  Hello OTMarty,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  What version of XP are you using? If you use professional or higher, you can use gpedit.msc to deactivate access to view, however you will lose access to it in all accounts except if you select a second time to make changes.

  Your administor account using:

  -Click on Start

  -Type gpedit.msc
     - -Click OK

  Group Policy Editor opens

  In the left pane, click User Configuration .
  From the right pane double-click Administrative Templates, double-click Control Panel

  - , Double-click Hide specified control panel applets
     -Select the radio Enable button
  -In the window below and click Show , and the POPs Show content
  -Click Add on the right and Add a window
  - Display type, and then click OK
     -Click OK again
  -Close the Group Policy Editor

  Display is now disabled. However, remember to turn off your policy when you change your display properties, and then turn on again in the Group Policy Editor.

• Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

  Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

  I find the way to text size too small in most news reader applications.  Looks like you should be able to increase or decrease the text size the same thing you do in a browser using CTRL + or CTRL-, or your mouse wheel.

  You can increase the size of the text on the desktop, but it doesn't have any effect on the subway, or whatever you call it today.

  Probably, there should be a setting to increase the size of the text under settings of PC!

  IMO, I would probably find a lot of people out there wouldn't buy a W8 Tablet since the text is to small to read!  This has fixed as soon as POSSIBLE!

  Edit: I noticed that a lot of Apps is updated to help with this problem.  Unfortunately not on the main screen of App, if you select an item to read the improvement will become visible or selectable.

  Hello

  On the start screen simply type the word "police" and select the filter settings on the right.  You should see an option 'Make text and other items more or less '.  Click on that and adjust the text or at the desired size.

  -Curt

  These instructions don't change the DPI of the screen ratio when it is in the classic user of Windows interface. The new interface Windows username however does not change when this setting is changed (which, in itself, is rather unfortunate).

  The only way to change the font size of Windows apps Store is as follows:

  1. click on the Start button to get the new user of Windows interface

  2 start typing 'police' (without the quotes)

  3. click on "settings".

  4. click on "enlarge everything on your screen; This opens the settings of PC (which is different from the classic Configuration screen)

  5. set "Enlarge everything on your screen" on it.

  Personally, I still find it too small for a lot of apps, but it's a small improvement on the default settings.

• Is there a way to check the product key on Windows 7

  Ladies and gentlemen

  Tablet of my wife is pre-installed with Win 7 and twice in recent years I needed to reinstall. The tablet with Windows 7 pre-installed and included the disc. I now find I need reintall again as complaints about the machine being slow emanate from the kitchen. While I wrote down the product key for the program that I find now that I have is to not store this piece of paper very solidly and can no longer find it. This raises a few questions. One option is to download the ISO file and install. I did, but it asks for the key of product, which was not really surprising. I have a desktop computer, but is there a way to get the product key without doing a full installation of Windows 7 on the desktop? I'm a bit lazy and do not want to save the office first, if it is not necessary.

  Thanks for your advice.

• Unable to access the control panel in Windows 7

  When I try to open the Control Panel, the icon appears in the taskbar, then I see the control panel real screen disappear off the coast to the right of the screen. "When I click the icon on the taskbar again, I can see the screen"Shuttlecocks"back" but it will not be open on the screen, so I can use it no matter what I try. What is the cause? I was able to use the control panel the day I booted up my new PC, but have not been able to use it since then. Then the only thing I've changed after the start-up of the first time he was my desktop theme... Help, please! Thank you.

  Nevermind, I resolved. Found the settings indicating that I had two monitors put in place. Once I put it to a monitor, the problem has been resolved. Have a great day! Just connect "newbie to Win7" :-)

  See if that helps.

• is there a way to make the icons remain in the same places and not move when I turned off and restart my desktop computer? I like to keep the icons where I put them.

  I do a lot of important writing, and it would be so much nicer if the icons of file would be left in the same positions on the desktop, so that when I started working I don't panic, thinking that some kind an important file has been lost. Please help me understand how to set up my office to keep my icons in place, if possible. Thank you!

  Make sure the settings are as the other poster said.

  This could happen if the Explorer doesn't correctly. The positions of icons are saved at the stop.

  • Close Windows Explorer
  • Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator.
  • Click Start. Ctrl + Shift + Right-click on an empty spot (just above the power of buttons is one place) then Exit Explorer.
  • Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete then Task Manager.

  Then to restart Explorer
  • Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and choose Task Manager
  • In the Task Manager, click the file menu and then click new task (run) and enter explorer

• Windows Explorer Crash when using the control panel

  This is the type of an interesting question that happens to me only sporadically and usually only to a cold start.

  When I shut down the computer completely for cleaning or install something, when restarting, open the Control Panel causes Windows Explorer to crash (note that this is not Internet Explorer).
  
  It restarts immediately, but I lost some of the icons in the taskbar - especially the icon Sound Max.

  If I do a reboot it comes back and I can use the Control Panel normally. Tried to remove items from the start menu, as obviously something is in conflict when it starts but it is like shooting in the dark to find the good start. I even reinstalled W7 with a lot of attention, but it happens once again from time to time. I ran sfc/scannow several times and all is well.

  As long as I don't do a cold reboot it will work very well for weeks without a hitch. (Please no comments about just don't).

  Someone else has a similar problem? My specs are lower and it has not changed when I updated to the latest version of the bios so I suspect something on W7, and I strongly suspect the driver SoundMax which is in fact very old for W7X64.

  All updates are underway, including the latest which was supposed to increase stability for W7 X 64. I had added this update 4/28. An accident 29/4 good. I uninstalled the update and re-installed directly from the microsoft link. Sometimes it works, but not in this case.

  I studied all the information mentioned in the error codes and most of the time, it led to speculation of different people to different causes. I've read that it could be a conflict with the driver Sound Max, this is why I suspect as well that it might involve the Nvidia GPU driver. Changed the GPU driver and no joy. Whenever I have ask W7 to check a solution that is not found. So, it happens once in a while, but there is nothing wrong? At least Microsoft knows something is happening--evidence of the update.

  Hello

  Make sure that Windows Update is turned on and install the update KB980408 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980408) - April 2010 stability and reliability update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 is available .

  Issues that this update fixes this update improves the stability and reliability of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 in various scenarios. This update addresses the following issues:

  • Windows Explorer crashes and then restarts when you access a third-party Control Panel item.

  This update solves the problem?

  If this isn't the case, please download this reg from my SkyDrive file:
  http://CID-128fc518635be2dc.SkyDrive.live.com/self.aspx/.public/Ms%20Foren/registry/WER%5E_Explorer.reg

  and double click on the file to import.

  When Explorer crashes, Windows Error Reporting Service creates a dmp under C:\Localdumps . Please download the file to your public Skydrive folder and post the link here. I take to the dump, maybe I can see the cause.
