Shift + click on office selection horizontally when the items are listed vertically.

So, when you place the icons, shortcuts, applications etc on the desktop and put in alphabetical order, for example, they are listed by column then row, so file 'A' is the upper left corner and the 'B' folder would be directly underneath.

Same goes for sort by modification date and all the rest, but if I copy a bunch of pictures on the desk and try to shift + click to select, they are selected in the rows, if rather than selecting pictures, I get a load of unwanted things. Is it possible to fix or is - this just an intrinsic oddity because of how files have horizontally against the bureau organization vertically?

Unfortunately it is not something that you can remedy. Believe me, I searched for years on Windows 7 and 8.

When necessary, I usually open the files in a folder instead window so that it behaves a little more predictable in list view.

    Why is-strike (shift-") on my keyboard (@) key? When the other my keyboard is (update 2).

    Hi acesdie,

    Probably to do with the language of the keyboard. Shift + 2 is the American keyboard. Go to control panel and click the language and region. In the window of the region and language, click the keyboard and languages and then click on the button "change keyboards. What language is in the box 'default language'? If it's in the United Kingdom and you are not in the United Kingdom, then click the Add button and select English (United States). Click the plus (+) next to the English (United States) option and then click on the plus sign (+) next to the option "keyboard". Here you will see a list of the types of keyboards, i.e. the United States Dvorak, Dvorak to the United States for the left hand, etc. If you have a keyboard to type Dvorak, then select one of them; If this isn't the case, then I suggest to choose the United States (international) or simply WE. Then click on the arrow to the right of the box in the section "default input language" and select English (United States), and then click apply then OK.

  • My button mute in my launch buttons fast remains red when the speakers are not dumb.

    I have a Pavilion dv7-3165dx with win 7 Home premium pre-installed, and recently, I noticed that my button mute in the quick launch buttons stopped to change to white when the speakers are reactivated. I tried to install the latest drivers for the buttons to quick launch, which did not work. Someone solved a similar problem (button remained white when cut) by installing something, it calls the Total of HP Advisor and his advice, but I can't find the program.

  • MacBook randomly landed volume when the headphones are connected.

    Hey,.

    There is something wrong with my MacBook. When I plug my headphones, the Mac randomly landed the volume at any time. I thought the keyboard can be broken, but it doesn't happen when the headphones are connected so it may be a problem with the software (I think?). Has anyone experienced the same problem? Do you know how to fix this?

  • Field containing average function works only when the data are engaged on the same page. Does not work for fields on other pages.

    I'm having a problem with a field defined to calculate the average of eleven points fields (points 1 to 8 on page 1-9-11 on page 2). My original question was that it could exclude fields of points when they do not have information entered and adjust the average calculation (number of "divided by") accordingly.

    I had someone write JavaScript code for him, but I just found a small problem I don't know if it's something in the code or what the person who originally wrote the script cannot understand it either and suggested that I have post here.

    The middle area (located on the 2nd page of the pdf page two) seems to work exclusively with precision if at least one of the points of the fields on the 2nd page, 9, 10 (and 11) are engaged with the data. No values entered on the first page and only the first page, are for some reason any dividing by a more than expected. For example, if I fill the boxes 1, 2 and 3, it divides the total by four. If I filled just box 7, it halves. If I fill all 8 boxes on the 1st page, it divides by nine. It is corrected as soon as I get the points in one or more of the three boxes on the 2nd page points, suddenly the overall average is accurate. But if boxes 9, 10 and 11 contain no points, then the average is still inaccurate because the number of ' divide by "he uses is one more than what it should. I can't understand how to attach the form to this post, so I downloaded on Dropbox: Dropbox - used Evaluation.pdf.

    Under the direction of State: javascript came work to exclude the empty boxes when the points are entered in one of the three points of fields on the 2nd page (and more), but the average function is not accurate because it adds 1 to the number of ' divide by "in the calculation of the average If the points are only entered into the fields on the 1st page.

    Here's the code I entered in the 'Custom calculation Script' box in the 'Calculate' tab of the Properties menu of Test field:

    Initialize variables

    var num = 0;

    var sum = 0;

    Browse the input fields

    for (var i = 1; i < 12; i ++) {}

    var f = getField ("points." + i);

    If {(f.valueAsString)

    increment the counter to non-empty field

    NUM ++;

    Add the value of the running total field

    sum += + f.value;

    }

    }

    Calculate the average

    If {(num)

    Event.Value = sum / num;

    } else {}

    All fields are empty, then the empty value

    Event.Value = "";

    }

    I do not see that. Add the code of script debugging will display the results that each field is completed:

    Initialize variables
    var num = 0;
    var sum = 0;

    Browse the input fields
    for (var i = 1; i)< 12;="" i++)="">
    var f = getField ("points." + i);
    If {(f.valueAsString)
    increment the counter to non-empty field
    NUM ++;
    Add the value of the running total field
    sum += + f.value;
    }
    }
    Debug - display results as the form is filled;
    Console.Show
    Console.println (sum + "/" + num + "=" + sum/num);
    end of debugging;
    Calculate the average
    If {(num)
    Event.Value = sum / num;
    } else {}
    All fields are empty, then the empty value
    Event.Value = "";
    }

  • In the column of table when the values are grater that maximum linear axis it does not show the bar

    Hi guys,.

