Hmmm . . . what is the "Start Orb"? The start button? When I click on it, there's no place to type anything in.

Thanks ruirib and Fred. The tutorial fixed the problem. That was fairly painless. :^_^:

And thanks Fred for those links. I've downloaded both and will give them a try. However, I think I might...

Hi all. I have an external drive that I use to store all my music files on. It has always been drive J:. A couple of days ago, it changed to K: and there is nothing else that is J:. So of course,...

Quick update: After I uninstalled the items I didn't need, their "updates" went away too. Good deal.
Thanks everyone for the info.

Thanks Ted. Will do.

Zig, you may have hit the nail on the head. This is a fairly new computer, and as I look through the Start menu, (which I never normally use), I can see Microsoft Office Powerpoint viewer and MO Word...

This question just came to mind as my Win7 machine presented me with some 121 MB of updates that "need" to be installed. I haven't seen this big of an update in quite some time.

So here's my dumb...

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but how do we know they can't do that? I'm sure its probably a good service, but I never need my passwords from a different PC. Didn't you say that KeePass was good...

Thanks Ted. By the way, sorry for calling you "VIP". I didn't even see the red letters on the blue-ish background. (These old eyes.) I thought your forum name was Lounge VIP. :p

Anyway, I have...

Thanks VIP and Clint.

Clint; I had everything checked that you did except "Forms". I did have "User names and passwords on forms" checked. So, I checked "Forms". (I had to close the browser and...

This is IE9 on a Win7 64-bit machine. There doesn't seem to be any ryhme or reason as to when its going to remember login details for a forum. Sometimes I get a pop-up asking me to save, and other...

I, of course, did a Google search before asking this. It gave me this website from Microsoft:

how-do-i-retrieve-saved-passwords-in-ie9

Cool. Looks simple enough. But when I go to the Credential...

I can log on to my bank site, but IE9 won't remember my password and logon name. So I have to type them manually. Strange.

Thanks Clint. It appears that I can set the system sounds volume separate from "music" files. I'll play with this a bit and see how it goes.

Thanks LG. Its cool learning new ways to make Windows do what I want. :^_^:

Perfect! Why didn't you all just say this to begin with? :P:

Interesting. How do you do that? If I click the Explorer icon a second time, the first window just minimizes. How do you get a 2nd instance to start?

Thanks for the screenshot PJ.

And thanks for that info LG, although, "syncing" per se, is not exactly what I'm shooting for. One of the main tasks that I want to perform is to add and delete...

Me too, Doc. But those five are important. :^_^:

One thing that did occur to me, is I wonder if I can set up two sound cards. My "good" one and a 2nd cheapy, then assign system sounds to it?
I...

Yeah, it was odd, but thanks for doing whatever you did.

Btw . . . perfect "smiley" choice. I'm having a Victory Brewing Co. Golden Monkey as we speak. Smooth American beer from Downingtown, Pa. ...

Possibly, because they fixed it quickly. It was doing it for me with Opera and IE9. Now, it does it with neither.

Funny . . . when I bookmark this forum, it titles as "Windows Secrets Loinge". Normally, the bookmark label is taken from the html "title" tag, but that appears to be spelled correctly. Strange. ...

Hey Jerry. Wordpad is what I tried first. I could see the actual text, but all the formatting characters were weird. It just made it hard to read.

Like this:

I like having system sounds. I especially like that I can customize them myself. What I don't like, is that they play through the same sound hardware as my music. (Who would want their doorbell, or...

Hey PJ. I'll look at that. Is the trial version full-featured? If I decide not to use it, does it uninstall easily?

Thanks.
