  • "How can I turn OFF the ' don't publish pictures previously uploaded ' function?

    I downloaded pictures from my camera to my computer and accidentally deleted photos from the folder.  Also emptied the Recycle Bin - photos gone.  Tried to download again from the camera and get an error message "no new pictures or videos not found on this device."  "How can I turn OFF the ' don't publish pictures previously uploaded ' function?

    Help!  I need to download these pictures again.

    It is easy to add a new user account. Go in Control Panel - user accounts - add or remove some... you will see your main account and beneath the box 'create a new ac' - you want to choose administrator rather standard - give it a name 'Second Ac' or similar - add if desired password - choose picture etc, and you go! Maybe it's that the new account will also allow you to download the photos that will not the other account. If not you can simply copy them to the main account then giving yourself (Administrator) access authorization of the second account. This goes for computer-OS (C) - users (see figure below) and by opening your second account folder.

    (The "guest" account is an account of alternative rapid implementation you can leave a visitor can access their emails etc but are better left "off" otherwise)

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

  • Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.
    The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...

  • How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    Hello!

    I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.
    So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games. So you can use it anywhere, anytime.
