When I'm in My Documents or music photos etc., I can't create a new (empty) folder by using the "new folder" button for some reason any. Also, I can right click and create a new compressed folder, but there is no option for a regular folder when I right-click. I tried CTRL + SHIFT + N, but who does not work either. Clues?
Thank you

Original title: registry exe problem
I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous
Original title: Windows 7
I installed windows 7 and the desktop icons and bar tasks are enormous, go to Web pages, I have to use the scrollbar at the bottom of page to see the other half of the page - he said could also be a driver problem, but don't know what I'm looking for - someone can help?
Hello
Yes, well part of the problem from the point of view of Dell is the only "acceptable" operating system for the Office of series 4600 XP. So they have no drivers 'official' for any function of Windows 7!
But first I need more information on the video card. Try this (on the Dell site): 4600 system is supplied either with the built-in car video or a dedicated real card video. You should know that you got. Right-click of your mouse on the desktop, click on Properties in the next area, you see. This will bring you into the display properties. Now click on settings at the top right of this next area, click Next on the advance . Now, click on the adapter on the top. Just below the upper on this last box, you will see your listed video adapter.
You will need this information, regardless of where you get help. My best recommendation is that you go to the community of Dell and after a question here. Someone may have already found one, but there is nothing official since the operating system is not officially supported.
I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do.
Kind regards

I have Windows 7 and I was wondering if there was a version of Firefox called "Nightly"? The type of a Nightly.Ink file. Also, whenever I open 'Nightly' now, I get a popup of the program update and it says "update.exe". Is this a part of Firefox "Nightly" or is this a virus? Please answer this so I can relax. My email is [email protected]
Every night (a1) and (a2) Aurora built updated every day, so if you use such a developer version you will see an update every day (sometimes more than once a day in the case of a respin). These alpha versions are more intended to be experienced testers, because you may experience stability and regression of the questions at any time. The beta version (currently Firefox 25) can be useful for testing Web sites to see if they're going to get broken in the next Firefox release and file a bug report, if necessary.
Note that you must always install such version of development alongside a stable version and use a separate profile for each version folder.

I have Windows XP and the computer must remember my passwords
original title: passwords
Hi, I am very new to computers and any qualified. I have Windows XP and you want the computer remember my password so that I don't need to tell or to type them every time, but don't know if I can do it? Penelope
Would be even better if you had some central repository for passwords, IMO. It's a security not only that I am concerned over - save passwords and such (on web pages and places that can be saved) is a security concern - but what happens when something goes wrong with the computer and you lose all those saved credentials and you have not typed them in so long you really * not * don't forget? Neither the user name nor password and possibly not even if to use it?
I recommend KeePass: http://keepass.info/download.html
And keep a copy of the database on an external drive-in case something goes wrong. In this way he must memorize a unique password OR just have it written down, so you can see the list of the other passwords and user names and places to use.
