• When you try to start the programs of their shortcuts, I always get a window MS-DOS pop up

  When you try to start the programs of their shortcuts, I always get a window MS-DOS pop up.  The header says 16-bit subsystem MS_DOS.  For example, when you try to start Microsoft Word, the message says:

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu demarrer\programmes\microsoft Office\Microsoft Office Word 2003.lnk program invalid file name, please check your pif file.

  I can start the program by clicking on any document in my documents file, however.  I know that something is messed up in the registry (we had a bad worm (MS Removal Tool).  However, I can't a registry cleaner to open.  I used a WinXP_EXE_Fix.reg to try to fix the missing exe file.  He has set a number of things, but still will not let me run a registry clean.

  Any help?

• Set the size of the window for DOS applications running on the Windows XP Pro machine

  I have some old Basic (QBasic, Flodraw) DOS programs I still want to run occaisionally. 2002 was the last time I used them, so I don't know what OS was running then. When I run the application now that open windows are not ideally sized, the Flodraw is too big, I can't see it as much of the screen as I would, and QBasic is too small to get enough text to keep my train of thought.

  Anyone know how I can get control of the size of the window? I need create .pif or something like that?

  Thank you.

  Right click on the shortcut for the program icon, and then click Properties. You will see where you can set the size. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• The key macro for windows touch mouse explore

  Hello. I'm a new user in OneNote and one of the features that I love is the copy - paste into OneNote.

  To access this feature with the keyboard, the key combination is 'Windows key + s'.  I bought the Explorer touch mouse with the intention to reassign one of the buttons of the mouse to perform the 'Windows key + s' command.
  There is the possibility to add a macro in the basic commands and there is the possibility to choose a special key (Windows key), but this does not work in the implementation of the macro. When I press the assigned button, the taskbar appears for a second or two and a letter 's' appears on which window is active, but I can't figure out how to get the "Windows key + s' feature.
  Ideas?

  Hi Roger,

  You can change the shortcut to a macro, to so proceed as follows:

  a. open Microsoft Office word (changes will reflect on all Microsoft Office applications)

  b. click the Microsoft Office button, and then click Word Options.

  c. click Customize.

  d. side of keyboard shortcuts, click Customize.

  e. in the categories list, click Macros.

  f. in the list of Macros , click the macro that you want to change.

  g. in the field Press new shortcut key , type the key combination you want to choose.

  h. check the current keys box to make sure that you're not assign a key combination that you already use to perform a different task.

  i. in the list record in , click the option that matches where you want to run your macro.

  Important: To allow your macro in all documents, do not forget to click Normal.dotm.

  j. click close.

• Macro switch window mouse no longer works on Windows 8

  I have a simple macro to switch window I've used for years on Windows 7. Here is the content of the file macro mhm , produced by Centre of keyboard and Microsoft mouse:

  
   56
   10
   15
   10
   15
   10
   56
  

  As you can see, it is a simple Alt + Tab sequence. It works fine on Windows 7 (and in a computer virtual from Windows 7 on my new machine Windows 8), but has no effect on Windows 8. I tried the "Next window" option, with mixed results (he has a bad habit of jumping to the window, as if cycling through each window open; and it does not work with the new Windows Store applications).

  How can I get the simple Alt + Tab feature works on Windows 8? Thank you!

  I just bought a Sculpt Comfort Mouse. Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce nubi2kof macro on the mouse and keyboard Centre 2.3.

  I guess Alt + Esc as S3rgio suggested mapping, works for most people. You can do this on the mouse and keyboard Centre 2.3 (without using AutoHotKey), although...

  The problem with Alt + ESC is that it does not work with Metro applications and you cannot switch between two applications, as you can do it with Alt + Tab. So I ended up doing an AutoHotKey Script to try to imitate the behavior of Alt + Tab and the mapping of the mouse for this shortcut key (Win + N in my case):

  #n ::

  AltTabTimeout: = 2000
  SleepBetweenKeys: = 10
  DesktopClass: = 'WorkerW. '
  If (A_PriorHotkey = A_ThisHotkey & A_TimeSincePriorHotkey)<>
  WinGetClass, activeWindowClass, A
  If (activeWindowClass = DesktopClass) {}
  inverse: = 1
  } else {}
  If (reverse % = 0) {}
  AltTabCount: = ++ AltTabCount
  } else {}
  AltTabCount: = - AltTabCount
  If (% AltTabCount % = 0) {}
  inverse: = 0
  }
  }
  }
  } else {}
  AltTabCount: = 0
  inverse: = 0
  }
  Run C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk
  Sleep, SleepBetweenKeys %
  Loop, % AltTabCount % {}
  Sleep, SleepBetweenKeys %
  SendInput {Tab}
  }
  Sleep, SleepBetweenKeys %
  SendInput {return}
  return

  I hope this helps...

