• Start up. I want to know how to customize programs that will run on my quick launch on the taskbar.

  You can also see what programs you have start at startup, using this program and make changes to the boot:

  This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

  See you soon.

• How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

  I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

  Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

  Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

  Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

  DreamScene animated backgrounds were for Vista Ultimate only, but Stardock has called the Scapes desktop that will run on other versions of Vista, but you must pay for it.

  Hi Lynnsian22! Please use this forum :)

  You must make the system restore to go back to the games.

  Follow these steps:

  1) click Start and in the search type: restore or rstrui or search in the menu start the voice of system restore (Accessories-> system tools)
  (2) now, click on "choose a different restore point.
  (3) choose a date before you deleted the games
  (4) now confirm and your pc will restart

  If you want to get the best results, do Safe Mode.

  I think with this, you can retrieve games :)

• Y at - it a tool that can run in the background (without GUI) on a permanent basis and store information to a file or a database?

  Separated from this thread.

  Tom... I'm looking for the answer to the exact same question... How is it difficult to understand that applications die/chew place memory/chew time cpu and we cannot sit at the PC at the same time watching a monitor of performance...

  Resource monitor is really an extension of part of the tool used long ago to Windows.

  Win + R and Run perfmon. This allows you to define specific counters and sampling frequencies. Not easier to use tools but the data can be used and analyzed after the event.

• When I close Firefox, the window closes, but the Firefox.exe process and the plugin container continue to run in the background and should stop using Windows Task Manager.

  This happens frequently. Something in Firefox continues to operate even when the program is closed. The process must be stopped before I can open Firefox again.

  I'm trying to uninstall/install adobe flashplayer.  Adobe flashplyr starts to uninstall when I get the message that the uninstaller will resume when I close programs that are running, which is IE.  I think it's locked so how do I close it without losing the window of uninstall?

  Right-click the button on the taskbar of IE and close this window. Alternatively, remove Adobe Flash via the control panel.
