How to set up guests before Windows 7 updates

I lost only 6 hours of my time thanks to Microsoft. Normally, I would put my work that I will, but I do not have... I don't know that I have a lot of answers saying it's my fault of does not save my work, and it is. Yes, the power could go out, computer could get disconnected, or some other thing, but none of this has happened. It closes all your programs just & restarts... WARN ME FIRST! I MEAN REALLY, THAT IT IS THE POLITENESS! You do not have this Microsoft computer, so don't RESTART MY COMPUTER WHEN EVER YOU SEE FIT! Is it seriously so difficult to have windows prompt before closing and restarting? I need to have a job application in 4 hours from now, but it will not happen. THANK YOU MICROSOFT! I can not even send an E-mail to Microsoft yell without paying $50. Do not warning, nor ask people before restarting makes it makes absolutely no sense.

* original title - is it so difficult to ask before the patch & reboot? *

Sorry to hear about what past:

Click Start, type: Windows Update

Press enter on your keyboard

Click on the link 'change settings '.

In the "Updates" list box, click

Select the option "" download updates but let me choose whether to install them ".

Click OK

  • How to set file associations in Windows 7 (not 'open', but others)

    In Windows XP, I could go to a menuFichier associations see or change references to elements like: Edit, print, etc., in addition to 'Open', and I could put the opened another default action (examples 'play', merger or edit).

    Where can I do this in Win7?

    I know on the page "Panel-> Default Programs-> Set Associations (associate a file of a program)", but that seems to have only the opportunity to choose a program that will be called when the user "clicks" on the file, which is the default action.

    I recently installed an image viewer, but it took all my image assocs, editing program.

    This is some 'sense' (otherwise, how to see pics in the Viewer?), so I right click to see if there was another option to edit my photo (such as edit)...   There are - except that it does not start my photo editing program, it starts 'paint '.

    So, how can I do the 'Edit' menu option to call my editor?

    In a more general way, how can I change one of the right-click options to point to my program, or if, say, 'change '.
    was not there, and I wanted to 'Edit' on '.reg' programs to open the file in a text editor?

    These things were relatively simple in Windows XP, but now I have no idea on where to find these basic
    Setting OS features.

    I can't imagine that MS would expect people to learn and use 'regedit' to make these types of changes - but this seems to be the only program supplied with Win7 to do this, or I just WAY missing something obvious?

    Thank you!

    You are missing the old style "File Types" dialog allowing you to resolve this kind of things?  In Windows 7 (and Vista), you will need to set manually in the registry.  But there is a small program that brings your familiar functionality.   I have not used it myself, but it seems to be quite impressive.  Here is the link: http://types.sourceforge.net/

    Thank you very much for this link!

  • How to start the program before windows 7 user logon

    I already know how to start a program when a user logs on to Windows 7. * (Not easy to find, but once you know the trick, it's simple as pie: place a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). So don't answer that. I already know that.

    But my question is this:

    How can I get the same program to launch * before * the users logon? I want the program start when Windows restarts.

    This program does not require the user's privileges - does not open the files, etc., except access to (of course) its location in C:\Program Files (x 86) / folder.

    (What, you may ask? I would like to launch a program of Wake-on-LAN to send a "magic packet" to a computer on the local subnet to sleep. Asleep computer happens to host some of the shared data).

    If you want to start until the user opens a session, you will have to start as a service.

    This is the boot sequence for the main registry keys, starting immediately after reading bootmgr and ending with the program shortcut entries in the two startup folders.

    1 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute. This may include instructions to schedule chkdsk runs, but not the user programs.

    2 services start ensuites, followed by the keys of registry RunServicesOnce and RunServices (if present)

    3. the user then connects to the system

    4 HKLM Winlogon, Userinit. This indicates that the program C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, and the entry ends with a comma. Other programs can be started from this key by adding and separated by a comma.

    5 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell. This must contain an entry, explorer.exe.

    6. program entered into these key 2 registry for all USERS start following:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and \RunOnce

    7. program entered into these 2 registry for the CURRENT USER key start following:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and \RunOnce

    8. programs in startup of all records users and current user are started last of all.

    Important as antivirus and firewall programs begin early in the sequence as Services. The icons that appear in the Notification area (at the bottom right of the screen) is just their user interfaces, i.e. options and preferences.

    The additional location of 32-bit applications on a 64-bit computer is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node and HKCU.

    Well I could finally update of Snow Leopard Mountain Lion... boy is ML a different animal... Laughing out loud

    Slight wit learning curve all the gadgets but in SL, I could access my laptop with the ftp client, now the phone is dead, I use my desktop Mac Pro early 2008 running ML.

    I can't use Filezilla to access my desktop at all. I thought that all I had to do was change the IP (we are on a router private for our House only) and it will not allow him.

    I have turned on sharing files for mac, but see's gone to use ftp, I got him to go directly to the Volumes, since that's the two external I need access.

    What should I do?

    You need not primitive talk between PC and Mac FTP. You can use smb: and get a much better experience. Which is set up in file sharing.

  • How to set up 4K with Windows 7 displays

    I recently bought a 4K display for the editing of images and video of 4K. Everything looks great except for two issues.

    1. even with the text of 150% scale, many air applications is too small or the correct size but upscaled and blurred.

    2 - I have my old DVi as my second display set up, but I don't want to have the text of 150% scaling because

    now, everything on that seems too big.

    Is it possible to apply different text scaling at every exit of the screen, just as you can set different resolutions? It seems stupid

    to force the two screens to have the same attributes, when they have completely different resolutions.

    If I get a second graphics card for the display of old, I still see the problem even if I turn on the text magnification 150%

    on the 4 k displays the map? It seems that this setting is global.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    Windows allows you to use the scale to increase the size of text and other items on the screen. When you use the scale in this way, Windows allows to enlarge the size of the text and elements of the UI(User Interface) to the scale you choose. Each account on a computer has a separate for the scaling setting.

    I suggest you try using the steps described in this article and check if it helps.
