• Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

  Original title: Cannot change the file properties

  Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
  I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
  The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

  I already have
  -taking possession of the object
  -allows full control for all users
  -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
  -among other...

  I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

  Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

  Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
  Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

  Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
  What Miss me?

  Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

• Cannot change the Google search bar

  In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

  Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

  I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

  'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist

  Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

  Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

  the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

  Restart the computer and empty the trash.

  You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

  Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  ·         You get the error message?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• You cannot change the format of the cursor

  Original title: mouse cursor

  Cannot change the format of the cursor; message says no file found - for example, C:\WINDOWS\Cursors\arrow\_rl.cur

  _rl.cur is not a slider that comes with XP. Nor is the folder named arrow. You must have installed a 3rd slider party system and I guess you are trying to change that.
  Try to reinstall it.

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• "Cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. "

  When you attempt to change the priority of a process in the Task Manager (no matter what process, I've tried a few) I get the error message: cannot change the priority. The operation could not be performed. Access denied. It is while being logged on as an administrator. Would appreciate a solution.

  Since Windows Vista and Windows 7, a logon administrator account always uses a standard or limited account for certain purposes. To access these properties, you can run a program using the "Run as administrator". To run as an administrator, you right-click on a program and select "Run as Administrator" in the right click menu.

  Some processes of the system, such as services, you cannot change even as an administrator.  Come on in "show processes from the user all the" which will ask for permission. Then reopen the task Administrator Manager and then see if you can change the priority.
