How to remove or disable the icon/thumbnail that floats above the pointer when you drag a file or folder in Explorer

When you do a drag-and - d├⌐poser in Solution Explorer, a very large icon/thumbnail floats just above the needle during the drag and a message "Move to .  The icon corresponding to the type of content of the file or the moved folder.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to see the destination of drag.  Really annoying.  The message "move to...". "or" copy to... ". "relatively small is fine.

So the question is, how to reduce the size (preferably 0) or to increase transparency (preference to 100%) or gift away with just the icon/thumbnail altogether?

Hello

Unfortunately, this is an of the by design of Windows Explorer functions. There is no way to solve this problem I know.

You might want to consider simply cut and paste them instead.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

    RE: iOS iPhone 6 s 10 how l remove or disable the slippery camera from outside the locked screen? This feature is a security and threat privacy for me.

    You can not. However, I'm not sure why you think it's a privacy or security threat. The only thing that can be accessed without unlocking the phone is the camera to take pictures. No one can access your data already on the phone.

  • Delay of the dialog 'Copy the file' when you drag a file to a folder that already contains.

    Delay of the dialog 'Copy the file' when you drag a file to a folder that already contains.  The dialog box only appears when that I disconnect.  In fact this problem can seriously mislead the user. The file has been copied to or not? This is a serious shortcoming of the operating system.
    A similarly delayed dialog box is to join files on a send to the recipient of the message.

    What is the cause of the delay? Dialog boxes are not under other windows - they break on screen as I log out.

    When I drag AGAIN the same file in the same folder, then I get a message that "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.  (No doubt the program who was trying to copy in the first attempt and waits for a response to the dialog box may not show me!)

    Lorien, thanks for your response.
    A lot of time and effort was exercised in an attempt to find out WHY. I wanted to not just fix the symptoms. It concerned me greatly as a basic function of the operating system does not work. He was not fit for purpose. In the end I found that a third-party application compromised of WINDOWS VISTA 32-bit operating system. If an operating system can not reliably inform the user that an operation is successful or not, it is worthless. In the case above, I didn't move the files was a success (no response required) or the delayed response until I signed.

    In addition to the original problem, there was the following problem: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/24068518-31e0-4b23-823b-d54882792301 where "send to..." 'Recipient' disable the context menu in Explorer for JPG does not or not broken.

    Finally, I figured out the following error had something to do with my problems:

    Description:

    Arriving in my solution, I was inspired by the following articles http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2006/08/31/453100.aspx     http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2006/11/27/532465.aspx
    So I downloaded the MS debug tools and confirmed my suspicion of dllhost.dll using REGEDIT to set debugging on that.
    To cut a long story short, it's DivX 7.2 which caused me grief.  In particular, the file DivXDecH264.ax 'has an access violation - code C0000005 (first chance).  It has been autonomous in DivX Plus DirectShow Filters.     Thus, when it has been deleted (starting other Articles to original install DivX) through Control Panel of configuration/programs and features my system worked perfectly well.

    I know SFA on the architecture of Windows but why was this DivX file loading and cause an access violation whenever I used the windows Explorer?  How an operating system may fail in a basic function of by a third party issue?  There are some newspaper where this access violation was recorded?  It was only possible to identify it in debugging?

    What you fella?

  • How to remove or disable the "Use default" button in preferences.

    I went through and set up my own configuration file, and everything is fine, except that we want to remove the ability for users to accidentally click the "Use default" option in the Preferences menu. Alternatively, I would hope that this has also removed the box to ask if firefox should be the default value.

    I put it do not ask, but we do not want users to click on this box if we have the ability to remove the "Use default" button.

    Doesn't seem to be something that I can put it in the registry, but if there is an entry in registry to remove or gray on this button, that would be also worked for me.

    You use a mozilla.cfg file to define the default values or do this with a file in the profile folder?

    You can lock a specific pref via the mozilla.cfg wire to make it impossible for users to change the pref that is related to this setting.

  • How do you turn off the phone when you export HTML files?

    Hello

    I am currently managing this site Adobe Muse. I am also working on the phone right now too, but its not completely finished site. While I work on the site of phone, I also do updates on regular desktop site. Updates on the site Office me posted so I'm working on the phone, but I don't want to download the site phone should still live until its done. I tried to delete all the phone folder, but it ends up just break the site. I hope that there is a button option "Do not export phone site", but this is perhaps too good to be true. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Rob.

