How can I configure my computer to the simple click with the mouse to double-click to open an item on the desktop instead
Hi placebow,
Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. On the general tab, click single-click to open an item. (To return to the standard click, click double-click to open an item.)
The setting applies not only at the office, but also in other areas of the shell.

My adobe account is configured to publish on an existing iPad app. I am trying to create an Android app, but some of the features of our iPad-designed problems do not work on various Android tablets. So I've created specific to Android folios that eliminate these features. These slips are the same dimensions as the iPad folios, however, Android applications, I create recognizes that all published as downloadable folios on this tablet (designed by iPad or Android-designed). That I don't want.
Is there a way to specify which will publish the folios of what version of the app? My research shows that I needed to create a whole new folio size and specify the size when creating my controls rendering app and setting. But of course, to do this, 'you must publish at least a folio [in size] for [this size] may appear in the context menu.» (From the page on the configuration of the refunds, a limitation which seems counterintuitive and, well, stupid).
Thoughts?
In this case, where the sheets are the same size, you must create a separate account of publication and publish Android folios to this account. Point the viewer Android on the new account, rather than on behalf of your iPad.
"Renditions" will not help you because they depend on the size of the pixels, and you are publishing the folios of the same size for iOS and Android.

Column of Outlook Express folder in find
When Outlook Express 6 detects emails from a name in the right column indicates the folder in which it is in. How can you tell which folder this folder is located in?OE does not have the capacity to tell you where the folder is located in the folder hierarchy. You can select different trees under local folders to find what subfolder is and what kind of tree it is under. Unless folders.dbx is corrupted (which happens a bit), then OE will not create folders for you. If folders.dbx is corrupt or not, I would suggest that you backup the files and the registry (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) before things become corrupt, because you seem to have a complex organization from your e-mail folders.

How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?
I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.
Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer
I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.
(1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?
(2) what happens if I would have said yes?
(3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.
All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?
A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7. I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version. From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7. I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade. I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing. How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?
