 3,324 Applies to : Windows 8 Security & privacy Answer Patrick Barker Replied on September 13 , 2013 Hi , Which security / authentication method you choose solely depends on whether or not the network and the devices attempting to connect to said network support the method in which you want . For example , not all devices support connection and authentication to WPA2 - PSK so you ' ll have to use WPA - PSK , etc . WEP is by far the weakest , and in today ' s security standards I would never recommend using it . Use WPA2 - PSK with AES if your network and devices support it . If not , fall back to TKIP . If WPA2 - PSK is out of the question entirely due to device and or network restrictions , use WPA - PSK with AES / TKIP . AES offers stronger encryption however not all devices support it . TKIP is a little less stronger in terms of encryption but is widely supported by many devices on the market .

I have heard that the landlord can only charge 10 % of what your rent is that month . Could you all let me know if I have to pay this late fee for sept 2007 . 10 / 31 / 2007 | Category : Landlord Tenant | State : Ohio | # 11352 Answer : The following are Ohio statutes : § 5321.06 . Rental agreement terms . A landlord and a tenant may include in a rental agreement any terms and conditions , including any term relating to rent , the duration of an agreement , and any other provisions governing the rights and obligations of the parties that are not inconsistent with or prohibited by Chapter 5321 . of the Revised Code or any other rule of law . Sec . 5321.03 ( A ) Notwithstanding section 5321.02 of the Revised Code , a landlord may bring an action under Chapter 1923 . of the Revised Code for possession of the premises if : ( 1 ) The tenant is in default in the payment of rent ; ( 2 ) The violation of the applicable building , housing , health , or safety code that the tenant complained of was primarily caused by any act or lack of reasonable care by the tenant , or by any other person in the tenant ' s household , or by anyone on the premises with the consent of the tenant ; ( 3 ) Compliance with the applicable building , housing , health , or safety code would require alteration , remodeling , or demolition of the premises which would effectively deprive the tenant of the use of the dwelling unit ; ( 4 ) A tenant is holding over the tenant ' s term . ( 5 ) The residential premises are located within one thousand feet of any school premises or preschool or child day - care center premises , and both of the following apply regarding the tenant or other occupant who resides in or occupies the premises : ( a ) The tenant ' s or other occupant ' s name appears on the state registry of sex offenders and child - victim offenders maintained under section 2950.13 of the Revised Code . ( b ) The state registry of sex offenders and child - victim offenders indicates that the tenant or other occupant was convicted of or pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense or a child - victim oriented offense in a criminal prosecution and was not sentenced to a serious youthful offender dispositional sentence for that offense . ( B ) The maintenance of an action by the landlord under this section does not prevent the tenant from recovering damages for any violation by the landlord of the rental agreement or of section 5321.04 of the Revised Code . ( C ) This section does not apply to a dwelling unit occupied by a student tenant . | [

http://anthillonline.com/how-much-does-it-really-cost-to-protect-your-intellectual-property-rights/ | Home Articles How much does it really cost to protect your intellectual property rights ? Anthill Magazine Growth & Export Management Matters Startup & Entrepreneurship Tech & Innovation How much does it really cost to protect your intellectual property rights ? By Contributor Sep 1 , 2009 7 Most people have a vague comprehension of the various types of intellectual property rights , but few know exactly which rights relate to them and even fewer know how much it will cost to protect them . This new series , written specifically for Australian knowledge - economy businesses , guides readers through the ins and outs of intellectual property rights protection as a solid platform for growth . Intellectual Property is Your Most Valuable Asset Intellectual Property Rights ( “ IPR ” ) come in many guises . Be they confidential information , trade marks , copyright , designs or patents , they all form the most valuable economic assets of most of the leading corporations today . Disney , Coca Cola and Vegemite are some of the most recognisable and valuable trade marks in the world . We only need to remember how Bill Gates was able to use Microsoft ’ s IPR to build one of the largest and most profitable businesses in the world to recognise that if you do not protect your IPR , you will have no business – or at least not a business that strides the world stage . Even back in the nineteenth century when Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb , protecting your IPR was important – right ? Wrong . Edison did n ’ t invent the first light bulb – it was Humphry Davy in 1800 . Edison was , however , the first to successfully patent the light bulb in 1880 . It ’ s U.S. Patent No . 223,898 . Edison was in fact one of the most successful and prolific inventors and businessmen of his time , with 1,093 registered patents , which he used to effectively protect his business empire . Get it ? If you want to be really successful instead of just so - so , you must think about the future . Tony Kitchener of Cash Engineering Research Pty Ltd agrees . It ’ s worth remembering what he said : “ Anyone can have an idea , but no one has ever made a cent from ‘ an idea ’ . They have made money from being able to establish their idea as a reality . IP protection – a patent , for instance – is bricks and mortar . ” The True Cost of Not Protecting Your IPR How many of us use powerboards to plug in all of our appliances ? In 1972 , Kambrook invented the first electrical powerboard . Unfortunately , Kambrook failed to patent the powerboard and ended up sharing the market with many low - cost competitors . According to Frank Bannigan , the founder of Kambrook , “ I ’ ve probably lost millions of dollars in royalties alone . Whenever I go into a department store and see the wide range of power - boards on offer , it always comes back to haunt me . ” Let ’ s make it simple . Ideas , as such , are not protected . That ’ s right - ideas are not protected ! The true cost of not protecting your IPR is the loss of market share ( think Kambrook ) , while the costs associated with protecting your IPR should be factored into the benefit of market share ( remember Edison and his light bulb ) . But not all of us are Thomas Edison or Bill Gates . How much does it cost to protect your intellectual property rights ? The suggestions made below are the minimum precautions you should take . Remember , this is a sophisticated area of law and it is important to get it right if you are going to properly protect your ideas as the foundation for a strong business . If you get it wrong , you may lose you IPR and have no business . One of the most cost - effective methods of minimising the cost of protecting your IPR is a simple one . Conduct an audit and create a comprehensive list of all your IPR . When you know what you possess , it is