Yes, you can copy your XP Favoites to Favorites in Windows 7.

Even with pictures and videos.

You may need to take ownership of the files once copied in Windows 7.

  • Can I get a professional XP disk and install the OS individually on each computer (they have all their key codes), or do I have to find another way?

    I bought a bunch of desktop computers that came with XP Professional with IBM. I ordered the reinstallation disc, but it worked on one of my computers. Can I get a professional XP disk and install the OS on each individually (they have all their key codes), or do I have to find another way? I don't have the money to buy the recovery for each computer disk.
    IBM ThinkCentre

    Pentium 4 3.0ghz

    512 MB of ram
    hard drive 40 GB

    XP Professional

    As long as the disc you are using is the exact same OEM disc that would be provided by IBM that would work on these computers. It cannot be a copy in the Windows retail.

  • How can I copy all my favorites from my pc to my netbook

    My PC OS is Windows 7 Professional. My Netbook OS is Windows 7 Starter. I use my Netbook only when traveling and therefore do not want to synchronize it with my PC. I tried the methods described in using Firefox. Using the question %adddata%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles on my PC, I found that the bookmarks on my PC are in C:\Users\WalterSeaton\Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dq7osm85.default. Research produces the same location of file on my Netbook, except that the last section is \r05b5pau.default. Can I copy my favorites from the PC to my Netbook by 1. Copy C:\Users\... \dq7osm85.default
    on an external hard drive. 2. change its name in C:\Users\... \r05b5pau.default; 3 3 coller paste from the external hard drive to my Netbook, replace the existing file?

    Or is there another way which does not seem to be covered by the responses of 'help '.
    Thank you very much

    Hi WalterSeaton, you wrote:

    1 how the Netbook picks up the HTML file stored on my desktop PC? They are not connected. Can I copy the HTML file to an external hard drive and from there on the Netbook Office? And then use IMPORT?

    Yes.

    2. According to the help files, when export you bookmarks as HTML erase you Firefox - is that correct? Because, if so, I can't use your advice, because I still need my favorites on my PC.

    This is not true. We have to correct that. Where you do not see that?

  • How can I copy my current Firefox bookmarks and emails and settings to a reinstalled Firefox copy back them later

    I have problems with Windows Media Player and have tried all the options for sorting. It was installed on my laptop when I bought in September 2012 and now the problems I can't solve. By checking the default values of the player and troubleshooting, I found out that the fie was created ISO January 21, 2013, the same day I downloaded Real Player. It should have been seven 2012 when I bought the computer. A Real Player caused a conflict? = I don't know.

    I  now see no way out except restoring Windows 7 from the recovery disks made when I bought the computer or maybe downloading a new version of Win Media Player .
    

    If I do a restore then I'll lose my emails from Thunderbird and my favorites on Firefox - I would like to avoid this, if possible. Please let me know how and where I can copy these and how I can download / copy them when I'm running with my reinstalled Windows 7.

  • Can not copy / paste from one folder to another.

    Just recently, I can't copy and paste a word document to a different folder, and my office is locked and can not move icons. I've unlocked settings, also tried to reconstruct the dates. Running advanced system of care. Creates a new user. Nothing works. My computer as most of the people is a tool and not used to play games, it's time to implement a different system, that is to say Windows 7 or wait 8. I honestly thought that XP Pro has been very stable and I have all the important issues in over 5 years, and in this case. This is the result of an update?

    Hello

    1 did you change your computer, after which the issue started?
    2. the issue of copy paste only occurs with Microsoft Word?

    Windows XP is still very stable and reliable. If you want to upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can do it. It's a good idea to upgrade your operating system to get used to a new User Interface that would give you a new experience altogether.

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Test the issue in safe mode.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, I suspect that there is a conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I suggest that you start your computer in a clean boot State in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.

  • Save a copy in the specific folder and edit original

    Is it possible to bridge to make a script that:

    1. Copy a picture of the original to a particular folder another folder
    2. Give the original photo, a keyword, a label or a field of metadata with today's date?

    I've been using PHP and VBA and have just started to learn JavaScript, so I might be able to understand something of my own if you point me in the right direction. If you could give me the script ready to use, I will be very grateful.

    Our location:

    We publish photos in a weekly news journal and online. We have pictures in one folder, ready for use. When put us a picture in production copy us to another folder, but we would like to know if and when a picture has been used, so we are not using the same photo over and over again. It would be great if we can mark the original somehow "used" and "date".

    Thank you!

  • Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Word and Excel.

    Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Excel, Word, PPT correctly. The format does not.  I can not format painter at all. It is a recent behavior, since he did not like that 3 weeks ago.

    If I close IE 9, Office programs work perfect.  So everything indicates that a compatibility issue with Office 2007 is present when Internet Explorer is opened.

    I can't associate the recent behavior with any recent download that could create conflict, but perhaps he started after an automatic update of Windows.

  • can I take a copy of OEM Vista Home and install it in VirtualPC after upgrade to 7

    One of my computers came with Vista 64-bit Home Premium edition. I've since upgraded to 7 and have defined as a dual boot so I can support others using Vista.
    Is it possible to extract the installation of the "recovery partition" files on my system and instead to install Vista as a virtual machine, so I can get rid of the dual boot and free space hard disk Vista care? I can install applications on the virtual machine if necessary.

    I have VMWare and Virtual PC installed.

    So, to summarize, I have 3 questions.

    1. is it legal to use a preinstalled OEM copy of Vista like that, or is it considered using it on another machine? I use it on main technical terms on the same machine, he came, but with Winodows 7 as OS these days.

    2. will I have difficulty to activate? It probably allows to detect the hardware like VMware or Virtual PC instead of a gateway DX4200 something (I forgot and don't feel like diving under the desk to look at).

    3. How can I go about extracting the installation files to do this? I really need instructions in the procedure.
    It's mostly a question of «how to make a Vista installation from the recovery partition CD»

    Hello

    your OEM license is related to the hardware in your computer where it was installed at the factory

    a virtual machine facility is different from the normal resettlement that is required for the Activation of the OEM license

    Contact Gateway for how to make recovery disks

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft

    You should find information here:

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418asi.shtml

    _________________________________________________

    and if you use a vista license to upgrade you cannot use this license vista to reinstall vista anywhere else

    It is part of the upgrade and is related to the installation of upgrade

    __________________________________________________

    and installation on a virtual machine is counted as a facility

    on the same machine a license = one Installation is still the rule

  • Can I save Firefox on a drive and install on another tour of Windows 7?

    I can't go online with IE8 on the other computer windows 7 because that is blocked to all pages, but the activation of Comcast page navigation, and everything has been activated. I want to save Firefox on a drive and install it on that screwed up and then disable access to IE8. How do I do that?

    I tried to disable the firewall and change the security settings on Windows 7 system, but nothing works. It won't let me change the homepage, search or go to the Firefox download page, all navigation is blocked, citing invalid certificates. I tried to get around this, but it does not work.

    This tower has Windows 8.1 on it and connects to the Internet with Firefox, though, and I can't find how to navigate because it rejects files that would work on the other because of the automatic detection of settings.
    Thank you

    You can (although I would like to use a USB stick rather than burn them on a disc).

    • Navigate to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the copy of Firefox that applies to you.
    • Move it to a USB
    • Take this to your computer and install it
    • If you are having problems with the activation of Comcast page, please call.

    How can I get rid of vista without having to run 2 operating systems?  and install xp?

    Check the computer manufacturer's Web site if there are all the XP drivers for your model computer.
    If there is none, forget XP.

    Next thing you'll need is to buy a XP disc.

    Then perform a new installation of XP, Vista removal in the process.
