How disable the full row select in Windows 7 Explorer?

Keith Miller provided that a registry change works on Vista.
http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en/itprovistadesktopui/thread/7101bb56-c0b7-48af-a493-2fb8c8ea0ead

but it does not work on Windows 7.
I tried the two editing the registry and run the script, Explorer still works with lots of Select line.
Does anyone have the solution?

OK, that's s little late, prob a waste of time.  I appreciate the work of the people who came with corrections to this stupid "design by" improvement of Microsoft.  My goal is threefold:

1: to comment, this is not the first time, probably won't be the last, that the independent community is cleaning after the stupidity of Microsoft.

2: to predict one of its "features" that will be integrated into windows 8: If you mistakenly triple - click on any file in windows Explorer .exe, the window will turn into a copy of the finder of Mac, and then morph into a ball of rotation range, then the operating system will remove half of its own files and shut down.   He will present another opportunity for people to find bugs and "work-arounds."  Microsoft, of course, will say that it is "by design", because no Windows user would never "triple-tap" on anything...

3: to explain why these things happen: at least one of the Chief engineers/developers MS Windows has a recurring nightmare, playing the Nerd in a Mac ad, and the ' mac cool guy "is the one who had an affair with the first girlfriend of the Nerd... (long story), in any case Nerd therapist can help him much, so every morning Mr. Nerd wakes up in a cold sweat and starts to work thinking that the only way out is complete "Macification" of Windows.

As one of apparently few people who use two operating systems extensively, I can see what is happening in the brain of the Nerd.  Unfortunately.

It is true that Windows has had its stupid and unnecessary problems, and at the same time, Mac is more stable.  In addition, Windows can be maddeningly stupid sometimes.  However, after trying to actually do things or correct certain defects of system on a Mac for a few hours, it is absolutely Orgasmic to return to Windows, where there are usually real solutions, and you can make things work.  In the Mac world, when the BONE does stupid things (who does regularly and on a much larger scale than windows), they simply shake their heads to you unfortunately and whisper that you must have done something wrong, or tried to do something nasty...     In the Mac world, ALL bugs and limitations are "by design", and since the design is perfect, no problem that you have is to only you.

  • How can I disable the FULL ROW selection in the Explorer (WINDOWS 7)

    Open TWO windows explorers.  One of them has a bunch of EXE inside (say the right one)

    Drag a file from left to right on the right, because I want to move the file there.

    IT HIGHLIGHTS ANY EXE I HOVER OVER AND THEN TRY TO OPEN WITH THE FILE I DRAGGED.  I CAN'T MOVE IT SIMPLY.

    Try again with 'right click' the only option you get is 'open with '.

    All I want to do is move a file. An EXE file in a folder with a bunch of other s EXE which are common.

    Why is the SIMPLEST, a BASIC operation simply MOVE FILE a, suddenly not able to accomplish because of this 'new '?

    Who, moreover, has worked well for DECADES in the version PREVIOUS of EACH?

    -Scott Weber

    (User annoyed by the complete rearrangement and re structuring of each new version)

    Well Yes, I know exactly what you mean: there is no 'empty space' to drop the file in. No matter where you drop is in fact fall on one of these files (exe in your case) and trying to open with it.

    And you have not seen the worst: somehow, people being able to do that and associate permanently the file moved with the drop target, break their ability to open this file by double clicking on because he tries 'open with' the wrong thing.  And then what happens with a file EXE and you can even run a repair program to fix, because your EXE associations are bad.

    ---

    In any case, I share your pain.  The best advice I can give is to "fall" on the title bar of the Explorer 2nd folder. Then, it will actually in the folder and not into another file.

  • How can I disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?

    Is someone can you please tell me how to disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?  I am happy to change the registry to implement if necessary.

    Why?

    Because my PC sometimes gives an IP address like 169.254.0.1.  This is because Windows has detected that your computer is connected to a network, but the PC has not yet given an IP address by DHCP on the network, so Windows Server the automatic IP Configuration comes in and gives the PC an IP address that starts with 16.254.

    The reason why that the DHCP server on the network has not given an IP address was because the network is coming a few seconds before the DHCP server comes up, and the automatic IP Configuration Windows comes too quickly.

    Of course, once the PC has an IP starting 169.254, he cannot communicate with my router that has an IP address that starts with 192.168.  The only cure, outside re-booting, is to issue the ipconfig/renew command to obtain an IP address from the router DHCP server.

    If I can turn off the automatic IP Configuration of Windows (I could disable in XP) then I can avoid this error.

    One option that you have.

    You can set the IP address to a static IP address.