• Macros

  I want to know how to create macros with Windows Vista Business Edition. Vista has a recorder built in and I want to also do not know if it is not in the main program is elsewhere? I have Office Professional 2007 and I am disabled, I'd like to be able to do macros the application so that I can assign just one or two key passages to run. Macros of text would be nice too. I remember the .bat files the old days BACK. It was long, but I imagine that the technology will allow me to do these things faster and easier than it was 30 years ago. I hunted for the answer on the internet for what I thought would be a simple matter but have been unable to get a simple answer to make macros with Vista Business Edition. I don't have a lot of money and I know there are macro-enregistreurs out there, but I can't afford to buy one now. If Vista has nothing and my office is can you please recommend the best possible free software?

• WHO OWNS AND RUNS THE WINDOWS/TEMP FOLDER?

  In some other recent discussions, we discussed an incident that looked like initially to a denial of Hack Service, in which an application presenting a malfunction stored files more daily in the folder w/t on my computer at home until they have got to be 40 GB in size, eventually turning off my computer because the hard drive was full.  The MVP took me through a series of 3rd - party / Windows Explorer/DOS scripts to identify and then to get rid of these files of zombie.  It was difficult because the application that generated gave them them the hidden attribute.  That made it difficult for the user to companion to see or delete.  My short term problem is resolved.  I'm still not sure that I have correctly identified the culprit.  The names of the offending files looked at with etilqs, which is sqlite spelled backwards.  In Googling that name, I see that many software companies, which some I use, have caused similar problems.

  Long term I watch 170 folders and files still stored in Temp.  They are all relatively small, but some date back to 2006.  Many come divisions of Microsoft.  The name Temp seems to imply that they should all disappear some time, for example in a month.

  1. as long as the administrator of my computer at home, am I expected to inspect this file regularly and clean up what I suspect is obsolete, useless data?   There is something dangerous with the removal of just over a month old?

  2. If I detect what seems to be a misuse of the folder should I declare that Microsoft, FBI or who?  This authority will get the offending party to leave their unsafe practices?

  3 applications to store temporary files with the hidden attribute, or any other attribute that inhibits the Windows disk utility clean erase them?  Which applies this rule?

  4. Why isn't a utility routine by clean obsolete Temp files and let Windows users of companion remain happily ignorant of these questions?

  In short, MS has put this folder on my drive.  They have no responsibility to the limit who can put things here, if they can be hidden files or any other quality and cleaning issues or that is my responsibility as owner?

  These topics can give ideas to the inactive spirits.  Should they be treated elsewhere?

  Hello

  1. What do you mean Detect / wrong use of the Temp folder?

  Nothing dangerous on delete temporary files. Most programs will delete the temporary files when the program closes.

  If you feel that someone is trying to get into their computer, make sure that all their security programs are up to date and working correctly.

• Why my windows vista work with java version is used?

  I have windows vista 7 and Java to binary. When I try to use some web page an errow comes up saying, Java is not compatible with my version of windows.IT dose not say what version of all I need to make it worh. Can anyone help?

  If you have not installed another browser like Google Chrome, Safari, etc..., then Internet Explorer will be the only listed brower because it comes with Windows.  You can use IE with other browsers installed.

  This is the site that is faulty. I disabled all Add ons, IE running as an administrator and nothing happens when it comes to video or sound.

  If this is the only site you had trouble with, so I would suggest you file a bug with IE problem connect your comments.

• List of copy of the files from Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application...

  Windows will always add something, or a menu item to copy a list of files in Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application?  I would like to run a DOS command (dir c: /s > c - example.txt) as I did years ago, but as I'm sure your aware, constantly been availible for years and your virtualization Windows MS-DOS command line is incompatible with my new computer... All solutions would be grately appreciated.

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hi Dave,.

  I have good news for you:

  There are two ways to do what you want:

  The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

  1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
  2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
  3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

  A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

  A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

  I hope this helps!

  P.S., A command line similar to BACK tool is still (and always has been) available.  On the start menu, select: Start -> all programs -> Accessories -> command prompt.  Or you can just run: CMD.exe

• Panzer General 2 windows 7

  Hi all

  I have an old favorite game that worked on all versions of windows from DOS 3.1 to XP but now does not work on Windows 7.

  The game's Panzer General 2 by SSI, original, released in approximately 1997 CD (I think).

  When I try to install it on Win7, I get the following messages:

  The program or feature "\?". \D:\SETUP. "EXE" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions... Please contact the seller of softeware to ask if there is a compatible version of Windows 64-bit. "

  I click on OK, then I get:

  Didn't work: result: 216

  I cannot find a compatible version of 64 buit - please help - I love this game...

  Thank you

  Rich

  I'm sorry, but as says the error message, you cannot run this program under Windows 7 64-bit. You can try an emulator LIKEDOSBox . MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
