    Gracias!

    It's not really a way to do that, I'm sorry to say.  At least no way built in and not by any software I've seen.  Although I'm not really sure there is no technical limitation if someone wanted to do it.

    I actually usually use the keyboard just to avoid such accidents.  If I want to enlarge or shrink a program, I'm going to press the Windows Logo and the top or down arrows rather than click, so that I don't hit that X.  :)

    I use windows 8, now my problem is that I have to enter a user_name and password each time you start the browser, if you close the browser, or open another browser, you must enter user password again once you use a wifi or lab computers. Now when I connect to wifi, my browser instantly request name username-password but windows update is not so. I tried this a few times, only once named windows update displays dialong box asking username and password and it takes hours to do.

  • How can I configure Windows 8 to remember my wireless keys?

    How can I configure Windows 8 to remember my wireless keys?  I have 4 SSID in my house, and whenever I connect to either of these wireless networks I re - enter the wireless key, even if I have already connected to it several times before.  Windows 7 remembers them as do Apple products.  It's really annoying.  (Please do not recommend 3rd party stupid WiFi8 app - it is undesirable)

    Yes, I meant Windows Defender, I apologize.

    I solved my problem by taking the direction of the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi connection utility WiFi card. I have the system configured to allow the Intel tools manage the WiFi, but Intel for some reason any would forget that he had the credentials. When I put management back to Windows 8, the problems disappeared.

  • How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    How can I get Windows 7 Pro 32 bit automatically connect to drives mapped to the startup?

    Hello

    It should connect as much as the other computers with their car are on the account users are properly configured, security passwords are defined and firewall do not block.

    If the system is only yours and there is no need of local network security, enable the guest account on all computers, give them all the permissions and there will be less to worry about connection mapped, but local drive without security.

    PS Ce preceding is based on cable connections. If the connections are wireless, it's another story.

    Due to the maturity of the wireless adapter and their support through the OS, automatic connection could not occur.

    Wireless is great, but most of us try to sneak out of it the uses it was not designed for.

  • How can I configure Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files?

    Overview of basic

    I have this work very well to my laptop at home, but I need this working for school projects.

    Whenever I want to open a SWF file at home, I just double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problem!

    However, when I'm at school I have to run in Internet Explorer, the file SWF, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are opened directly, they are opened in Internet Explorer.

    At home

    If I right click on a SWF file at home and select 'Open with', and then "choose default program...". ", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", so I can select the default value. (On my laptop at home)

    At the school

    In school, so go to "Open with", then "choose default program... ", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and other programs in the box of other programs. (On my laptop to school)

    Question

    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files (on my laptop to school)? If I select "Browse...". "and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", is the file for the program located somewhere else, or I'm just not properly looked into the record?

    I really need these files open in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know that you can set the view to 100% and do it properly sized)

    Thanks to all who help!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know, that I need not write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on and not a standalone player.  So what in fact opens when you open a SWF file at home?  Flash Player projector?

    If so, you must also download in your school, to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then make the file association.