    Hello Fowel Christ,

    Go to file > Site Properties > Layout > phone > uncheck "desktop Redirection.

    This will disable the redirection. Phone site is exported, but the redirection will not occur. So if a person visits your domain on a phone site so only the desktop version would be responsible.

    Note: If anyone has the url of the page phone then only he will be able to access the phone site.

    Kind regards

  • How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine

    We have a scenario where we are mirror of VMs from one site to another site for BCP which has a separate instance of the VC.

    We pre-record the virtual computers hosted NFS in virtual center.

    When we need to recover break us the mirror and power on the machine.

    VC then promp with the question, you want to keep or throw the UUID.

    How can be script as its easy to answer a few virtual machines but a pain for possibly up to a hundred?

    There are a few things to keep in mind when you want to start the guests and answer the question in this way.

    (1) the Start-VM cmdlet will wait for the prompt to start, but there is a question waiting it will never happen.

    ==> the solution is to use the Start-VM cmdlet with the parameter -RunAsync , this way the cmdlet will not wait.

    (2) when a client starts, it will take some time before the issue appears.

    ==> the solution is to wait until the question is displayed with a loop

    (3) to get the current status of the prompt, the script needs to get the VirtualMachine object with each pass through the loop.

    The properties of the $vm variable are not automatically updated unless the script retrieves the object with the cmdlet Get-View.

    (4) the purpose of the Question is present when the question is displayed. Prior to this point, this object is $null.

    ==> to avoid execution of the StartsWith method on a $null object if statement first checks to see if the object in Question is present.

    The script relies on the fact that the two conditions that are combined with - and the operator are executed from left to right.

    This is probably not a good programming practice and should be solved by using two nested If statements.

    The following script implements all the points made above.

    Note that it can only be used for the issue of msg.uuid.moved.

    The script responses with choice 2 which is the choice of 'keep '.

    $qMsgUuidMoved = "msg.uuid.moved:"
    $choiceKeep = 2
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VM "TestPC"
    $vmImpl | Start-VM -RunAsync
    
    do{
      $vm = $vmImpl | Get-View
      if($vm.Runtime.Question -ne $null -and $vm.Runtime.Question.Text.StartsWith($qMsgUuidMoved)){
        $vm.AnswerVM($vm.Runtime.Question.Id, $choiceKeep)
      }
    } until ($vm.Runtime.PowerState -ne "poweredoff")
    
    Write-Host $vm.Name "started"
    
  • How? Minimize the length of the image when you drag the component of the project timeline

    Greetings from gurus.

    How do you keep an image dragged in the Panel project to the timeline, covering the length of the entire composition?

    Images to the timeline always reach the entire composition. When you have a hundred of clips and just two seconds or so, each element in a composition of four minutes sizing is... Well, a lot of time. Even dragging on the agenda and the time the layer just pushes it beyond the end of the composition, and always requires resizing.

    Should be an easy answer. Ready for my Homer Simpson "Doh!"

    Thanks in advance

    I don't know if this has been posted.  I had a very enigmatic comment when I tried that I didn't understand.  Yet once, can I export music in lossless format file to a USB key and change its format to mp3 or aac? during the transfer?

    Roll T,

    When you add files to a USB drive, you simply make a copy.  If you want a different format, first to make the new version of iTunes and copy the new file on the disk.

  • How can I set at the point when the [key does not work because I have a German keyboard?

    Hi, I'm new to CS6 and worked through the book of Adobe After Effects. Some of the shortcuts do not work for me, probably because I use a German keyboard. In Chapter 11, I have problems because I need to select a layer, go to a specific time and then set to the point, but the [key does not work. Does anyone know a German equivalent or another way to set the point to? Otherwise, if I look at the colored bar in the timeline representing the layer that I want to put a point, can I get the same effect by dragging the edge of the colored bar until I reached the time limit? Or that fails to preserve the relationship of all images existing keys, etc. that I have implemented for a layer in a way that the [key would be? Grateful for any advice.

    Shift + o/a, o/a and so on. Also kann man mit Sttrg + shift + D die ebony einfach und den Teil parts, den man nicht parish, löschen. Ansonsten einfach evil die die Shortcuts.txt Datei deepening und oder das KeyEd Up Script dafur use squad.