    Reach:
    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Network and sharing Center

    Click on connection to the Local network (a separate dialog box opens Local Area Connectin status)
    Click on Properties (opens the dialog)
    Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
    Click on Properties

    On the general tab, move the radio button to use the following IP address:
    Here you can set the IP address that you want to use the machine.

    Example of Configuration:
    192.168.0.254
    255.255.255.0
    192.168.0.1

    You will need to note the IP DNS addresses you need more.
    If you like you can even use a set of public DNS servers for free. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-DNS-server/

    Please note that the sample configuration assumes routers IP is 192.168.0.1, check please. :)

    Good luck

  • Will be able to choose only the last the last row in a window/desktop icon in Windows 7

    I use my laptop with Windows. Recently I could not open the icons/files you want in the Office of a window.

    I may be able to choose only the last the last row in a window/desktop icon in Windows 7.
    Although double-clicking on an icon only the last icon in the window opens. Pls help me...

    Hi Peter,.

    1 when was the last time that the desktop icons worked?

    2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

    3. don't you face any performance issues on the computer?

    4 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    Method 1:

    I would say allowing you to run the FIXIT from the link provided and check.

    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/en-us

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, you can also run the Scanner security Microsoft and check all infections.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

    Method 3:

    I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

    You cannot uninstall COMPLETELY, but you can reduce it to 1 part. Under Preferences > Documents

  • Satellite M30: How disable the BIOS boot password?

    Hello

    Before my vacation, I activated the startup password in the Bios. Now I want to turn this off, but it does not work. In the Bios, I can go to the Security tab, but I can't change the settings with the F5/F6 key or space. A beep is all I get. Entering on this point, I wonder to set a new password.

    Anyone know how to disable the password for a Satellite M30? Please note that I have not forgotten my password, I can always start the machine.

    THX,

    Werner.

    PS On this forum, I don't see any topic title, only the name of the authors. Is always normal? It is very convenient that way, but maybe it is related to my pc.

    Hello

    I found a step by step explanation to clear a BIOS password:

    "Turning on the computer from a State"off"with the ESC key. You are asked "password =". "

    Enter the password, and then press ENTER. The unit will display: "the valid password is entered, the system starts up. Check the system. Press key (F1). »

    Press the F1 key. This will start the device in the BIOS Setup mode.

    Using the arrow keys or tab, move to the password field and select REGISTERED.

    Press the SPACE bar, enter the password, and then press ENTER. For now, the password field is transformed into NON REGISTERED. »

    Hope this will help you.

How to make the adjustment remains permanently until I want to activate the key again.  The computer indicates that the driver is up-to-date. I tried to go back to the old driver, which didn't help. As soon as windows can be delivered the internal keyboard is on again once. This has happened only since installing windows 10.

  • I need to disable the slide show feature in Windows Live Mail 2011

    I asked the question back here December 7:

    I have a list of disks that I send that contains some pictures. Is there a way to disable the slide show feature is not there when I send this list. Also - for some reason, it is much more difficult to add to my list because I went from Windows Outlook to Windows Live Mail 2011. No idea why it is difficult to make additions to my list?  Thanks - Bob
     
    It was the response I received from Michael Santovec:
     
    (1) turn off picture messaging
    WLM 2011: ALT + F, Options, mail, compose - uncheck: message to convert to e-mail photo when you add photos

    While composing
    WLM 2011: Insert (ALT + I), simple Photo or attach file

    There is a solution to avoid the send from Windows Explorer forcing picture messaging in WLM 2011 despite the program settings.

    When you select to send, accompanied of a record no graphic images.  This could be just a file dummy.txt which is located in the same folder.

    You will always have the ability to resize the images, but they find themselves attached instead of a mail of the photo.  You can then right click on the file dummy.txt and remove it from the message before sending it.

    An another workaround if you are connected with a Live ID account in WLM is right click on the album in the message composition window, then left click on the tab tools of Photo Album that highlights in the Ribbon, and then the trombone to convert attachments.

    Now, I'm not much more than a 'computer' man so maybe I did something wrong but the instructions above do not work. And now things have become even worse:

    -now, I try to download my list several times before it actually works. Most of the time part of the page or the whole page becomes completely black.

    -the few times that I can send my page and send him off to someone it takes about 5 to 6 minutes to go from my Outbox sent items.

    I really need to turn off the slide show feature in my windows Live Mail 2011, otherwise I'll have fet another e-mail provider that is not something I want to do. I really don't like the new look of WLM 2011, but this problem with the slideshow feature drives me crazy. Any help here will be greatly appreciated - Bob

    P.S. I thought to return to Outlook from Windows, but since I am on Windows 7 is apparently not an option.
