Optimize windows XP automatically

How can I configure windows xp to automatically maximize all windows?  It drives me crazy! help please. I used the arrow keys to optimize then shift & close. But as soon as I turned off the computer and launch it then again he goes back to automatically min windows.

This registry hack optimizes windows by default when they open!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"MaximizeApps" = DWORD: 00000001

copy paste bold text in a Notepad file and click Save as
now give the file name as maximize.reg and select the file type all files and click Save.
now, double-click the output files to add it to the registry...

Note:-it is always recommended to backup your registry before playing with her...

Kind regards

  • Windows xp automatic camera detection

    Hey,.
    I have an Olympus Stylus Tough-3000 digital camera and Windows XP Professional. It works on my Windows 7 computer, but when I plug it to my XP computer, all I hear is the sound, and then get a box that says 'choose what program to use with your device.' There is not in the list, so I downloaded Picasa 3, but it won't work. And when I go to scanners and cameras then plug my camera, my camera icon appears briefly and then disappears. Help, please!

    Maybe something in the following collection of suggestions (already posted
    in the MS newsgroups) will shed light.

    Before that you connect your device to your computer, make sure that you have enough
    battery power or better yet use your AC connector if your camera came with
    one. Then check the manual of your camera.  With most cameras, you put simply
    on and set to take pictures with others, you need to put in
    something like connect to the PC or define the PTP. After the connection, power of the camera
    and wait about 15 to 20 seconds for XP to recognize the camera, you will hear
    some his "Ding Dong" and the LCD screen of your camera will change (the
    change is dependent on the type of camera you have) and you are now ready to
    transfer, even if the AutoPlay window does not open automatically.  If you
    do not hear a sound or the LCD screen of your camera does not change, the
    the USB connection is not correct. Go to the bottom of these
    directions to repair the USB connection.

     
    After hearing the sound:
     
    1. open my computer, look under devices with removable storage. Your camera
    (or card reader) appears as an external drive (probably listed
    below of your CD-ROM drive). Right-click on your camera listed as an external
    drive. A menu opens, click on AutoPlay listed in the opening menu. This
    should open the AutoPlay window to download your photos the same way as when
    the AutoPlay window opens automatically when you connect your camera.
     
    Or
     
    2. open my computer, look under devices with removable storage. Your camera
    appears as an external drive (probably listed below your CD
    by car). Double-click it to open it.
    You will see a folder, double-click it to open it, and then another folder, double
    click it to open it and you will see the list of photo files. Select all
    the files and copy them to a folder on your hard drive. To select all files, press and hold the
    Hold CTRL key and press the letter A. Or, click on edit on your top bar and
    then click Select all in the opening menu. When the files are selected, their
    the names are highlighted in blue.   You can then see the menu on the left
    file names and click on copy, then select the folder you want or
    Create a new folder.

    If you want to repair the automatic AutoPlay window you can try the
    Next.

    Different ways of trying to fix the window of Autorun for download from
    camera or card reader. Also, the same procedure can be used for a CD
    drive AutoPlay.

    Go I-V steps, although V step may not be necessary.

    I. connect your camera (or a card reader) to your computer and make sure that you
    have pictures on your memory card. Make sure that your batteries are equal to or greater
    again, use your power adapter if your camera came with a. If you try
    just connect with a card reader, with an inserted memory card and
    photos on the memory card. Turn on the device, wait 10 to 15 seconds for XP
    to recognize, you should hear a sound and the LCD screen of your camera
    will change, change is dependent on the type of camera you have.

    Click on my computer and look under the device with removable storage. Your


    camera appears, probably under your CD player and a player
    letter will be assigned to it (something like the H, G, etc.). You will use this
    The drive letter in a step below, so just note it on what the drive letter is.
    If you don't see your camera listed there, you'll need to fix your USB
    connection (see below for repair), or you are on a network and the network
    Player is Z and XP cannot assign a drive letter to your camera. You will need
    take care of that first. The following steps will not work if XP cannot be attributed
    a drive letter for your camera. In some cases, your camera may be listed
    but no drive letter. Try the drive letter after the CD or DVD drive
    registered at the camera.

