Add hints for future Windows 8.

Hello. I would like to add some suggestions to improve it for public release (first) detail of the next Windows 8.

I spent some time with the pre-Beta or Developer Preview of Windows 8. I had success with installing the software as internet and some security software develop with it. I should add that on the surface at the moment, Microsoft must support Windows 8 users who want or need to have no use of the GUI of Metro. I am aware of this simple registry value change that it will return to the GUI of Windows 7 with a start menu. I hope non-Metro users would have the ability to restore the start Windows 7 - like as an alternative to the GUI of metro in the final retail for Windows 8. This known simple registry change not only restores the start menu, but as a side effect also GUI de Bar command restores Windows 7 Windows Explorer and the standard task manager too. I hope that these feature features Windows 8 would 'stand-alone' adjustable/switchable user and one NOT 'all inclusive' to go back to Windows 7 as GUI. Windows 8 features improved could be "more selective user" and the user might have some improved functionality known functions inherent to Windows 8. For example, in Windows 8, turn off the subway GUI (restore the start menu like Windows 7); but keep the Ribbon from the Windows Explorer GUI of Windows 8 and Task Manager improved. "Individual" switches would make the user to improvements of Windows feature 8 selective instead of an all-in-one scenario.

Continuing on this "individual switches" or configuration options for users, "novice" Windows users who had knowledge of work little, if any, changes to the system registry, could have a simple once windows direct dialog box or better; an option of control panel of Windows 8, which, thanks to the use of radio buttons in the user choose desired interfaces functional GUI of Windows 8 features like the Windows 8 Metro GUI (or Menu start Windows7), Ribbon of the Explorer Windows GUI (or Windows 7 command bar) and improved the Task Manager (or the Windows 7 Task Manager) etc - once again, all the individual settings.

I see that this can be done easily without much extensive programming intervention. Without these modest user settings adjustable implimented in Windows 8 will seriously diminish the reputation of Windows 8 at the time of those users who had negative impressions of first in some of the interactions between the users of Windows 8.

Thank you!

  • Add Hint for INSERT

    DB version: 11.2.0.4 on Linux/Unix

    I read that when you use APPEND hint, it uses direct-path INSERT that "data is added at the end of the table", rather than using existing space currently allocated to the table.

    What does "data are added at the end of the table"? These data are written above the HWM?

  • My Add-in for Outlook on Windows 10 365 iCloud will not be enabled.

    For 3 months I discovered this problem. I upgraded from 2013 Office to Office 365 and to synchronize with my iPhone 6, I have to activate the Outlook add-in for iCloud, everytime I open Outlook.

    I was wondering if there was a fix for this problem.

    Thank you.

    I have the same problem.  It worked, but it seems that the latest update to iCloud for Windows 10 broken things again.  Now the Outlook add-in iCloud get off whenever I start Outlook.  None of the solutions I found by Google (whether for iCloud or Outlook) works.  Meanwhile, contacts or calendar of events using my iPhone is useless since Outlook is as my master for both.

    I noticed that Outlook is running in administrator mode allows the plugin remains enabled but I shouldn't do that.

    Apple, would you PLEASE fix this and properly test your updates, so it continue to happen?

  • Windows 7 (KB976902) to allow for future updates.

    Today, I saw an update on my laptop windows 7 with Ko 976902.  He says it's to allow for future updates installed properly, and that once it has been installed, I couldn't remove it.  I searched the Knowledge Base article on this topic, and it returns no results.  In some places, I read that it is used by SP1 beta.  I don't have a Beta SP1 installed on my system.

    Anyone know what this update is for?

    Thank you in advance,

    vader95

    This isn't software SP1 beta or even malware (perplexed9, use a little common sense). It is an update that prepares the system when the service pack is released. This has happened with the service packs for Vista too.

    However this update should not be released without proper documentation, so it wouldn't surprise me if people stay until there are notes available.

  • Suggestion: Allow users to attach a note to a tab open for future reference.

