Newbie "Explorer" question

Well, I am still very new. And, admittedly do a number of stupid things.
Which could describe me as stupid, I guess.

I found disc management and lo and behold there was my hidden disc. It
wasn't really hidden but it had no drive letter assigned. So, the
computer gave it one. The Win7 Operating system is now on drive letter
"J". I don't know why a personal computer (not a networked one) could
ever have a drive letter "J", but I got one.

I will now try and migrate data off that I could use and start over
again from scratch.

Oh, one other question, as it was already sort of answered here --- I
keep a lot of instalation applications on my hard disk under a folder
called APS, which I've seen before. I know none of them are 64-bit aps.
Is there some kind of way to "install" my older "aps" in compatibility
mode? Does that even make sense.

But seriously, Win7 doesn't automatically assign drive letters to fixed
disk? Did I have to "map" it first?

Cheers computer people.

You know?
It never ceases to amaze my how many times I can look at something and make
it out to be more complicated than it really is. (Guess that's the geek in
me)
I just deleted my temporary Internet Files and reset the Auto Complete under
the tools menu as you suggested, and viola!

Everything is just where it should be.

Thanks again.

Problems with Folder View

You can also grab the divider bar and slide it to the right to
decrease the size of the Preview Pane.

windows 7 upgrade

Windows 7 is supposed to be much more secure than Windows XP. Vista and
Windows 7 users have substantially lower malware infection rates than
Windows XP users.

As for the rest of Windows 7 - well, it's still Windows NT at heart - even
though it has the best Taskbar.

Windows 7 Backup and Restore Utility

What I am really looking for is to backup my current system as a full backup
including everything on my hard drives. Then perform either an incremental
or a differential backup of my entire system so in the event of a complete
and total failure, all I have to do is restore from the latest backup and
within say, an hour, I'm up and running with a system that I had say about
15 hours earlier. It's that simple.

I currently have Norton Ghost 15 for one of my systems but the license is
for one system. I'm looking into other solutions at a much lower cost
(about ~$70.00/system)

BTW, Norton Ghost is NOT what it was back in 2003. IMHO, the only thing
that has stayed the same is the name only.

Mouse Over (Hover)

In IE, click the query (help) option. type hover in the search box.
In the make the mouse easier to use is an ease of access center,
which includes a tick box for running when you hover.
Sounds as though somehow it is ticked.
The little messages that pop up when you hover were called
tooltips when I programmed - I think those can not be turned
off because they are built in deliberately as part of the form.

I don't want excuses. I want my (*(*& hardware to continue to work!!!
It may not support new features, but it should do at least what it used
to do.
Period!!!
Microsoft has let us down in that area. Sorry for any inconvenience,

Those lines were added when you installed Windows 7 in a multi-boot
configuration. You can delete them as they really don't do anything as
they are just comments.

It's not only .chm files but seems to apply to all file types from
the internet, (or possibly another computer as well).
If you download Autoruns as an example:

When unzipped there are three files types, .chm, .txt and .exe
and all have the 'Unblock' button active in the Properties tab.

.wtv file conversion

I've just found this explanation in a blog:

Reallango + February 10th, 2010 (#):

I think you need to have Windows Media Center set as the default program in
order for this option to be present. I have Windows 7 Ultimate and did not
have the option until I set the default program for wtv files back to
windows media center.
[end]

Could that explain your problem?
