I need to change a system setting of the control panel to the Desktop Gadgets.

I want to put a clock on my desk. But when I try to open the setting, a window pops up: "The Desktop Gadgets are managed by your system administrator." I read the explanation provided by MS (group policy features, etc.), but my pc does not part of a network & it is not in a domain, so somehow that changing this setting for "Desktop Gadgets" sometimes there are. In any case, I wish I had a procedure step by step on how to disable the system of administration. function, even if I need to go into the registry. I don't have this problem with other parameters in my control panel. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I don't know, I never disabled Gadgets myself as I like the gadget to use CPU/RAM. But Microsoft recommended disabling some time ago. Maybe, if they are disabled is the effect it gives?

In any case, there are these two articles, which can be interesting to read if you did not already:

https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2719662

and

https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/library/security/2719662

If you have seen these or they do not help, then (sorry) I hope someone else soon.

PS - as one involves at least registry changes, your backup system in the first place, or at least backup/export your registry database and back up important data (documents, pictures, music, etc.) first.

  • Cannot delete system images (even via Control Panel)

    Hello.

    I tried to delete all the images in Windows backup system. I was able to delete the backups themselves, but does not remove the images.

    I did this:

    1. went to the control panel

    2. went to "Back up your computer" under system and security

    3. click 'manage space '.

    4. click on "change settings".

    I have selected the option "Delete all images of system for this computer" and click OK.

    I get the "Suppression system image" window, where it says "this may take a few minutes. Please wait... "And he has been slain on this for half an hour. I tried restarting my PC, always the same result.

    I don't bore you with the reasons for my doing this unless someone asks, in which case it is distracting from the main question.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you can not delete the system image. We will help you solve the problem.

    This problem may occur when your computer is infected by virus or malware, I suggest you run a full scan of your computer using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if that helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    After you perform a virus scan, I suggest you use cleaning disc from the link below to remove the files.

  • We need notifications for email and messages on the desktop

    Hello

    I just found out how to see the notifications, but I don't think they are convenient.

    Is it possible to receive notifications on the Destkop? It would be nice to have a counter of unread for example emails and a message counter.

    Thank you all for Firefox OS! I love this OS.

    Best wishes

    Hol

    Hi joseph.vidal.rosset,
    I'm glad to hear you like Firefox OS! I understand that you want to move the desktop notifications. Currently, there is no option to customize notifications.

    I don't know if there's an app on the market that do that, but you can change all notifications to not appear on the home screen of the setting menu by pressing the Notification. In order to change notifications for new e-mail, tap e-mail account on the three bars on the left menu, click on the gear and then click the name of the account. From there on, there will be an option to disable the new e-mail notifications.

    If you have any other questions on how to use Firefox OS, we are happy to help you.

  • Help! Changed operating systems and now the pictures are color green/yellow

    I recently changed media of windows xp operating systems to windows xp pro and now my pictures in pse 7 have a green/yellow tent for them.  also, in the raw menu, I have more options for the profile of the camera.  I used to have options like standard, landscape, portrait, ect.  When I open my raw from the same player as before card files, the photos look yellowish.  My black and white also have a greenish tent to them as well!  I recently had to re-download pse 7 from the adobe Web site after my system has changed due to a virus.  Help, please!

  • How can I set up the DVD player, the 1st boot priority?

    I don't know hoe to set my PC startup to restart from the DVD player. I have a product recovery disk, but not to make my PC open system restore. Help, please.
    I changed my system registry uxtheme.dll and this problem started occurring.

    Put the DVD in the drive and start it.

    You may need to change a BIOS setting to make the first boot device, a DVD/CD player. To do this, when you turn on look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing - F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer.

    In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change to CD/DVD, save it and let the computer to restart. In addition, some pre-installed systems have another key (usually F12) that allows the user to open the start menu rather than change the BIOS boot sequence.
