How can I change my public network location at in Win7?
On my server I am running Win 7 Pro 64 - bit (SP1) with an Ethernet cable to my router.
I have several other network devices in my network, including wired and wireless, Win 7 PCs, PC Win XP and other facilities such as the backup network and media center. I have problems with devices see each other (in particular my server) and the sharing of resources (files and printing).
On my server, I am able to connect to the internet via my wired connection. However, in the "network and sharing Center" under active networks I see "You are currently not connected to all the networks." The link "Connect to a network" shows that I have no networks to connect to. When I try to connect to my home group or create a homegroup, I said "To create or join a homegroup, network location of your computer must be on home." Mine is set to public and I can't change it to make this change requires me to click on the home/work/Public icon/link in my active network and I don't have any network active (or inactive). There is therefore no link to allow me to access the dialog box 'change the network location '.
I tried (no problem found) network outages and homegroup troubleshooting (no problem found).
I did do a Win 7 repair facility to solve configuration problems: I cannot access any network. However, my original drive is an OEM Windows 7 Pro 64 bit without SP1. Now that my machine was on SP1 for about a year, it does not allow me to do a repair installation, and the version on my machine is more recent (PLU) of what is on the installation disc. Also, I considered uninstalling SP1, but which also failed. An error message about missing files. I even tried uninstalling SP1 command-line and which also failed.
What can I do to solve this problem before a thorough cleaning of your disc drive and a clean installation?

UPDATED: February 13, 2015 - finally fixed!
The post on January 28, 2015 by BennyPootron led me to the solution.
In RegEdit, to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles", I deleted all the profiles under the present (I had three).
In addition, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\Unmanaged" were three matching items which I also deleted. This clean slate, so to speak, and when I rebooted, I could change my location of home network and join my home group.
Thanks to BennyPootron for the idea that led to my solution.
I don't know if this applies to Windows 7, but it does not work in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
(1) open 'RegEdit '.
2) go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles".
(3) find the location of the network
(4) change the 'Category' DWORD to 1
If this does not work, remove the key from the network, restart your computer and repeat. It should work after that.
Not exactly the answer, but what led to the solution. FINALLY FIXED! Here's how:
In RegEdit, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles" I had three profiles with names such as {4A3BFF36-4EA6-4415-AA5F-46CE449C95AB}. I tried several things, including changing the DWORD value of the 'Category' 1 item in all three of these profiles. It does NOT work.
However, I have finally deleted all three profiles.
In addition, "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\Unmanaged" were three matching items which I also deleted. This clean slate, so to speak.
IT WORKED!
When I rebooted, I was able to change my network from the Public to the private, and he walked me through the process of joining an existing group established by another computer in our House.
Finally almost 3 years after my original post, I have fixed the problem.
Thanks to BennyPootron for the idea of a solution.

How can I change my default import location permanently in LR 3.5
I'm changing my default import on my MAC Pro Tower location, one of the internal HD I have named the HD Photo place and have created a folder that he called «My Photos Lightroom» I could create this, but seems unable to make my default when I open LR 3.5 ber. I have to go and change it manually. Is it possible that this can be changed to make it my default?
Thank you.
Yes you can.
In the dialog box import on the right side in the
Panel, select . Then select the folder you want to import, and import some images. Normally LR "remembers" this setting, it should be present when you open the import next time dialog box.
But you can also create a "Preset Import". In the import dialog box, choose and select all the parameters you want applied when importing (for example, flags, keywords, develop Presets and file to import in). Then at the bottom of the dialog box import - somehow in the centre - there's a dark bar named 'Import Preset'. Click on the small triangle at the right end of the dark bar and save your settings as a new Preset to import. Every time that you open the import dialog box you can apply all the settings in one click - simply select your Preset import created.

How can I change the default file locations in the dialog box "Save as" in Windows 7 x 64?
I tried all the tips and tricks of WinXP, but they do not seem to work in Win7. Does anyone know how to change the location of the default files for the dialog box "Save as" in Win7?
It seems, in Windows 7, that you cannot change locations by default save as file.
In XP, we could modify the registry or use other methods to change the location of the files that appear on the left margin of the Save as dialog box. But some Morón in Redmond chose to end with good sense and called "libraries."
I really wish Microsoft would stop doing what they think, it's the best for Grandma and little Suzy and give us what expect when we pay for these programs.
