• Changing colors on right click context menu

  original title: change highlight

  When I right click on the desktop in a drop-down list appears. Is there a way to change the highlighting when I move my mouse over there? Also the top of the window where it has File, Edit, etc when I move the mouse it it goes black. Can I change this too? On windows 98, you can change it.

  OK it seems that my problem is not yet solved. My problem is when I had windows 98 I could change appearances on 98, but windows 7 does not work correctly. When I get an empty spot on the Monte of his gray box office and the highest point is the light. In windows 98, it can be changed on the appearance settings. On windows 7 I have change the color for this settings and is always gray. Also, when hover the words File, Edit, etc., it becomes black. I had no problem with the 98. How can I make it look like windows 98?

  Hi Rose

  Optional color settings have not much effect in Windows 7 because the display is based on the selected theme. If you use an Aero theme, then these settings will have almost no efffect.

  Here's what you can do.

  Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select Personalize.

  In the upper part of the window, scroll down and select the Windows Classic theme. This will give you the view that is closer to what looked like Windows 98.

  You can then enter in the color of the window / advanced appearance settings and try different options until you get what you are looking for.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Creative Cloud Desktop folder right click on the missing file Options

  Hello

  My creative Cloud DESKTOP folder does not properly since last week.  I've already lost nearly 3 hours with tech support. Share my screen and try different things.   I think that the Tech Guy was incompetent. He didn't get that question and just kept trying the same things again and again for 3 hours.

  
  MY FILES SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY. THERES NO PROBLEM WITH THE SYNC.  If I drag files into the creative cloud desktop folder. They synchronize correctly in the cloud.   I can access it online without problems.

  The question that I'm going to do with the actual file.  It does not appear to be installed / working properly.   Here is a picture of the help of the Adobe site.  (Creative cloud help |) Collaborate on files and libraries)

  

  1. notice how at the bottom left of each file / folder inside the creative cloud files folder theres a GREEN check MARK (this changes depending on the status of the file).
  2. note also when the file's right-click theres only a 'CREATIVE CLOUD"drop-down Menu with Options for display on the Web site, work together.  Sendlink etc...

  Until last week, My Creative cloud file was EXACTLY the SAME! works perfectly well.   I think that since the new update CC that he stopped doing this.

  Here is a screenshot of MY Creative Cloud Files folder

  

  1 Note how I don't have these icons of green check mark at the bottom left of each file/folder indicating the status of the folder/files.  (YES THE FILES ARE SYNCHRONIZED ILS SHOWS upward on THE site WEB SERVER even if I do not see the controls on the files...)

  2. you can not see in the screenshot, but if I right click on a file/folder I DO NOT have the CLOUD CREATIVE drop-down list, giving me the possibility to send a link, view site etc...

  As I said I've already spent nearly three hours with an incompetent tech guy. He just kept removing .db files, delete the coresync folder, make me Logout / I leave CC etc... for 3 hours.    After two hours, he said he had no problem and had to reexplain him the question...   A bit frustrating really.      Yes, I restarted computer several times. This does not solve the problem.

  I'm on a Pc with Windows 8.1.
  Run the latest version of creative cloud.
  my number is 0186758070

  I hope that this problem can be solved.  It was very convenient for me to click right files and send the link directly. rather than go on the website cloud server and share the link!

  Thank you

  Hi Sgtfrog83:

  Thank you very much for letting us know that your issue has been resolved after reinstalls creative cloud.  The problem is caused by Windows Explorer integration, and there are at least three applications to sync with similar integration methods and that can cause install conflicts.

  Best regards.

• cannot open programs by right click and run as administrator

  had a virus earlier today, I think it was the security of windows one... anyway I got rid of it with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. now, for some reason, I can't run programs without going through a right-click and run as an administrator.
  When I try to run normally (left-click) I get this window "open with."
  I'm not very good with technical terms, but I tried several fixes that have failed

  When I right click, open properties, then open the tab compatibility... "run this program as Administrator" button is grayed out so I can't do anything with that.

  turning UAC enabled or disabled dosent seem to do anything.

