• Customize the "Programs" list in the start menu which will be held in the way I want

  On the Start Menu, under the "All programs" list, I want to be able to organize where shortcuts are stored and how they are organized.  I found out how switch to Classic view and do the old-fashioned way.  That took me so far. To illustrate, I don't want the set of displayed utilities kitchen sink.  This is absurd.  So I created folders that go something like this: Office-graphic tools, security tools, tools of money, Web tools, tools, etc.  Then the first time I put for example, Adobe Reader 8 under Web tools. I put Norton under Tools-security, etc.  This means that I don't have to sort through a Visual equivalent of a pile of linen on the floor to find what I need.  It is logically. (When I was finished, I went back in the menu "Classic start", in the Vista Start menu).  It was working fine.

  But that is the problem.  Classics view let me do it once, but now that I've updated programs, like I did just for Adobe Reader 9, he puts the shortcut at the top of the list, and he won't let me not drag in the folder I want, or customize any other way.  (Why not?  Users should be able to easily organize their own computer screen. For me, customization is not just by clicking on a list about whether or not he should display something. "It is to logically organize the way you want).  When I return to the classic menu, it does not show the Adobe Reader 9, or some of the other utilties that have been added to the list of programs and to show up when I go to "All programs" but are not where when I return to the option of classic menu-customize-Advanced to customize folders.

  Please advise me on how to customize the display, ideally in the version of Vista's Start Menu, instead of having to go back to the classic view, which now does not display the new shortcuts.  Thank you.

  Hi ibydesign,

  I know what you mean. Everyone has their own way of organizing and you should be able to logically group things where you want. Whose computer is anyway? There IS a way to organize your own stuff in Vista. If you right click on the button to start, then click on explore all users, it will open Windows Explorer in the (hidden) program data folder. Under Microsoft\Windows\Start Démarrer\Programmes you should see all the files and programs that you want to work with.

• How can I transfer only the music I want?

  Hello.

  Our iMac iTunes is full of music for the whole family. How can I transfer only the songs I want on my iPod and my iPad?

  Second...

  When connecting from my iPad to my iMac USB cable the iPad goes into sync mode and transfers all sorts of things on the iMac and gets things from him. All I want is to transfer my music? How can I do this?

  Create your own playlists in iTunes.

  Connect your iDevice to the iMac - in the main iTunes window select your iDevice - menu drop-down upper left box located to the left of the music-movies, etc.

  You will see a list of 'Settings' for this device - select a tab and check the boxes of what content you want on your device.

  Also in the Group of settings select 'Summary' - from there, in the 'Options' section, you have a few additional items to choose from.

• Officejet6500A only prints the way it wants to print

  my printer prints, but not the way I want what he

  whenever I try to print in grayscale / black and white, something that has the color... I click the icon of Grayscale / black and white on the page where my photos are... the photo on the screen changes to black and white, but it still comes out in color

  say also that I need to print a doc - 5 pages it will print one or maybe 2-3 pages and stop

  printer very disobedient

  where in the hp screen can I change the settings for b/w

  I used to see the option... now I have no thanks at all

  Hello katt6,

  I see that you have some printing problems with the Officejet 6500 a, print in black and white habit, will not print all of the pages you request, etc. Have you been able to establish these problems?

  If not, what is the serial number and model of the device you are printing from?

  I would first recommend that you check the printer and device for updates. For the printer, getting the latest Firmware and updates. On the device, in general, under settings there is an option to check the updates.

  Kind regards

• How can I change explore the way Vista...

  1. How can I change the way to Vista Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) highlights a selected item or folder?  At the moment it is transparent and not discernible from the background.
  2. is it possible to have Vista's Explorer expand a folder with a single click as XP, closing the folder previously expanded (in the folders pane) If Yes, how can I do this?
  3. How can I remove the links from above the folder column in Explorer?  It is a waste of space for me.
  **. Why Microsoft put links in a folder to the folders in this folder?  All I get is 'click to access the folder' and then a message that I don't have access rights to the folder.  It is a stand alone and I'm the only operator on this subject.  WTF?

  As a note to those maintaining the forum, by moving in IE8 Favorites bar, external USB HARD drive no longer works, CAP12 could not extract..., problems with SystemRestore aren't somehow related or similar to my question.

• Can I import bookmarks/favourites WITHOUT having reorganized them the way FF wants?

  This question seems to be common to all browsers, but it of maddening to me and prevented me from browsers before changing, but I'm really tired of IE.

  I have a lot of folders with bookmarks and in these folders are the other files with bookmarks. The records are in the order I want that they, as is their content. After you import, everything was in alphabetical order, and the entire structure became useless for me. Drag / drop a few hundred components individually are not what I want to do. Is it possible to import things exactly as they are? It would be a logical option for a feature like this?

