How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive that is displayed in my computer
When I double click the icon my computer on my Seagate external desktop hard drive does not display the correct icon. It displays a blank page with the upper right handed with a superimposed replica of a small screen. I really want to show an icon that looks like the real thing as stated in the icons folder.

How can I change the icon associated with an external hard drive in XP?
I had to reformat etc and when settled dust that I can not put an icon on my external hard drive from seagate 1 t. It's not bad but it drives me crazy because it seems that it does not...
Using Notepad, create a file with the following content
[autorun]
ICON = localpath\iconfileSave the file as autorun.inf (be sure to set "Save as type" in the drop-down list for "All Files" box).
- IconFile is a file with the file extension ico icon.
- LocalPath is the file (or folder and subfolder, etc.), without a drive designation. So, for example, if there is a folder in the root of the named Seagate external drive, and you have an icon named seagate.ico file, the line in your autrorun.inf file would be:
Icon = Seagate\seagate.ico
Note that the square brackets in the first line should be included
The autorun.inf file is usually a hidden, but making it so is yours. -

How can I remove the recovery partition from a corrupt HARD drive that I replaced in a laptop?
I replaced a HDD corrupted in the laptop of a friend and you want to reuse. How can I delete the recovery partition? When I try to use my Windows 7 computer management tool, it will not access? I did a complete player wipe (twice) what the partition is still there and I can't remove it. It's 14 GB of space I want to retrieve and use the HARD drive in another system at a later date.
Thank you
Try the command line option:
Start cmd.exe as an administrator, then inside the window cmd, type
DiskPart
then, type diskpart
list disk
take note of the correct disc ID to clear
type
Select disk x
(where x is the ID of your disk to erase)
type
clean
your HARD drive will be erased completely
or you can try the magic of partition:

or if it does not work:

You must create a bootable CD or USB pen as media.

Change the icons associated with files - it is still possible; It was child's play.
How can I change the icon associated with a file? For example, if I change the default program for an .ini file, the default icon of a page with a gear in the corner becomes a simple page and I'd rather the icon does not change... just the program I use to open the file. In the previous veersions of Windows, if you want to change the icon associated with a file, you could simply enter properties and continue. Please advise on how to adopt this change of WinVista Home Premium.
It is not easy and involves editing the registry (this is far from as easy it was XP, that's why you're having trouble). Here is the procedure: http://www.webtlk.com/2009/03/20/how-to-change-the-icon-assiciated-with-a-file-in-windows-vista-and-windows-7/. I recommend before starting that you back up your registry database just to be safe. Here's how: http://www.adamsdvds.co.uk/tutorials/vista/regedit/backup.php.
I hope this helps.

How can I change the page size of a pdf document so that I can check on my iphone more clearly?
This is way beyond what can be done with PDF, except by copying the text and make a new document in Word or something.
That said, Adobe Reader on Windows may display the text AS IF the PDF file has been divided. It's the text reformatting. It may be possible in Reader for iPhone, you can try the player for ios forum.

How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive
How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?
TIA
Hi Benyl,
The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.
To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.
Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.
Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive
I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP. The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk. So I can't get my new hardware to run. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?
Hello Honduras1,
Can you simply right-click and format everything first? The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.
See you soon

Classic restoration changed by FF 29 tabs beige with black text on the tab active and beige with white text on other open tabs. The white text is not visible. How can I change the text in white with a darker color?
If this cannot be done, is there a way to reinstall FF 29 with just the security updates (and not all the other stuff) so that I can keep my 28 FF settings? Thank you.- Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
- Beside the classical restaurant theme, click on the Options button.
- Click the custom colors tab, then the less than (active/hover/default) tab.
- Below (active) tab, check 'Text', then click on the color swatch and choose black.
- Click the tab (unread) / new tab.
- (Unread) tab, check 'Text', then click on the color swatch and choose black.

How can I change the data stored with JDeveloper Java classes?
Hello!
First of all, I am experienced PL/SQL coder, but I'm quite beginner what comes to Java.
JDeveloper is also a new tool for me and the reason why I am interested, it's the good Java Editor.
With the good Java editor I can create classes and store them in the Oracle database and executing those inside PL/SQL code.
I am currently faced with a minor problem, and I'm not able to find the answer to this:
How can I change/edit/create stored with JDeveloper, Java classes to database (Toad for Oracle can do but it's not good editor Java)?
I can navigate to Java classes with database browser, but I can't change those. Just view and drop it.

Thanks to all helpers!

Published by: user10385021 on 2.6.2009 03:56JDeveloper is not a direct modification of the classes inside the database. Instead, you must change your java classes locally (including the management of versions, unit tests etc.) and then load them into the database. Load in the datab ase could be done using the Loadjava and the deployment profile stored procedure Java (file-> New-> General-> profiles of deployment-> Loadjava and Java Stored Procedures). I think it's even better let your build tool do the work. An example of task of Ant describing this is shown at http://davidmoten.blogspot.com/2007/11/oracle-loadjava-ant-task.html (I have not tried this, but have used a similar approach in a project)
