• Is it possible to close all open easily programs?

  original title: IS THERE A SHORT CUT 2 CLOSE all OPEN FILES? __

  MY COMPUTOR SAYS THAT I NEED TO CLOSE ALL OPEN FILES AS IM OUT OF MEMORY...

  IS THERE A SHORTCUT TO DO THIS OR CAN SOMEONE HELP ME AS IM NEW TO A PAOLO THANX.

  I'm not aware of a shortcut 'universal' to close all open files, but check out a few ideas below:

  • If the files that you want to close are part of the same program (Word, or folders, files etc), they will be grouped in the taskbar. You can right click on the taskbar icon, and then selectclose all Windows.
  • I found that the CTRL + W is very convenient to close open tabs or even some windows such as Windows Explorer Windows, as well as the traditional ALT + F4 shortcut. In some applications (for example, Visual Studio), then CTRL + F4 closed a file opened without leaving the application.  When I have a lot of things to close, I use these soldiers to accomplish the task more quickly.
  • If minimize all work instead to close all windows, you can try the Windows key + "D".

  While you are using any application, you can simply drag the application to the top of the screen then he come to the window full-screen. In addition, you can also press WIN + up key to maximize the current window.

• Impossible to compile CHM - Message says to close all the Windows HTML help

  TCS 1.3 running with the latest patches.

  Single source project - out using HTML (.chm).

  When I try to compile, I get the following message is displayed:

  "Cannot create compiled file. It can be opened in another window. Please close all Windows HTML Help and try again. »

  I don't have any HTML Help windows open. Closing of HR and restart do not solve the problem. I have to shut down the computer, which is a serious concern, before I can compile again. I do not work in a network directory, which may be the cause, but I would like to know if there is a process that I can kill for Windows Task Manager that would allow me to compile without having to restart my computer. I don't see any process that identifies itself as something that I can kill for this problem.

  Anyone?

  Hello

  This message normally you launched the. CHM file you are trying to create. The first step in the process is to destroy the existing. CHM in preparation for the construction of a new. Just as you must destroy a House on a lot where you want to create a new.

  If your. CHM is on a network drive, another user may be subject to open. (yet another good reason to work locally)

  If your. CHM is on your local drive, RoboHelp believes that you have opened. If you press Alt + Tab, you see a blue arrow pointing upwards. Which indicates the CHM file running.

• Can't see taskbar, except if I close all the windows, but hide automatically is not checked - how to fix this?

  It happened all of a sudden during a browsing session. Also, I do not see the albums "open windows" list unless I have point to him. "Auto-hide taskbar" is not checked. I tried to stop and do a restart, but nothing has changed. The two bars are always top in IE but not in Firefox more. It is very annoying. I would like to know how to solve this problem, and also how it could have happened, so I don't do it again! Thanks in advance.

  Firefox is stuck in mode full screen? The F11 function key switches between regular views and full screen modes.

  Firefox window is an irrational dimension in normal mode, it can indicate a corruption of the file that stores the information of location/size of window. The usual medicine is to rename this file and let Firefox restart by using the default dimensions. Here's how:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  As this process goes probably most toolbars, you can use one of the following methods to display the toolbar list and activate the desired bars it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

• Thunderbird updated and closes all open tabs.

  I often keep an e-mail tab opened as a reminder until I Act on it. Sometimes I'll have 10 or so tabs open at the same time.
  Yesterday, I left the House for several hours, leaving my computer. When I got home, the Thunderbird and Firefox have been closed. They are open, when I left.
  When I open Thunderbird, all my open tabs were closed. I have no idea what they were and I could not find any list of recently closed tabs, so I could resume. I can only assume that an update took place in my absence and this is what has been charged to close Thunderbird.
  This used to happen with Firefox, sometimes after a update but you seem to have fixed that. Please correct Thunderbird so that it never closes tabs open.
  Thank you
  Bill

  Bottom line is direct of tabs in a file called session.json. All sorts of personal information and the tools of type 'acceleration' remove this information caching. One of the really popular is CCleaner. In the case of Firefox, they have an additional backups they can restore from, but it's only a matter of time before these same tools. but in the case of Thunderbird feature is somewhat reduced. Manly, I think because nobody at the time thought people came to rely on the tabs. In the underlying code, the tabs are messy and really large parts of 'vision' expect more attention. Thunderbird actually has only one and the rest is smoke and mirrors where my questions specific re long-term reliability. Dial in a tab can see more work on the part of the tab of the interface to make it more robust.