  Some programs are completely inaccessible, (like microsoft word)

  I also watched regedit but as didemt not a lot of sense to me at all. If anyone could break how to fix this step by step before reinstalling the DVD (which I did not), you will be my best friend

  EDIT: I followed this link of early wich looked like the same, but the link of download in the best masculine seems to not work

• You cannot change the administrator rights

  The biggest problem that I have without having administrative access is that I can't uninstall programs, updated ones I use or change my display settings.

  I never did nothing for my computer and am the administrator, this problem just happened on its own. I can not disable UAC because he is not authorized by the Security Center.

  I just want to be able to take control of my computer.

  I tried to make orders on the run screen, but he also tells me that I don't have administrative control to do that.

  I tried to run in safe mode, but it still does not allow me, because this shield bit stupid with four color blocked me to make changes.

  Please help, this user access thing really sucks.

• decline of via right click on tree of LabVIEW

  I have a tree of LabVIEW control on my front and I would like to allow the user to select an item in the tree with a right click. I think it's called right click drop through, but I can't find any information on this subject. Is it possible to do?

  One way to do would be to use the tree: the mouse down? case of the filter event.  A constant '1' wire to the button output node and all clicks will be treated as a left click.

• Convert Web Page to PDF via right-click

  Hello!

  I scoured the forums and can find similar problems, but not exactly.  I apologize in advance if this is a double post.

  First of all, let me list the versions of software that I use:

  Internet Explorer v 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.090206 - 1233

  Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (8.0.0)

  Adobe Acrobat 8 taken into 'HTML2PDF.api' V 8.0.0

  I'm not sure what other versions of plugin or to search for names, but the above seems to be correct.

  I had previously just right-click on a Web page and select "convert to PDF".  Adobe would then load the content and I would like to see a dialogue box to save the file.  It is more the loading in Adobe, and the dialog box is therefore more poping up.  In essence, his sitting there looking at me.

  I tried to work around this problem by using the function on the Welcome screen to "Convert Web page to PDF".  This is where you enter the URL, select the level or the detail etc.  This will open the Adobe content, but when I select Save or save as, he's sitting there.  These selections are not grayed out and seem to be available.

  The feature was fine before and I checked with our IT and they are at a loss.  There were no updates of the system in recent weeks and they are not sure of what is causing the problem.  They have uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice.

  I'm very grateful for any help.  I have read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/308220 and tried the fix listed in: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329345

  Thanks in advance for your time!

  You have the option to menu PDF Maker on the taskbar of the IE. If this isn't the case, you probably have been locked out of PDF Maker by IE. It has probably been updated and see the PDF Maker macro as a virus, and you must activate it. I don't use IE, so I'm not the right way to do it, but that's probably what to look for.

• How do I remove items from menu click Law Office Vista "menu right click Desktop.

  Two different Office except food icon programs added that their shortcuts on my desktop Vista right-click menu.  I want to delete the shortcuts of the program, I like the least from the Vista desktop right-click menu.  I can't do it by uninstalling the program because I don't know which program is responsible for the shortcuts that I want to delete.

• Right-click Office

  I'm not able to access infromation properties to change the settings for the desktop by right-clicking on the desktop.  The box, but when I click Properties, the computer freezes and must be turned off manually.  I recently had a new hard drive installed and the machine was working fine til a wek ago.

  What is the solution?

  As far as I know, a 'USB key' is a security device generally used under the security log for a network of business or other secure system.  It shouldn't have anything to do with your screen.

  What happens if you open Control Panel and double-click "display"?

  What is the name of your graphics card?  Depending on your number of Service from Dell, you have an ATI Radeon X 300 SE.

  Double-click the name of the adapter to open its properties and report:

  • What is the area of "State of the device.
  • What is there under "use of the device.
  • What is the provider, the date and the version of the driver (on the tab 'Pilot')?

  Assuming that you have an ATI Radeon X 300, you can download your driver here.  Version 8.23 - 060209 a 1 - 030546C, A05 dated 14/03/2006.  If you need to install it, read the installation instructions.