    II. Click Start, click Run, and type the following command in the text box:
    REGSVR32 SHIMGVW. DLL
    and press enter
    Note that there is a space between... 32 and SHI...
    This will take a few seconds to run.

    III. download the file autofix.exe site below.  At this Microsoft
    site, you have the possibility to download the autofix.exe file in one of your
    folder (or create a new folder, and then save the file it), then open the folder
    Double-click the file, and then follow the instructions on the screen. Or,
    Let Microsoft scan your computer for repair. You will need your
    drive letter of camera during this step.  After that, restart your computer.

    IV. after reboot, power on, wait 10 to 15 seconds for XP
    recognize it, you should hear a beep and the AutoPlay window
    should now open giving you the opportunity to download pictures from the camera.

    V. you may need to set the options in this window.
    Click on my computer, your camera must be registered the peripheral with slot
    Removable storage. Right-click on it and click Properties. When opening
    window, click the AutoPlay tab, under Select, highlight the pictures to
    Select it. Select the warn me...  Do the same thing for a CD player.

     
    Another solution posted by Bill, using a Nikon camera.

    I installed the camera through the Control Panel Add Hardware feature. He went
    point of requiring a file called ptspusd.dll from the service pack, a. I have
    found the file via search on my hard drive. Type the path in the window
    who asked for her and she had. Solved the problem. See Configure your menu on
    the camera to see your USB setting is PTP

     
    To repair your USB connection:

    Go to control panel > performance and maintenance > system > hardware > device
    Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controller, click the plus sign + to see the list
    arrangements in place. If your device is connected, it must be registered with
    with a yellow flag (the yellow flag indicates that although the connection)
    is there, it does not correctly).

    Make a right click on it > properties > troubleshooting. See if the convenience store can
    Help. If this is not the case, click Action in the top bar, and then click Uninstall. Let your
    camera on and connected and reboot. XP should now recognize the camera and
    install it (I assume here that your camera is fully compatible with XP
    and according to your manual, you don't need to install a driver, that
    must be true for the cameras of 2001 and more).

     
    Also, make sure the software you use for photo editing. When you open the
    software, click file in the upper bar. Consult the opening menu. You
    probably have an option to download photos from a camera or a scanner or
    card reader.
     
    Something else could be the problem (this is a more recent, June 2004,

    problem) as shown here:

    All of a sudden there are not a lot of posts here on the camera wizard
    work. Same thing for me after work for at least a year. An of the
    messages mentioned the upgrade to Real Player seems to cause the problem. I have
    recently updated that also. Just uninstall my camera assistant and it came
    immediate return - this after weeks of trying to figure out what went wrong!
    --
    Brigit

     
    (Note: some have reported that uninstalling Real Player 10 works fine,)
    others have reported that they had to use the autofix.exe after removing
    Real Player 10. Real Player is aware of the problem and working on a fix).
    Apparently, he had no problem with Real Player 9.

    Another possible solution.

    Click Start, click Run, and type the following command in the open text box:

    cmd

    Press the Enter key

    A window opens (black and white) and displays the following text:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Votre name Name\

    Type the following at the end of the above line after the.

    Net start stisvc

    Press the Enter key

    You will receive a message that service is already started (if if it does not work)
    solve the problem) or it starts (if if it can solve the)
    problem). Then try to connect to your camera after you close this window. TO


    Close this window, type EXIT at the end of the displayed line and press on the
    Enter the key.

    I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows Vista business with service pack 2 installed and kept up-to-date. I noticed that, after a few minutes of inactivity on my computer, Windows locks automatically the computer.

  • keyboard no one and several windows opens automatically

    The last few days Ive seen the following problems with my laptop:

    1. on a normal startup

    several windows open automatically without prompting to the keyboard. The first window is usually the Help window, and then opens the default browser window as well. 10 - 15windows opens in a duration of one minute and continue until I manually closethem or at the end of the process in the Task Manager.

    This experience on the admin user and others

    2. Alternatively on the boot of startup window stops and asked to choose an operating system.  This machine has only win7 on it. no option cannot be selected as keyboard stubbornly inactive you.

    3.

    If by chance the machine decides to start, I can not connect to the user, because the keyboard is not responsive

    If I get the admin user for which I have no password... anything can be typed keyboard non-responsive rest like a potato.

