• How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

• How can I stop Windows Live Messenger issuing alerts every minutes, hours and days of the year? I don't use it.

  I do not use Windows Live Messenger, but he insists on the display of alerts telling me to connect. Why it does this and how can I stop without causing problems in other areas? I know nothing about it except that the people who try to contact me (I guess) can do it without going through channels such as email or telephone.

  I assume you have Windows Live Messenger, because you have installed the Windows Live Essentials.
  If so, a brief explanation...
  Windows Live Essentials includes some programs that can be installed or NOT, must be installed. You can choose whoever you want.

  Now, you have 2 options...

  1. you can disable. He will remain in the system but inactive.

  2. you can purely and simply uninstall it, and it will be out of the system.

  Open MSN Messenger > at the top, click on tools > click Options > column to the left, click on Sign In > straight column, uncheck all boxes > click OK done wnhen.

  RE: Uninstall Messenger

  Start button > in the search box, type programs and features > press the Enter key. Scroll down to Windows Live Essentials > right click it > click on uninstall...

• How can I stop Windows XP open My Documents on startuo?

  Hello

  I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro and after installation of SP2 evert time I start Windows automatically open My Documents.

  How can I stop this?

  Thank you.

  You have a false entry in one of your startup locations.

  First, click Start > all programs > startup and see if there is an entry that would open up My Documents.

  If you can't find the entry in the startup folder, download and run Autoruns.  Let it complete the scan (shown bottom left), then click the 'connection '.  Look at the entries and the beginning my Documents should be obvious.  Remove the line or uncheck the box at the beginning of the line (if you think you might ever want to reactivate this entry).

• How can I stop Windows 7 open several instances of a .txt file in Notepad?

  If accidentally, I try to open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, I want Windows 7 to remember that another instance is already open.

  It was, in Windows XP, whenever you tried to accidentally open a second instance of a .txt file in Notepad, you would get a message that will tell you that another instance was already open. However, it seems that in Windows 7, you can have multiple instances of the same .txt file open in Notepad (without getting any notification). It is confusing because I tend to make changes to one of these instances given, and when I save one of these cases, I eventually overwrite the changes on other instances.

   
  How can I stop this from happening? I can't turn on a pop-up message in Windows 7 that reminds me that another instance is open? Can I change a setting in my Notepad file to prohibit the opening of multiple instances?
   

  Hello

  
  Opening of multiple instances of the same file in Notepad is by design.

  On the login screen when messenger starts first, click Help on the right with the (?) and in the menu on the button, put a check mark next to "show the menu bar.
  OK - now you can access the menus at the top of the window. Go to tools-> Options.
  In the window that appears, click "sign in" on the list on the left and uncheck the box to the top right ("automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on Windows ')

• How can I stop Windows Messenger from starting automatically

  I have never used Windows Messenger.  I recently bought / implement a system refurbished with XP Home - after about a month of use, the Herald began popping up automatically whenever I start the machine, or when I open Outlook Express (and immediately requires a screen name access code (whenever it starts, even if I gave him once to satisfy) (, so I have two things to cancel).

  As I say, he began to do this by himself without conscious action on my part, a few weeks after the introduction of the machine. I had an older XP machine for 6 years and never seen it happen.

  Two questions: 1) is this a normal behavior to require a name to screen EACH time it starts? I would have thought that it would save one associated with the connection.

  (2) how can I do to stop the automatic aperture? I don't necessarily want to kill-I can actually try to use it someday. I just that it quietly hide in the system tray, as it has always done before.

  To stop the Messenger to start with Windows:

  (1) right-click on the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray.
  2) click Open.
  (3) in Windows Messenger, click on tools, then click Options.
  4) click the Preferences tab.
  (5) in the preferences, uncheck the "run Windows Messenger when Windows starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background", and then click Ok.

  To prevent Outlook Express from loading Messenger

  (1) open Outlook Express
  2) click Tools, Options
  3) click on general tab
  (4) uncheck the box to automatically log on to Windows Messenger
  5) click OK Microsoft Security MVP, 2004-2009

  Thank you

  Hello eduardohuarcaya jose Dominguez.

  Unfortunately, in Windows 7 you can not stop computer when you close the program. However, you can use Task Scheduler to work around your needs. You can schedule a task to trigger an action to shut down the computer. However, this will be based on the time corresponding to the program.

• How can I stop Windows 8 Start menu from popping up when I drag my mouse around using my touchpad?

  On my new laptop, whenever I try to go on the left side of my screen on the right side by sliding my finger on the touchpad, the start menu appears. How can I disable this?

  Hi friend

  Welcome to the Microsoft community,

  I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function.  The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".

  This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.
  hope this helps!
  Tell me when you read this all & if the problem will still be there, then I'll help you.
  Thank you.
