• How to adjust the maximum number of results of a particular type when searching in the start menu?

  When searching in the start menu, windows 7 displays only the first 3 shortcuts that match a search term, then displays documents and other file type matches.

• Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account, how can I stop this?

  Search in the start menu displays old emails from my Hotmail account. I find it tiresome and very secure as anyone who uses my computer can read my emails.  I guess my computer is somehow related to my Windows Live account. I did a search for these emails in my Hotmail account and they don't even exist.

  How can I go to stop this? I tried to look in the Windows Live options but couldn't find anything. Thank you

  These files are probably within your e-mail program on your computer (for example, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or another program).

  You can turn off the messages to appear in the search results, but anyone could still just open your e-mail program and snooping.  The only way to be really sure is to use a password on your computer and let other people use a guest account (or make their own account).

• When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

  Original title:

  Start menu

  When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

  I want that these emails deleted permanently and is not presented on the search menu. How can I do this?

  The search system is performing one analysis every few hours to check what's new.  Looks like you deleted emails but the scan has not yet executed.

  If you find that the scan never works at all, you can rebuild the search system by opening the Indexing Options (search to find it) and click on rebuild indexes.

• Indexing options and search for Windows 7 are not locate content of the document since "update" Open Office 3.3 3.4 (he worked for 2 years before that)?

  I have Win 7 with Service Pack 1. I have "updated my Open Office 3.3 to 3.4 and now Win 7 search and options DO NOT locate my document content indexing more? I contacted the support of Open Office: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=55483

  They claim that: "indexing and search in Windows 7 are performed by Windows 7", so there is a problem with Win 7 search and indexing options.

  I checked the indexing options in Windows 7 and the "Index Properties and content of the file" is selected for ALL the 'odt' as well as all the files 'o'.

  I set up a test document: I put only one word "Wednesday" in the Open Office text document, saved and it called "text". I am looking for Wednesday and the search comes up with two other documents containing the word Wednesday in them, but not the Test document?

  I just discovered something. When I did the 'Test' experience above, the file was saved in format 'odt' a:. I changed it to a ".doc" file and it now appears in the search results. As mentioned above, I've changed ALL the files starting with the letter 'o' in Indexing Options > Advanced Options > Types of files to the article: 'properties Index and contents of the file. The description of filter for files 'odt' comes back as: "IFilter shop OpenOffice IFilter" where as 'doc' filter is listed as a: «Filter Microsoft Office» Is it a "Boutique OpenOffice IFilter IFilter: issue" Blocking "the documents appear in the search results? If so, how should I do (I mean in addition to all the documents 'odt' replacing 'doc'?

  Just to clarify: document names 'odt' come to a search, but not the content document.

• No option has worked at the start of vista & no CD provided with the computer!

  I tried all the options (boot recovery, System Restore, memory something or other, etc) and nothing won't boot up to vista. It puts me in a vicious cycle of hit ctrl alt + delete to restart again and again. I have tried absolutely every single option. I can get the bios of course but that's all. I don't see anything else. I have no Vista CD because I bought the computer from comp usa so I can't even try to start with a CD. I want to do a clean install, but I guess that's not possible with no CD :-(  I just need to crash the computer in the trash?  I am disabled so I have no money for a new CD of windows, they are simply too expensive.

  Thank you

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Search on the start menu does not remember recently opened programs and files

  "" Search programs and files "bar in the menu 'Start' to remember what has been typed"
  Is it really possible that MS desinged this search bar without the ability to remember what has been typed recently? I'm sure this isn't, so can you help me find the option that allows me to turn it on. In the contrary case, retype repeatedly repeated orders in the bar!

  I found a way to save at least research. See the link: http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-12843_11-94748.html?tag=nl.e064

  How to READ the text to find?  especially I need help with the features in Windows 7 no files, records, etc.

  The only way to make it work is to KILL the classic menu, return to native Windows and use the search box, but that requires initialization, etc..

• Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

  Original title: Administrator group of experts.

  On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

  It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

  If you see things like this:

  You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
  The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
  System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
  The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
  The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
  The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
  The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
  The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

  The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

  If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

  You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

  Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

  If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

  The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

  You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

  No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

  If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

  These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

  Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

  Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

  Reboot your system and test.

• OSMF with HTTP data stream search resets the starting index...

  Hello

  I built an OSMF player that allows users to get to where they were during the recovery, but also to rub at the beginning.

  FOR EXAMPLE:

  A flow is 1 minute.

  The user starts playing in 25 seconds.

  The user can rub-5 seconds or transmit to 55 seconds.

  It works perfectly with RTMP - TimeTrait reports correctly and video is displayed correctly.

  FOR EXAMPLE:

  Start at 25 seconds, TimeTrait reports: duration = 60, current position = 25 and video display is 25.

  Seek to rewinds 5 seconds to the current duration = 60, position = 5, video display is 5.

  But...

  With the HTTP stream...

  Start at 25 seconds. TimeTrait reports: duration = 60, current position = 25 and video display is 50.

  Search rewinds 5 seconds before the beginning of the stream and give me a media full... end of the stream.

  Start at 30 seconds, TimeTrait reports length = 60, current position = 30 and the video display is 60 Yes give me a media full... end of the stream.

  It is quite clear that what is happening is that search HTTP stream reset my starting index to the point of looking as if I had started to play with:

  NetStream.play (seekPoint);

  Rather than:

  NetStream.play();

  NetStream.seek (seekPoint);

  This, I hasten to add, is a terrible problem from the point of view of my client because it means actually I can't resume content.

  Does anyone have ideas, workarounds?

  G

  After digging in OSMF code I found a SOLUTION:

  First of all, make sure you have the latest OSMF source inside your project.

  For now it is 2.0.71 (org.osmf.utils.Version).

  Go to org.osmf.net.httpstreaming.HTTPNetStream

  and make a few changes:

  1 change the line # 1441

  _initialTime = _dvrInfo! = null? _dvrInfo.StartTime: currentTime;

  TO
  

  _initialTime = _dvrInfo! = null? _dvrInfo.StartTime: (_seekTime > 0? _playStart: currentTime);

  2. change the line # 1496

  _initialTime = currentTime

  TO

  _initialTime = _seekTime > 0? _playStart: currentTime

  That's all!

  Now you can listen to MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent.CAN_SEEK_CHANGE event

  and immediately.

  By the way: If you're going to find all the bugs related to this change feel free to post them here!

• In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

  I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

  Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

  If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.

  I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
  In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
  Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
  There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
  As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
  Thanks a lot for your time!