    It seemed that the keyboard was defective, so ive got changed, but the problem persists.

    Help, please.

    Of course, it looks like infections are present.

    Run ADWcleaner https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ it's free and one of the only malware cleanup tools that I trust.  Malwarebytes can be used, but be careful to not take the trial or use the pro version.  Virtually all the removal tools known as maleware are in themselves of malware.

    If you are unable to get sufficient control, download ADWcleaner into the USB port on another computer.

    I assume you mean to Internet Explorer (IE)?  If you are, reset

    Tools, Internet Options, advanced.

    Multiple OS question at the start is usually someone re - install Win7, but unless you first delete the existing partition.

    Now, this is a controversial subject, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

    When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

    I care about 140 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.

    Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on more than half of these PC so far and has never been a problem.  In fact, I think it's a better product than even Norton.  One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  It is also cheap.

    My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that the other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS caused more problems than any profit that they bring and work primarily by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  My problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

    As I said.  It is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

    Another thing you need to know: you can delete not entirely of most any AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • Records and other windows are automatically deselected AND rattling?

    This just started today, I have not installed anything changed recently, not all parameters, not doing something unusual. I ran virus checkers, etc. anything.

    Randomly in short intervals, Windows is automatically any window deselection I currently have open - file, browser, Editor, no matter. Then just after, there are several sounds, almost in a regular pattern, such as «click, click, click...» Click (pause)... "so there will be 1 or 2 minutes where everything works normally and then the cycle repeats. Clicks are the ones you get when you go forward or backward in the file browser.

    It's almost as if my mouse is automatically by clicking on the desktop. Open window is deselected, and I have to click in the window that I just used. It's so weird, but it's the best description of what is happening.

    I even changed mouse from my wireless to a wired thinking there was something wrong with it, but I have the same problem. I put on as well.

    Help

    Hello

    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check them off if they help.

    Step 1:

    The issue may be related to malicious software, you should download, install and use the Microsoft Security Scanner to remove the malicious software.

    Step 2:

    If this does not work, turn your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    Step 3:
     
    If it works fine in safe mode, there must be a third party software that is causing the problem to occur, this is why I suggest you put your computer in a clean boot state.

PC needs password to you connect on WHS to access the multimedia content of WHS. tried using the account invited on WHS without success.

    Hi Peter,.

    You can make Windows 7 automatically connect using an applet of control but for obvious reasons (security), it is not recommended.

    If you want to do, you can do this with the following instructions:

    1. press the Windows Key and R
    2. in the Open box, type "control userpasswords2" - do not fully understand the quotes...
    3. you will now see a checkbox indicating "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer - it uncheck the box and enter your credentials."

    That's all.  When your computer starts now it log in automatically for you.  Now if you want to have the PC also start Windows Media Center software, you will need to put the shortcut in the startup folder in the start menu.  If you have any problems with this please let us know.

  • I can't disable WPAD (the windows proxy automatic detection) on my Windows 7 HB32.

    Hey guys,.

    I can't disable WPAD (the windows proxy automatic detection) on my Windows 7 HB32.

    In connection settings I have to disable the option "automatically detect connection settings", but after some time (or two days), this option becomes available again.

    Is it possible to completely disable WPAD on Windows 7?

    Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

    No, this isn't format the hard drive, what's done is put your existing version of Windows in a folder called "windows.old", it indeed erases old files of version and folders, leaving free space on the existing partition "NTFS" (formerly ocupied by your previous version of windows) in which is installed Windows 8.

    And "NTFS" is the only file system that supports Windows 8.

  • When you open a new window, it automatically loads the last content pop up (?) and I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

    I don't know if they are technically pop-up windows (for example, if you perform a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new window of priceline.com with the search results), but that happens with Blocker on or off. Other examples are a little info to a financial site window or .edu, which opens a session is about to expire, or answer a FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows have an address bar or view a URL). In any case, once these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of this "pop-up". Whenever he does, I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in this window.

    How can I fix it? What I want is to open a new window which is empty, not load the previous contents.

    No, I just realized that I was holding Command-Shift-N rather than command-N
