How do I change the program used to open mailto links in windows 8
I would like to use Firefox to open Mailto links in Windows 8. I found this article of support, but it is not relevant for Windows 8: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links?esab=a & as = aaq
When I open Control Panel-> default programs and try to associate the Mailto with Firefox, the only options it gives me are "Mail" (the Metro app I'm moving away) and "seek an app in the store. No Firefox. How can I get Firefox to show up in the list of applications that can be associated with Mailto? Thanks much for any help.
john99,
OK, I am clear now. Thanks again for taking so much time to help. I am very grateful.

original title: program music keyboard key
How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?
Thank you
Drew
As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.
If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.
So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:
- Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
- In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
- The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.
You should find everything you need there.
- If this proposal of solution solves your problem, please go back and mark as answer for others to consider.

I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.
Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.
The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwordsAdmittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options. -

How can I change the columns in File->; Open views program?
I use El Capitan 10.11.3 on a MacBook Pro. I start with a clean system. I copied my files from my backup and reinstall my programs.
This created a problem, seeking to resolve by changing the column headings in the views of program "file-> open.
Whatever program I use, when I open a file, the window displays currently "Date added". It is of no use to me as the "Date added" to all my files is exactly the same - date, I have copied them on my own hard drive brilliant from my backup.
In finder views, I can opt to display "update" instead of "added". So I order the files by date, whenever this is useful.
However, whenever I try to open a file in a program, it is impossible to find things by date, because they all have the same "date added". I need to be able to see the "change date".
I find anywhere that allows me to change this, either in the system preferences, or when opening a specific program. Don't I found clues to aid or the forum.
Can someone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
Right click on the headers (if in list view) and select the headers you want to see.
Alternatively, use the Arrangement to organize the desired date.

You can manage through Windows Defender startup programs.
But if you use McAfee, Norton, AVG and MSE, etc as an Anti Virus they disable Defender, which is the best thing for them to do.
There are a couple of other ways to manage startup programs:

Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.
Autoruns' hide signed Microsoft entries allows you to zoom in on images of automatic start of third parties who have been added to your system and it has support for looking at images of Autostart configured for other accounts configured on a system. A command-line equivalent that can display in format CSV, Autorunsc is also included in the download package.

How can I change the programs that start automatically when I turn on my computer?
I have several programs that slow down my departure upward. I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.
I have several programs that slow down my departure upward. I didn't not use programs and would that they won't start does not automatically.
First of all, note that you should be in * all * the programs that start automatically, not only with those who are in the system tray. Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the status bar.
On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its Options to see if she has the choice to not start (make sure that you actually choose to not run, not simply a "don't display the icon" option). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If this does not work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose of the minimum number of running programs. Despite what a lot of people tell you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs you run, but * that *. Some of them can seriously affect the performance, but others have no effect on performance.
Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do is to determine what each program is that its value is for you and what the performance cost is running all the time. You can try searching the Internet and ask questions about the details here.
Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.