far simpler to determine what you need to do to protect those rights . Trade Secrets The most important IPR many businesses hold are their “ trade secrets ” or “ confidential information ” . Coca Cola relies almost exclusively on protecting itself not by expensive “ patents ” but by protecting its trade secrets . Trade secrets are most effectively protected by ensuring that all employees , contractors and business associates sign appropriate confidentiality agreements ( sometimes called non - disclosure agreements or NDAs ) either as part of their contract of employment or contractor services or a separate and specific confidentiality agreement . The legal costs of preparing an appropriate agreement will vary depending on the details of the arrangements and will reflect the level of sophistication of the arrangements . DIY contracts are available on the IP Australia website ( www . iptoolbox . gov . au ) but remember the DIY contracts are general in nature . Further , remember you are protecting a valuable right and once the secret is lost , you can not recover it . So , if in doubt , seek legal advice from a patent / trade mark attorney or lawyer conversant with intellectual property law . The legal cost of later seeking to enforce a trade secret may run into many tens of thousands of dollars and an unenforceable contract is not worth the paper it is written on . Copyright Copyright protects the original expression of ideas , not the ideas themselves . It applies to original works such as art , literature , music , films , sound recording , broadcasts and computer programs . Copyright does not require formal registration on a central register nor does it require the use of © to claim copyright . Copyright protection is automatic . As a precaution however , it is wise to use the copyright notation as it puts other parties on notice of your claim to ownership of the material . The most common way is to use the © symbol and the date . One aspect frequently overlooked is the ownership of copyright in materials produced by employees and contractors . Copyright does not always reside in the employer or the business . All employees and contractors should have agreements with the business that copyright in any work created by them as part of their services belongs to the business . Trade Marks Trade marks technically do not require registration for protection nor to claim that you own the trade mark . The original creator of the trade mark owns the right to use it because of its original creation . Registration of a trade mark however gives the registered owner the exclusive right to use the trade mark for 10 years . It may be renewed indefinitely . Even though not technically necessary , it ’ s still a good idea to claim ownership of the trade mark by labelling your products . This may prevent inadvertent copying of your trade mark or discourage those that may wish to copy your trade mark . If a rival business registers a trade mark the same or very similar to your trade mark , it may obtain the right to use it and in some cases even exclude you . A business can , of course , always use its own mark without registering it , and hope a rival does not register the same mark . But this can prove an expensive risk . Registration is usually not expensive . A simple DIY trade mark registration could be completed by any business , with its own time as the main cost . Fees for online applications to register a trade mark are currently $ 120 per class ( http : / / www . ipaustralia . gov . au / patents / fees_index . shtml ) . Fees for lawyers or trade mark attorneys to assist in the registration process again will vary , but will generally be in the vicinity of $ 1,000 for a relatively straight - forward application . If you are looking at registration of your trade mark in other countries , the good news is that the application can be filed once through IP Australia with one filing fee . This consists of a handling fee of A $ 100 payable to IP Australia and basic fee of 653 Swiss francs and a further 100 Swiss francs for each individual country in which the trade mark is to be registered . The exchange rate as at the date of this article is A $ 1.00 is equivalent to approximately 0.89 Swiss francs . Industrial Designs Industrial Designs such as the shape of a chair or the pattern on a carpet require registration under the Designs Act to obtain protection . Registration gives you protection for five years . Registration is renewable , but remember : if you disclose the design before registration , you lose the right to register the design . Fees for application and examination for registration of the Design in Australia are currently A $ 560 . If you desire protection in other countries , it is necessary to lodge an application for registration in those individual countries . You will not be able to lodge through IP Australia . This adds considerable cost to the registration process , as it may be necessary to engage patent attorneys or similar IP advisors in those individual countries . You would need to budget between A $ 5 - $ 10,000 for patent attorney fees in Australia and a minimum of A $ 10,000 per country in which you wish to register the Design . Registration in the USA Patents Patents protect inventions . Registration of a patent provides the exclusive right to exploit the invention . Without registration , there is no protection . If the invention is “ public knowledge ” , subject to certain limited exceptions , there is no protection . Fees for registration in Australia are for the initial application and annual fees thereafter . Application and examination fees are modest . For online applications , they are currently $ 520 for an innovation patent ( simpler and less expensive than a standard patent , but it lasts for only eight years ) and $ 710 for a standard patent ( more complex and lasts for 20 years ) . The main cost is the preparation of the compulsory detailed specifications setting out the background and the claims to the invention that must be filed with the application . A fairly straight - forward patent in Australia would normally incur approximately $ 10,000 in patent attorney fees . The good news is that an application to register a patent internationally may be made through IP Australia . On average filing , searching and examination fees are in the vicinity of $ 4,000 . As each country has its own rules , it is usual to seek the services of a patent attorney in each country in which the patent is to be filed . This can be costly . As a rough guide , a patent attorney in the United States for a simple patent , and depending on the complexity of the patent application , would cost US $ 20,000 or more . However , of all the forms of IPR , the need for expert assistance is probably greatest with patents . Remember , obtaining a patent is only part of the challenge , albeit significant in its own right . But if your invention is valuable , you need to rely on your patent to give you the protection you need from your competitors in the various jurisdictions you intend to operate . If you believe that your invention will be successful in the United States , Europe , China , Japan , etc . , then your invention needs to be registered in each of those countries . Only a well - drafted patent can afford you the comfort you Your IPR is arguably your most valuable asset . Invest in its protection .
