  I run under a user account and noticed that the general tab, under options is different then when I run under administrator. There is no tabs under general on behalf of user network, update, encryption. Before the recent update I thought these tabs available when running as a user?

• The start section of the general tab in the Options dialog box has disappeared, what gives?

  My question says it all. It USED to be there (or if not, I could not put my pages in the past), but now it isn't, and I haven't changed all the settings of Firefox.

  Thanks for the quick response. Oddly enough, this problem "disappeared" as suddenly as it appeared. Next time that I started Firefox (which was just a few minutes after I reported this), the general tab had the available selection area to set the home pages. Occurrences weird like that make me nervous, however, that things don't "just" without reason.

• How can I indent of lists of files on windows explore to show their dependency or hierarchy

  I need to see the hierarchy between the files in Explorer windows that are hyper linked and saved in the same folder. How can I achieve this?

  Hypertext links / shortcuts must be a .lnk file type.

  Or symbol of standard shortcut in this topic.

  So I guess just add the file type of slide show to detail line ads would suffice.

  But you can also add the path to him as well.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
