  • How to add a new program to the list of default programs available

    I need to know how to add the Adobe Acrobat program, that I just installed on my laptop in my default directory because when I go to default programs in Control Panel, it is not in the list of available programs.  It is not a problem of computer in danger, but it is really annoying to not be able to double-click on a data file to open it in the appropriate program.  I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

    If the program is not listed, you can force it is always the default value using a file that is used.

    Since it's Adobe Acrobat, here is how to do it.

    1. Do right click any Adobe PDF file and choose Open with, choose the default program, and then search for and select the program Adobe Acrobat is the default value.
    2. It is not really a step 2, but at this stage, that the selection will be used whenever you double-click on a PDF file.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

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

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  • How to remove a shortcut with the command line?

    How to remove a shortcut with the command line?

    How to make a backup of the local users and groups with command line?

    You delete a shortcut, just as you would remove any other file.  A shortcut will end with the extension ".lnk".  So assuming you are trying to remove the shortcut named "Shortcut.lnk" which appears to the user 'Bob's Office, you use the button Delete (del) or 'clear' command by specifying the full path to the file.  (Remember to put filename in quotes if there is a space anywhere in the path or name) as in:

    del "C:\documents and settings\Bob\Desktop\Shortcut.lnk".

    What kind of a backup 'users and groups' you want to do?  If there is a backup of the users and groups as written in the registry, a good registry as C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT backup program that will make the command line.  If you are trying to backup all users and their data as well, then you are better off with a backup program.

    Easiest is to copy the files with a USB key, but the most elegant (IMHO) is across the network. Just join each machine to your homegroup, and you can copy back.

  • How ID programs & application developers and the purpose of programs on the list of Windows programs - Windows 7

    I use Windows 7 on a 21 iMac machine.  I use an Apple software "Bootcamp", dividing the HD 500 GB between the OSX and Windows 7 operating system. I want to edit/purge my software and apps, so I'm going to Windows programs and this is the problem I have. If I down - loaded the program and I do not have the installation CD Rom disc, I can't determine from the Windows programs list exactly what programs are for icons and minimal description in the list of Windows programs.  I don't remember what it is that some of them do, but God knows my computer don't you, and if I delete something I shouldn't remove, I'll have a sick computer or worse!  All I get are, for the most part are '... you want to uninstall this program?  But of course I didn't not without knowing what the heck I'm going to do to my
    computer. The program, the file name, extensions and the icons are really confusing and for a layman, incomprehensible.  It seems the developers
    programs do business using trade or brand names that so little has nothing to do with the function or purpose programs.  Windows updates are not the worst, but they are at the top of the list.  I have faithfully and automatically download all Windows updates. Why. like Mickey?  I have no idea, but I trust MS (in general) to do the right thing by me and not screw up my Windows 7 operating system.  What I have to download anything that comes my way?  Probably not, but if it comes from MS or big players, I trust, MS and Adobe, Corel, etc., enough for to update, but
    If I want to stream line my programs and get rid of the ball and keep only the wheat, I need to know what I got for free or paying over the years.

    Suggestions are requested if all goes well and will be read carefully, even followed, if keep you it simple.  Thank you!

    Oh and by the way, never uninstall updates that is sent to you via Windows updates.  As you think, Microsoft publishes these updates for specific reasons and they should never be uninstalled.

    How can I sync lightning with the iphone calendar? I saw online that I need to use a google calendar? I added google calendar as they described, but I have no idea where from here

    To synchronize with the iPhone (also known as iCalendar) schedule you must use a calendar based on a cloud.
