Agreed! That is why they made it with the touch interface, and the desktop. And an RT version that like Android can be modified by the vendor as they prefer it to be. I never said that touch...

Best practices.
System images are great for restoring an infected computer or to quickly be able to be where you were with a new hard drive when one fails. Images are no good regardless of claims...

I use the free Windows create an image program. Here is the deal. You can only restore an image to the computer it was made from whether using Macrium reflect free, the Windows free system, or the...

File explorer and Windows explorer are about the same when accessed from the lower left icon on the taskbar quick launch section in the 8 desktop same as in the 7 desktop. I just checked the Surface...

I disagree that Classic Shell is a must with Windows 8 for me, for the rest that is up to them. For me and mine, Windows 8 is a must with touch also a must. Partial with a touch pad designed for some...

Auggie,
An unequivocal yes. It is stable, and no more difficult than 7 using desktop only and Classic Shell or one of the other third party "boot directly into desktop with a start button" programs....

I find Windows 8 faster than 7 IE 10 nice, and no need for the third party mods except for the one that boots directly into desktop. But that is only because I don't use apps now. Later that will...

I have three high end desktops win 7 max RAM 2 TB drives etc, one laptop Crucial M4 SSD 8 GB RAM Win 8 RTM/Win 7, one XP netbook, a Galaxy Tab original 10.1 and a Galaxy smartphone. I mention those...

rec,
In order to backup to a network drive or NAS you have to be using a version of Windows 7 above home premium. Like Win 7 Pro or ultimate....

Folks Windows 8 does have the same Windows 7 system image program. The only way to find it is by searching on this term "Windows 7 file recovery" without the quotes of course. That brings up the...

On Edit,
jgstanley you already posted what I just did and mine was a duplicate. I see now that you already covered it.
Enjoy people! I am loving Windows 8!

Folks I keep reading make an image and don't forget to back up your data too?? For those we are trying to help and convince that being secure is not rocket science let me clarify. When you make an...

I defrag my XP system once a month after doing Windows updates, as it is not used except once a year or twice for a trip. On my in use systems we use CCLeaner at least daily and especially after...

BTW, nice elegant batch file Ted. I haven't written one of them since the mid 90's,when the AF made us switch to Windows, which I had to have at home too along with my own copy of Office to work at...

I'll echo the sentiments about backing up. I set up all my friends and customers with their own Thermaltake BlacX drive docks. (about 30 bucks at Newegg) Then instead of buying enclosed portable...

I just tried my first SSD. It is terrific! I installed it in a less than one month old laptop and it runs much cooler and screams with ten second or less boots.

I don't know where folks get the...

Toolbars bad! Editing startup menus good!
If you are using CCleaner just click on the menu on the left for tools, then startup, then highlight each and right click to enable or disable them...

I like the Crucial M4 SSD drives today. I just got a 128GB M4 for $149 on sale at Tiger and it really sped things up on a brand new Toshiba L745 laptop. I also upped the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB first...

You are so right! I see the same thing on issues that they make out of tissues because they can't or won't deal with the real ones.

Infinicore,
No you don't need to go there, I agree that the old stuff does work better on the systems it was designed for. But honestly most folks are going to go to Win 7 and drop XP that aren't...

I just checked Cakewalk updates for their products and all the others using the new products don't seem to have issues, but i agree. If you want to keep using the aged recorder you need a dedicated...

I have to ask what audio or music programs specifically are you fellas quoting about that won't work in Windows 7? Is it a case of your having hardware that is not a computer like midi interfaces...

Let me add my dollar 380's worth. In 2010 I finally had my trusty XP pro high end media machine with TV tuner the works drop the power supply. The tuner was analog and would not bring in digital...

Always!
Thanks again Ted :cool:

Ted I got your pre edit in email. I realized what defender was as I checked since I thought that program and name had been retired. MS System sweeper is also now being called defender standalone...
