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.

I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

  • How can I stop Windows 7, showing all the user once a user disconnects

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    I went to the Start button. All programs | Accessories | Run, and ran the following command...

    controluserpasswords2

    ... Running this command opens the "User accounts" window, on which I unchecked the option for "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".  Then, I chose a particular user that I had named "Auto-connect" and entered the password of this user so that this user 'AutoLogon' could be connected automatically on every time the PC boots.  This is how I want to just it.

    The "Automatic logon" user has limited privileges, I want my users to be able to and sign out and then sign in as a user with higher privileges.  Currently, when I try to do it by clicking the Start button, and then selecting Shutdown | Logoff, this brings me to the kind of a "Welcome screen" that displays a a separate icon for each user name which I configured on this PC.

    I really prefer if instead of indicating the name of each user configured at this point, that Windows would require the user to type in here a user name valid (rather than just picking from the list).

    If someone can tell me if this is possible (without giving up the ability to automatically connect my 'Automatic login' user), I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Run the policy editor gpedit.msc, then look for the item "Interactive logon". Now, select the item "do not display last user name."

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

    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.

  • 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).
