Info-bubble/tooltip & icon 'my computer '.

How change the registry so that the bubble/info-ToolTip for the icon "My Computer" shows the actual name of the computer?  I know that I can hardcode it but I would rather the info get pulled around the register - I've got 900 PCs...

Thank you - Terry

The 'ToolTip' %ComputerName% in this key value:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

  • How can I remove the info bubble can appear when you use the patch tool?

    Removing the unwanted parts of an image or repairing older images, the tool most used by me is the patch tool. When I select a patch and move a bubble with measures to know how far I moved this patch appears and seems to ALWAYS be in the way. Some areas to repair are extremely magified and can make or break a natural looking image or not.

  • Change the info-bubble/balloon in the registry

    How to modify the registry to make sure the bubble/info-ToolTip for the "My Computer" icon reflects the name of the computer - without actually typing in the "Value data" field of InfoTip?

    To go a step further with this... what should I do if I want to place the cursor on the 'My Computer' icon and display more information such as: IP address, domain name... Any ideas?

    Mike

    Mike,
    Try '% LOGONSERVER %' for the domain name. For the IP address, try to create a custom approx. Variable named "Intellectual property" using a batch file that runs at startup. See this article:
  • Info-bubble/metatext when I go is not displayed since the upgrade to 22

    Since v22.0 UPDATE when I hover over icons on my page in the history of purchase on ebay it not lonely appears with information such as "Paid" a similar report last year, I suspect it's because I'm using the Google toolbar.
    Any chance of a solution please?

    NB. Yes, Google Toolbar is discouraged because it is not supported, must be hacked to work and I have to use the Compatibility Checker (disabler) but I have to use the Google toolbar. I and a number of other people use Google toolbar to share bookmarks widely on many machines, and none of the proposed alternatives offer what it takes in the bookmarks and other w features using a unique toolbar!
    If a solution does not appear, soon we will have to go back to 21 of FireFox. or switch to Chrome.

    I installed the add-on "URL Tooltip" and my stationary links are back. Thank you very much.

  • 'My computer' - icon of 'computer '.

    Maybe someone can answer this.

    Today, I turned on PC. When it was fully initialized icon and it relies on the"desktop" had changed its name, below, of "Computer" to the number "23".

    I ran my Avast AV scan on system with no bad results.

    Did an update AV and the scan run with nothing found.

    Did a reboot and still "23".

    I checked Win Update to see which updates 10/02/2016 (last updated) can reveal a clue. There was no list of updates from 10/02/2016 even if I remember to update and restarted successfully.

    I always, check after update of windows, "History of revision update" to make sure that the updates were successful.

    And today, there is no history of it.

    I did a system restore from 23/09/2016 (critical update restore point).

    The system successfully restored and the name of the icon "Computer" was back.

    Completing an update of window that shows successful.

    Seems to work OK.

    Does anyone know what has caused the change of name of icon to a number?

    You can right-click on the icon and select Rename.

  • Info-bubble-Widget problems with Mobile and Tablet (not able to close the target)

    , I created a menu droptown with the ToolTip widget. Why ist there is no option to hide the goal of 'no click' in the latest version of muse (sensitive)? Is there such an option in the latest version. Now I choose the option to hide "on deployment of trigger and target"-this works perfectly on the desktop, but not on mobile or tablet. When I point to the menu icon (trigger) on mobile or tablet, it opens the target, but there is no way to close it. What can I do? Can you help me with this? Thank you!

    OK, sorry guys, I just found the root of my problem. I chose "the reversal" to display the target container. When this ist is selected, the option "click" to hide the target disappears. If a "click" only works when selected for display and the concealment of the target...

    Unfortunately, you have not included all the details on your system or what version of Internet Explorer you are using.

    This could be because when you post a new question in the forum, you are not reminded to provide this information.

    If the workstation appears in Internet explore is something new and you have not changed it, something has changed for you.  You should do a few scans for malware first and see if obvious infections are the cause of this 'new' in your Internet Explorer.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    Here is an article on a method, security that you can read which describes how the workstation is usually added to the Microsoft security zone:

    There is no exit without save changes or cancel the registry editor functionality, so if you decide to implement these adjustments (it does not hurt to just look and see what you have now), you must back up your registry first.

    Before making any changes to your registry, save it with this free and popular tool:

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • HP 4500: No HP icon on computer

    I've set up the printer and I can print from my computer.  However, when I try to scan a document the printer message reads "none found computer. Make sure that the printer software is installed on your computer and that "analysis of the computer" is enabled. "I guess that the printer software is installed because I can print from my computer.  I can't find where to turn "scan to computer".  There is no option when I go to my "printers" under the settings on my computer.

    Thanks ShlomiL!  I had already crossed the Printers & Scanners under system preferences.  This would appear to make the printer scanner but do not seem to move the scan anywhere on my computer.  I tried to use Image Capture and didn't get the error message 'no scanner or camera connected.  However, I installed the HP Easy Scan soft and that worked.  Thank you very much.

  • 11 Acrobat & FormsCentral keeps info & forms only on my computer or what a cloud Server

    I am considering upgrading to Acrobat XI due to the characteristics of Central forms, but I don't want my forms and information they collect on a server cloud for reasons that are not negotiable. I want to use the forms and responses on a local computer and be able t ouse forms by other means. I guess I can just create my own forms, but the answers are useless to me, if they are on a different server.

    (1) can I save on my hard drive form templates? (my first experience with the Central Office of app forms suggests that they may not be saved on my hard drive.)

    (2) if the Foundation SHOULD be sent to a FormsCentral server, download the details of my HD?

    (3) delete the responses from the server FormsCentral?

    The main thing FormsCentral gives you is a reliable and safe way to collect form data, without any programming on your part required. The shape can be a web form created with the designer of FormsCentral, a PDF file generated from a form created with the designer of FormsCentral or a PDF form created with Acrobat.

    If you want to use a PDF form which submit to the FormsCentral service, you have that option. Users may use e-mail or other means for you will be given a completed form.

    If you choose to implement the form to submit to the FormsCentral service, you can download the data of the form on your computer and delete all data on the server.

    There are a number of other features available with FormsCentral, even if some are not available with PDF Forms.
