How can I disable the song or video preview by hovering the mouse in Windows Explorer?

I have "Automatically opening of songs to the overview of track title" disabled in the library in Windows Media Player 12 tab, however, when I use explore and have my mouse pointing to a video or audio, Windows 7 automatically plays the file in a preview window. How can I disable this feature?

Here is a picture to illustrate the problem I have: http://oi47.tinypic.com/2u43b00.jpg

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

    The cushion is a nuisance especially when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I prefer to use a mouse.

    The 'quick and dirty' would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough no pickup "taps" or "gestures". A card cut to tight should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of sheet glued together and cut to tight in the trackpad to open (a corner cut so I can remove it when I have to use the trackpad). I did back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and now do it with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; If I don't have the mouse with me (or the battery is dead - mouse USB wireless) I just remove the "cap" cardboard if I can use the trackpad.

    In addition, check with a Windows 7 support forum to find out how to disable this "device". This isn't really a problem of Firefox support.

  • How can I disable the firewall of windows for FPGA

    I tried to compile an FPGA vi. Towards the end of compilation, asked me if I wanted to disable something in the windows firewall (probably to allow for communication between my computer and my PXI-7854R). At the time, I had no administrative privilege and couldn't do anything but cancel this request. Of course, nothing that I compiles now runs. How to get back to the point where I can disable the firewall?

    A picture of the error message is attached.

  • How can I disable the Mouse / touchpad - Lenovo, laptop XP pro SP3

    I want to disable the touchpad on a laptop Lenovo G530 with XP pro, SP3. 
    I always use a USB wireless mouse, but while I'm away from striking, the touchpad gets moved or dragged - send me to places that I don't want to be.

    I tried the mouse settings in the properties panel of design, uninstall the drivers of synoptic and software Manager (they have just reinstall at startup).

    I tried how hard (as usual). Please can someone tell me the simple way?  Thank you

    If you have the correct driver installed, Fn + F6 must disable the touchpad.

  • How can I clear the history in Windows Explorer at the same time?

    Hi all

    If I right click on the Windows Explorer icon in the task bar, I see a history of the issues explored. How can I clear this list both? The only way I see is to remove each one folder at a time where I started but quickly realized that it would take a lot of time.

    These records listed are part of the jump list for Windows explore.  Right-click on the Start button & select Properties, and then select Customize.

    At the bottom of the dialog box, set the number of recent items to display in jump lists to 0.  This will affect all the other lists of shortcuts as well.

  • How can I reset the settings in Windows Explorer?

    In Windows Explorer, I found a strange behaviour. Double click on a folder in the right pane, under "Name" opens a new window, but it is the search engine. To change this, I clicked Tools - Folder Options - File Types and found 2 symbols of file with Extensions (NONE). Called him "File Folder", the other was called "folder". Looking for their settings by clicking Advanced, I found 'find' to the file and 'explorer' and 'open' sub-folder.

    I edited the file file Type by adding 'Explorer' and 'open' and put ' exploration ' by default which is in bold it.

    The first syptom disappeared and no window of 'research' more open unexpectedly, but the new window opens in a new window instead of the same window. It made no difference by changing the setting in Tools - Folder Options - general - browse folders: open each folder in the same window/open each folder in a window own tis.

    Also, I couldn't explore to memorize the settings of my privileged point of view: details. It is always default to tiles.

    Hello

    Have you tried to Folder Options > view > reset records? It is the button in the top right.

    You can change these views by changing the settings of view Windows Explorer.

    Click on view and then add the status bar and change the display option for the icons (I like to use the details).

    But sometimes these settings will return to default. Even if you click on apply to all folders, settings may return by default.

    One thing you can try is to set your favorite view, then instead of closing the window using the X in the upper right corner, close it via the file menu. This is known to keep the settings in place for some time.

    Another solution to the problem is to reset the point of view of folder.

    To do the following:

    1. start the registry (Regedit.exe) editor.

    2. look for the following key in the registry:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU

    and

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags

    3. make sure that you back up the key by exporting them to a .reg file.

    4 remove the keys. You've just turned XP out-of-the-box settings.