  You can export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

  If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

  • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML:
    File > import and export
  • Import HTML file in Firefox:
    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import bookmarks HTML

  See "Import from another browser" and "import from file":

• How do I get this to subtract the way I want it too?

  I ' n trying to edit an old project that I did for my color and design class in 2D where I was trying to figure out how to get the outline of the Octopus, I did to subtract with a white rectangle, I did so that the triangles of color, I got behind the two would show only through the sketch. However, I wasn't always able to understand. Now I have to make a portfolio for my final project, and I was hoping I'd be able to do this time. Most of the time, this has worked but for some reason, this has happened.

  

  I tried to remove just the piece in white before take off, but then in this case.

  

  How to make it so that the white part in the middle looks like the rest of the output line?

  If it helps at all here is it looked like originally.

  

  Choose your black shape and your field of color (with the black shape on the top). Open the transparency palette, click make mask and set the checkboxes to match my screen shot in the post above.

• UL links does not work the way I want

  Hello

  Just trying to learn more about CSS and I have a problem.

  I have an unordered list vertical and used the li tag do a "box" around each link (border background/red red/black text)

  I then did the text in each box a link by using the menu "edit/make the connection" option. It works very well.

  So next I tried to create a rule composed (li, a: hover) to change the color of the font in black and red background color - basically reverse the colors of the non-pointe State. So now stationary, while the text changes to black as I want it in the background everything passes to red as soon as I select this color in the rule?

  Here are some photos to show what I'm trying to explain.

  NO - HOVER

  

  Li a: hover tag

  

  I guess I'm not using the li,: hover tag correctly and am sure someone can put me right.

  In addition, using the ' menu edit/make link option will make only the text a link but I would like to area it entire boxes of eah element as part of the link - how do you do that? What I have to do each item an image?

  And here's the CSS.

  Remove the comma.   You're style of an element; not two.

• Show now messages "to: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to get back to the way it was.

  I use several yahoo email address and it was always very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now suddenly all I see is 'me' and it is not at all useful. I brought no changes nor authorizes it to do. I don't even know if it's a Firefox problem or a problem with Yahoo. I would like to know how to change back to show e-mail address or full name.

  Hello shackiraq, you must contact the support of yahoo on this topic - firefox does not handle your emails, but makes just a website as it is provided by the server of a webmail service.

• Why can you I did not have my back, forward, stop and buttons Reload the way I want what they? My browser Setup was perfect and now with 29 I can't put it up in the way I li

  I put the rear buttons forward, Stop and reload, separately just to the left of the address bar. That's how I like it and how do I get my navigation. After the automatic upgrade at 29 killed my browser configuration, I tried to use Classic theme restaurateur but the reload button does nothing and now after awhile all buttons simply disappeared after place them where I like them. I'm reduced to having to right click on the web page and selecting the action in the context menu to make navigation as basic measures go forward and backward and reloading. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  1. Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar and select Customize.
  2. Click the default settings button, then the button customize the output.
  3. If you don't already have it, install Classic theme restaurateur and restart Firefox when prompted.
  4. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
  5. Beside the classical restaurant theme, click on the Options button.
  6. On the main tab, make sure that 'Mobile back-forward button' and 'hide urlbars stop & reload buttons' is checked. You can also check "combine stop & reload buttons. Close the options window when finished.
  7. Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar and select Customize.
  8. Do slide forward/backward buttons, Stop and reload on the navigation toolbar.
  9. Click the Customize the output at the bottom right button when finished.

  That being said, I must point out that you can reload pages in other ways.

  • Make a right click No matter what tab and choose reload.
  • Right click on a box empty page and choose reload.
  • Press F5.
  • Press Ctrl + R (Mac: command-R).

• How can I organize photos a way where they will remain in a certain order whenever I discover the folder?

  HELP PLEASE IM GOING MENTAL! I took vacation photos on my camera and the phone I want to then put in order in a single file. However, every time I leave the folder and return in the videos have moved and the photos are back in their order of moose. I tried several times and looked for an organization of the options but no luck so far, please help {I really don't want to go by and name each file starting with a, b, c, etc.}

  original title: HELP Please IM GOING MENTAL!

  Batch numbering so perhaps would be worth a try:

  Organize files the way you want and go to... Edition / select all.

  Right-click the photo 'first' the selected (highlighted)
  Group and from the menu choose... Name change.

  For the first name... Enter a descriptive word for the group,
  a space, and the first number

  Summer vacation (10001) .jpg

  (Yes... Use parentheses and start the number with a 1)
  (If you want to add a descriptive title to batch... Leave a
  space after the last letter and before the first parenthesis)

  Press on... Enter and Windows renames the remaining photos...

  Summer vacation (10002) .jpg
  Summer vacation (10003) .jpg
  Summer vacation (10004) .jpg

  Good luck...
