Ho can I stop win 7 to change the size of the screen when I move the mouse a let way or touchpad as it is quite annoying

It is a feature of the touchpad on some Acer laptops, known as the multi touch and Dell.  If you open your mouse control panel (type mouse into the start menu), you can use the touchpad settings to disable these features.

    Hello

    If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user.  They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.

    Are you sure that it is an application that is causing the problem?

    When you are connected to the Internet, Win XP will periodically synchronize with a time server.  If you have Win XP on the wrong time zone, your computer displays the local time 'bad '.

    Double click on the time (lower RH of your screen) and select the time zone tab.  Select the correct time zone for your location and check the DST box.  If necessary, change the time manually to your local time and save your changes.

    Then select the time tab Internet - and make sure that you have a server in the server field.  I use the time - a.nist.gov.  There are many alternative servers, including time.nist.gov and time.windows.com.  Click 'Update now'.

  • How to stop Windows of reconfiguration of the monitors of visualization?

    Hi all

    I'm working on a simulator product that requires a certain amount of output monitors representing screens of different aircraft in a simulation cockpit. We have the poster correctly configured so that each monitor displays the correct area to an "office" - i.e. so that each plane appears in the correct place.

    The problem is (and this is a very big problem) If a display disconnects for any reason, Windows thinks it knows best and RECONFIGURE the remaining poster. Unfortunately even reconnect the monitor (and even restarted) does not retrieve the configuration of the monitor a correct display.

    Is there anyway to prevent Windows to reconfigure the output displays when a monitor disconnects? In our case, the current behavior of Windows, try to be helpful is actually the worst thing he can do. We would much better for Windows to act as if the disconnected monitor was always there; This would avoid disruption to our screens configured carefully.

    There must be a setting somewhere that I'm missing to get this standard Windows behavior. Can someone help me please?

    Thank you

    Andrew.

    P.s. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum group - but I passed the age trying to find the most appropriate forum and this is the closest, I could find.

    Hi André,.

    Thanks for clarification on the issue. Much appreciated!

    Unfortunately, there is no other parameters that can stop this rendering problem. This behavior is by design. I thought of the setting to decreasing possibility to change the behavior, but nothing helps.

    However, the graphics card adapter plays an important role to restore the same settings when the screens are reconnected. You can try to update your video once card adapter and check if it helps.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • What is a quick way to exit Windows 7 without using the mouse?

    On Windows XP, I could type the window then u and U key to exit.

    On Windows 7 I seem to need the mouse to exit, even if I did stop my setting of the default button.

    In addition, Windows 7 wants to drag me through a few caveats that I've closed everything.

    Sometimes, it's just my email that is open or a file folder, then there is no pending work.

    But I want to just close without the quiz on my understanding of the risks of loss of work, etc..

    I know that some applications such as Norton and Windows update can simply kill all ongoing enforcement programs to restart

    during the installation of updates, so the 'risk' is not worth the constant reading.

    Here are the steps to stop Windows 7 without using the mouse:

    Press Windows (Windows key).
    Release it
    Press the right arrow key
    Press ENTER key

    If you don't want warnings to stop, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the command-line ' shutdown/f' and assign a key combination.

    See the following link for more shutdown command line options:
    http://www.computerperformance.co.UK/Windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htm

    Once you create the shortcut icon on the desktop, you right-click on the icon, select Properties. In the shortcut tab, you can assign a key under the shortcut key combination to launch this program.

    I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

    For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

    I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  • How can I keep windows update to change the location of folders of rediredcted

    My work computer is in a domain.  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3.  Due to the large size of the 'My pictures' folder I redirected it to on of my local readers rather than let him lie on our server (Windows 2003 SBS).  I also redirected "My music" folder on a local drive and the 'My Favorites' folder on the server where the "My Documents" folder is also.  It works very well without any problem, most of the time.  In some way, some, but not all, windows updates will change the location of the "My pictures" folder on the server.  When this happens, I know that as soon as I login after the reboot because it will take about an hour before the computer can be used.  The reason for this is that the folder is moved (not copied) on the server with a connection to ethernet 100 base-T.  My another stay of redirected folders where they are supposed to be, just the 'My pictures' folder is moved.  I tried to find all the registry entries that have to do with the location of this folder and found only two, those who originally, I changed to redirect the folder in the first place.  This has happened for the 4th time, when I greeted Windows Update to install the latest updates last night (13/02/13).  It becomes very boring and time would trust because I have to put the folder on the local drive and reset the folder redirection and the whole process takes about an hour, plus time lost after reboot.  Help please.

    Hi Steve,.

    I see from the description of the problem, you have a problem with the location of the folder my pictures change after installing Windows updates.

  • How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

    How to stop Motion 5 to rename the items?

    For example, I have a folder named "Box" inside this folder are 5 additional folders and in these files are text and circles/squares etc.  Once I have copy and insert the name of the parent is "copy of zone 1", the names of children is now "copy print"1", 1 paper copy etc, and children are also name with a copy to the front and a number in the back.  If you like 50 items in the folder, you need to go to each name and remove the copy, then move to the back of the name and remove the number.  That would make 100 corrections.  If you duplicated "Box" 10 times that would be 500 times I have to delete the copies and 500 times I have to delete the number.  I am an organized person and I do not confuse names like "copy paper 27.

    I only want that this

    'Copy of movement case 12-11'

    to look like this

    "Movement block 12.

    It takes a lot of time to remove the copy at the front and out the number on the back of name.

    In Autodesk Maya 3D they do something similar, it turns 'apples' in 'pasted apples 1 ", so created a script that deletes all the text"stuck"in the name and number on the back the text name.

    I think it's a pretty silly renaming procedure.  Adds text to the front and rear.  Makes me wonder where they got their education.

    David

    David, for starters I can't duplicate what you describe, where things are added to the front and back automatically, you may need to clarify some things.  Looks like what you're saying is you have Group in movement named "Box" If you copy and paste the group, the name of the new group is "copy of copy of box?  Or you add 'Copy from' before the name of the Group at some point before making a copy/duplicate of the Group?

    Movement, like the Finder and many other applications, will add an object in double with 'copy', then add numbers after that. The structure of renaming seems simple enough. For example:

    1. start by a group of layers / named 'box '.

    2. copy and paste "Box" will give you "Box copy.

    3 copy and paste 'Copy of box' will give you «box copy 1"»

    My tests, if "copy" part of the name at the end, only the numbers will be added and increase gradually.  I think that if you get something like "Box copy copy" you have added manually "copy" at the beginning of the name, which is the only way that I could reproduce what you describe. If you don't want to have to remove 'copy' twice, don't start a layer name or "Exemplary" program group. Motion is probably not check if the copy is at the beginning, at the end.

    For what is a way of not having a copy or a number added to the end, it is not a.  It is probably a requirement of how the movement initially creates duplicates of layers/groups and make sure, that it is not destroy the existing layers. This is probably the best. This is similar to the creation of the records or documents in the Finder, just moving, you can go back and rename multiple items with the same name once they are created. If you are uncomfortable with writing scripts, sounds like you are, maybe it's a good option, otherwise you will have to do some manual changes as you go.