    5. close the registry editor.

    6. restart your computer.

    7 customize your folder view.

    8. now the new views of folder must remain in place.

  • How can I refresh the thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

    In Windows 7, Windows Explorer tries to display the contents of the subfolders under icon. It is a great way to see what is in multiple folders at the same time.

    However, when I create a new folder, it is assigned to the default folder icon - and I find no way of refreshing it once I added some content in the folder.

    Here is a screencap of some of my music files - highlighted that now contained in it, but I can't make it look like the records around her:

    In Windows XP, you could do this by right-clicking on the icon and choosing "Refresh thumbnail" in the context menu. This is not an available option in Windows 7, at least that I see.

    Any input greatly appreciated!

    Hmmm...
    Do you already run cleaning Manager and delete the cache of thumbnails?

    Cleanmgr %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe/c /sageset:65535 & /sagerun:65535 Cleanmgr

    paste it into the run window. VP Tech Services

  • How can I disable the 'Open with' window that appears whenever I start?

    My desktop pc using Windows 7 Home Premium. For years, I want to start with nothing default opening. Each time, the choice of what to open were made manually by me.

    For some reason that I don't understand, one day after start-up, this 'Open with' window appears. Under "Choose the program you want to use to open this file," the indicated file was my name. (I replaced the one here with the word "Me.")

    I never asked this window will open after startup. It appeared for the first time without having done me anything. I do not think that I have all the files with my first name only, so I closed the window and ignored.

    But the window open whenever I start. Don't need or want to be, I keep closing and ignore him.

    Soon, not one, but two of the pop-up appeared. Then THREE.

    For several years, the three windows double as above appeared whenever I start.

    Don't know how or why it began. Don't know which program is causing it. Don't know how to stop it.

    Anyone recognize this window? Do you know which program is causing it to appear after startup? Do you know how to disable? Is there a trick to disable three of them?

    (1) is the window 'Open with' above now a default pop-up window after startup that cannot be disabled without the registry editor?

    No, the "open with" isn't a local default value.  You see it because something - probably malware - tried to configure your computer to start a process at startup time.  Windows, however, does not recognize the name of the process (i.e. the file name) as an executable program so it asks you to specify which program to use to open the file.

    No, you don't need to manually edit the registry to resolve this problem.

    (2) there is no program in Control Panel I can open that has a simple toggle to turn it on or off?

    No, there is no program in Control Panel you can use to solve this problem.

    Here's how fix you the problem.

    A. the easy way (doesn't unless you are very lucky)

    • Click the start ORB, all programs and then scroll down until you find "Startup" and click on it.
    • If you see that anything that gets filed that you do not want to start when you log on to "Start", right click and delete.
    • If you do not know what the items listed and are reluctant to delete something you don't understand not (a very good policy to follow), list all the elements in your next reply and someone here will try to advise you.

    B. the way a little harder (that almost always works)

    • Download here Autoruns.zip (this course is that you download from a Microsoft web site)--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    • Right-click on the downloaded file and select "extract all".
    • Go to the folder where the extracted files are located (this should have been opened for you by default), and then double-click on autoruns.exe
    • Wait until the program has finished scanning (look at the bottom left corner) and then select the 'connection '.
    • Look in the column titled 'Image path' for a line that includes whatever it is that appeared as the 'file' in the original pop-up window.
    • If you find a line with the same name in there, uncheck the box at the left end of the line, close Autoruns and restart your computer.
      • If the ToolTip no longer displayed, you can (a) do nothing do or Autoruns (b) re - run, find the line you're not controlled and right click > delete it.
    • If you cannot find a line with the name you're looking for...
      • Click on the "all" tab
      • Click file, and then click search, then enter the name and click "next".
        1. If a line is found, right click and select 'copy '.
        2. Paste the line in your next reply here
        3. Press F3 to find the next instance and repeat steps 1 and 2 until no more bodies are found (if there are several rows, you can open a Notepad window and paste the lines temporarily here)
        4. If you are reluctant to publish anything with your name in it, change the lines to replace your name

    Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

    FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

    The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

    Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

    And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.
