    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

  • How can I get the right website to download?

    I have 2 copies of the same site, and one put to evil.  I made the site in Dreamweaver CS5 and I use a Mac computer.

    When you try to upload my site that looked just great in Dreamweaver, preview in browsers.  Major changes had been made, and I decided that I do them on my local machine and take off the server of the 'old site '.  When is about to FTP I remembered that when you talk to my host support team before downloading a site, and they had to move different places on my computer.  One place, they told me to put it was 'Sites '.  So, I decided to put it there.  Something happened that the sidebar with links to the pages disappear.  (the background was not the sidebar and the links were under menu, to the place where they were supposed to be.  I think it had something to do with the file in front of her had not been included when it has been moved and there was something missing on the model.  In any case, it is not found in its original form, but fortunately a copy had been made in the right site.  So, I just got the USB stick with the good copy and put it on my desk.  So this should be easy right?  FTP only this right?  HA!

    When I talked to my support to my host, they said the site could be just FTPed to my office.  Well, I got the FTP to work and uploaded to the site, but apparently he did the wrong website.  (that messed up) upward.

    This is what my local site folder:

    / / User name that I gave the small peak of House on my Desktop/Mac/directory /.

    I think that is where the rub as this is the download site for the 'Sites' instead of the desktop computer.

    So I think I want something else than name/User/Name I gave the small peak of House on my Mac but what would it be?  I think I'm downloading from the wrong office.  (The Office, I see when I put my computer on against the Office of the 'Site', they are apparently 2 different places).

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Open your site definition in DW - Site > Manage Sites...

    Confirm that your site definition is correctly pointing to your desired local site folder and not an older one.

    Also, confirm that the server log - in credentials are correct and the server remote root directory is defined as prescribed by your hosting provider.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

    How can I get my screen to stop jumping?

    Hello

    If a PC make sure the monitor cable is tight on both ends.

    Start in SafeMode pressing repeatedly F8 repeatedly as you start - Panel configuration-Device Manager - view
    adapter - do a right-click - UNINSTALL - reboot the computer.

    If no joy they return to Mode safe mode with network and go to the Site of the manufacturer of the system (or the)
    the video device manufacturer's site) and look for new drivers (if no new re - install ones you
    now) - compare the versions tab of device - graphics - driver available card Manager.
    TIP - the system of sites of the manufacturer or the manufacturer of the device does not use their scanner - check manually
    for all drivers to ensure that you get the latest version.

    If not joy, then, you need the help of a real computer (no leeks and peeps store at a Best Buy or any other
    Department stores) or the system manufacturer's support (also ask in their forums, if it is for known issues) and
    Check-in with support of the device manufacturer and forums as needed.

    I hope this helps.