  Having said that I had problems with Firefox in the very recent past, but I also run nightly compilations expect so most people never see questions. (Testing takes many forms.)

  Make your own backup of the session.json file is a workaround if you feel strongly enough, but personally I think that saved search folders and tags are an arrangement much better that most IMAP servers come with your tags appear on other devices as well.

  My opinion is.
  Mail tag as ' to do '.
  Open find Ctrl + Shift + F
  criteria a search, for tags contains ' to ' set the folder and subfolder to find
  Click on search to make sure that your criteria works, and then click on save in the search folder.
  Thunderbird now has a new record that contains only your mails containing the tag "to do." Search folders are a uses significantly less characteristic (probably because no one knows they exist), but they do a lot of business functions much easier. (they are what underlies the folder "unified" view {view menu > folders > unified} a collection of search folders.)

• shake a window closes all other windows. Boring

  Hey, every time I move a window and maybe I'm just tinkering and I move the mouse fast (shake the window) all current windows up to restrict to the minimum. It is simply annoying. We already have a button at the bottom right and 'windows + D' for this. is it possible to turn it off.

  Thanks George

  Hi George9012,

  It's called Aero shake. To disable it, you must change the registry. Don't worry I will explain step by step. Here are the instructions:

  Added by the Moderator:

  Warning: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using the registry editor or by using another method. These problems may require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. See How to back up the registry

  1. type regedit into the search box of the start menu. Right click and choose "Run as Administrator"

  2. navigate to:

  Hkey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

  3. create a new key explore under key of Windows so that the new path:

  Hkey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

  * Note: Create the key by right click and select 'New' and 'key '. Enter "Explorer".

  4. now select key 'Explorer' and in the right pane, create a new DWORD value

  'NoWindowMinimizingShortcuts' and set its value to 1

  * Note: Create the DWORD value by right clicking and selecting new and the "DWORD value (32 bit).

  5 restart or log off and turn it back on to disable Aero shake

  * Remember that regedit is not case-sensitive, and make sure you do not change any other registry settings in the registry.

• Start/task bar freezes, but can still work on all open windows? : S

  Hello and thank you if you took the time to read this.

  I'm on Vista x 64

  I'll start by when I turn on my pc.  (and an example of what is happening)

  Turn on > enter password > windows start > if I leave my computer for a few moments without start all programs, the start bar will freeze after about 5 minutes.

  I am then unable to open all programs, if I try Ctrl + Alt + Delete I try to start the Task Manager, but it's too frozen and I can't terminate any process.

  The only thing I can do is Ctrl + Alt + Del again and shut down my computer.

  (is where it gets more weird)

  If I start my pc > fill in password > open some programs quickly before the start bar freezes (because he ends up by themselves) then the start bar freezes after a short period (1 min) (for example) Firefox/Chrome open, Photoshop, E-mail, etc. open, I am able to use all these programs, unless I have close or minimize the window for them , making it impossible to get again (even if they are still running as a process)

  If I try to Alt + Tab the real Vista Alt + animation tab that opens in the middle of the screen sits there frozen too impossible to close or change the program.

  To add to the strangeness >

  I then press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click CLOSE in the lower right, when I do this the ' the following documents are still open you want to save before windows shuts etc etc etc...'   So I click Cancel instead of "Force Shut down" and everything will come back to working perfectly!

  I'm confused and have no idea of what I should...

  I'm guessing a repair would be useful, but there may be something im missing

  Thank you for reading if you have any help much appreciated!

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• How to close the open window by Exec VI system automatically?

  Hello

  I use the Exec VI system to launch an exe that is built from a LabVIEW program. Operational system Exec VI, the window out of file exe and stays there even after all the tasks are completed.

  Thank you

  If I understand the question you add a node to call at the end of your application to exit. As it runs as a stand-alone application or in LabVIEW there will be out or stop the execution. I have attached the VI that I use in my applications.