    I just wanted to make a quick suggestion: I work with about 25 tabs open, and sometimes need to add a quick note so that I can remember what I had to do with the info on the tab. It would be really handy if I was able to type a short note that was attached to the tab for future reference. Maybe a window that appears if I right click on the tab and select 'Add Note '. A pop appears up to where I can type a note and then disappears when I click "Save". I remember the note by right-clicking on the tab and selecting 'notes reveal. Maybe each tab which is a note could have a color bar in the upper part of the tab to indicate that a rating.
    Keep up the good work; Thank you!

    Maybe to open the Web Console (Firefox/tools > Web Developer) when this tab is open and add the comment here between the surrounding quotes: "This is a comment"

    RE: iTunes and WMP - MusicBridge

    Found this on the web. I can't vouch for it. Use it at your own risk.

    Excerpt:
    iTunes is not compatible with Windows Media Player. iTunes is - like Apple-very protective of any product and does not like to share. So, you have to force off iTunes and WMP.

    To do this, you can use this sloppy program: MusicBridge.
    The description of its creator:
    MusicBridge allows people who use both iTunes and WMP on the same machine to keep their libraries in sync. MusicBridge offers a variety of synchronization options so that you can manage your collection of music in the media player, or both. MusicBridge duplicates of meta-data between Windows Media Player and iTunes, it does not copy the physical files between applications.

    Version 2.0.1 is a bug fixing release.

    Best thing: it's free.

    convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format that Windows Media Player can understand

    You can convert the songs in your iTunes library to a format of Windows Media Player can understand - (I tend to use mp3). This can be done inside of iTunes itself. If the songs in your iTunes library were purchased in the iStore and were purchased in the plus version (indicated by a small sign above the price of a song +), then they are DRM free, so they can be converted easily. However, if the songs were not purchased in the format more, you can convert them for 30 cents each. I highly recommend that you do as the plus version of songs are premium quality - and since they are DRM free, you can use them in almost all applications and you can burn them to CD and play almost anywhere. All the songs on the iTunes store are now version more, so you don't have to worry about searching for them in the future.
    To convert songs to Windows Media Player can understand, open iTunes, and then do the following:
    1. click Edit, preferences, and go to the general tab
    2. click on the button "import settings".
    3. change the "import using" at "MP3 encoder".
    4. click OK and go back to your music library
    5. choose the list view and select the first piece of your library
    6. scroll all the way to the last song in your library
    7. press the button SHIFT key, then click the last song to select all the songs in your library
    8. click on "Advanced" and then "Create MP3 Version."
    9. your songs should start to convert and according to how many songs do you have in your library, this could take some time
    10. open Windows Media Player and press F3 or click file, add it to the library

    11. click on OK - Windows Media Player should start to search for songs on your computer and after that he finished the search, you should find the songs in your library in your Windows Media Player to iTunes library.

    NOTE: This method will not work unless you have purchased iTunes songs or if you have converted the songs iTunes more for each 30 c

  • We need to add security for your account information

    I get this message when I try to open my Hotmail: is this true? We need to add security for your account information

    It's a good idea to add as much security information to your account as you can, as it will help to secure your account. For example, if you have forgotten your password, or if someone else tries to take over your account, you can use your security information to recover your account.

    To start with the addition of security information account, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in to your account using your Windows Live ID e-mail address and password.

    2. On your account page, in the title of the account security, select the link "Manage" next to the section of security information.

  • I lost my product key for my windows 7 pemiumdis House, how can I get a new

    I lost my product key to my disc of windows 7 Home premium how can I get a new

    Microsoft recommends that you only buy a new product key if you have lost your Windows 7 product key.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

Is any place you can look for a list of things that can be added to the registry for example of terms key and words etc. I think that you can't just invent something and put in the registry and end up with something functional that. I want a list of things that are not noramally in the registry that could be added and how we would build the language to add.

    What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

    Thanks for a response.

    Brenda

    Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

    I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

    The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

    So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.