    In the column of table when the values are grater than there maximum linear axis it does not show the Bar.But I want to display the bar up to the maximum limit of the axis is linear without changing the limit max.

    Consider following the example:

    The values are 80 90 200 300

    and here is the result:

    Left: when I don't put maximum property of linear axis.

    Right: when I put in maximum property of linear axis to 200.

    Untitled.jpg

    Law 4th bar is not visible because the value of this bar is 300 which is excedding maxium. But I want the 4th bar to appear identical to 3 bar.

    How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Then you should change the value of Y to the maximum value.

    Another option, you should consider is changing the Render item column to reflect that the value is greater than the specified maximum value.

  • Stop method determines when the corruptions are repaired

    Hi all

    Above statement is 'Oracle 10g Ocp Guide of Certification all-in-one'. This statement "chosen shutdown method determines when the corruptions are repaired" is written in the section recovery instance.

    Now the question is, if we do normal stop, how can the database or instance to get corrupt?, Corruption can be occurred only because of the messy or 'give up' or any other breach. It can be detected only at the next startup. So this is the difficulty that corruptions are repaired at the start of the proceedings thus set out reference in question makes no sense.

    If someone can explain to me, what is submitted statement is all about?, I have.

    Thank you

  • My problem is: the photos are listed in descending order. I need them in ascending order.

    * Original title: Photo Arrangement

    I have a real problem with my understanding of photo.

    I am producing a slideshow on my travels in Asia over the period 2008-2015.

    All the photos are in individual folders by year. I also arranged their by the date.

    My problem is: the photos are listed in descending order.  I need them in increasing order - first photo of the last picture taken on a given date. Otherwise, I can't import individual files in my photoshow software because it displays the last picture taken 1.

    I can't find a link or an option to have this way.

    Does anyone know how to get the arranged in ascending order?

    With photos or anything else:

    You can sort the files in a folder by clicking on the header of the
    field you want to sort, such as the Date.

    You can reverse the sort order, down to bottom-up,
    or vice versa, by clicking on the header a second time.

  • Change the image when the drop-down list value form is selected

    I really thought that it would be easier but I can't function.

    I have a consignment of Paypal with a drop-down list. The list to select the color. I want to change an image on the page to display the correct color when the color is selected in the drop-down list. So a black image occurs when black is selected, a red when red - etc...

    I would be very grateful if anyone can share some brief, the browser compatible code. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Bill

    You are right that this is not as simple as you might think at first.  You asked for succinct, but there are several steps involved in mode Code (horror!)

    1) first add this script just before the closing tag () on your page head and then insert all your path/imagenames where see you mine.  Notice of the ORDER OF THE IMAGES must match the order of your choice to be called with the list of drop-down selection in your form! :

    2) in second place, in your form, add the below onchange event for thetag.  Note that in this example, the ID on the we will work with the tag is "theImg", change that, as needed.  If youdo not already own one identifying the tag (see further below), just use "theImg".

    So here's a form with a select field.  Use whatever values you need to do this, just add my onchange event as shown:


      <>name = "productColors" id = "productColors" onchange = "diva_imgBySel ('theImg', this.selectedIndex)"> "
       

    3) Finally, you can click on thetag, then click on the Tag/behavior window, click sound + plus sign and select "Preload Images" and adds all imagenames so they will appear more quickly when the selection list is used.

    Hope that all of the senses.

  • Selection of content in a container when the boxes are stacked.

    Hello

    It was very simple in quark, but I can't in InDesign.

    I have a box with a picture inside and a box of the same size she on top just for one rule, and no content.

    If I click on the box, I get the top, first, with the rule, then I select the object below and then I chose to select the content, but if I get the position tool or the direct Selection tool and click on it, I get the decoder with the rule. I want to be able to replace the image and see this cool ghost effect for how it is be cropped, but I am unable to stop the selected decoder. In Quark, once you got to the area of the image, you could select the content tool and reposition the image without it by selecting the top box.

    Is it possible to do the same thing without the use of layers or lock the object.

    Thank you!

    Babs

    Barbara:

    1. Select the selection tool w / the higher-level object
    2. Command/Ctrl-click to select the object behind it. It will probably resemble anything if they are exactly on top of the other. But a quick SHIFT-arrow (move selection 10 x default increment) can make sure you select the correct item. SHIFT-arrow then the other way to put it back or cancel.
    3. Choose object > select > container, or click on the Martian pointing down in the Panel control (to the right of the big P)
    4. Use the direct Selection tool
    5. Move your cursor over the selection and it should look like Mr. Spanky

    Now you can drag the image around, with the effect of persistence.
