The search for PDF files
In Windows XP, when I go to 'Start' in the 'search' and specify a word in the name of the file and then highlight that it is a PDF file I'm looking for, it is unable to locate the file. I know that the file is there. Why is this happening?
WHERE you 'to highlight that it is a PDF file? I don't see this option in the SEARCH on my XP SP3 System.
Assuming you start from START - SEARCH - for the FILES or FOLDERS - all THE FILES AND FOLDERS, you must then fill the box 'All or part of the name of the file', and then may set at glance if you want to restrict the search and finally click FIND.
If you do not have a lot of pdf files on your system, you might consider simply using PDF as the 'part of the name of the file' and let Windows find all your pdf files.

I opened the Windows Media Player after several days of not to use. Files won't load. It is said that there is no element in the library. I'm going to add to the library, and there is nothing there. I add places to watch, say OK and leave. When I come back it is empty again. How can I return my library and playlists?
Sounds like a corrupt media library that can be fixed by resetting it. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Tim Baets

Security of the box for PDF files
I have a Pro with iOS 9.3.1 9.7 "iPad and I am using the application,"Notability." I use this app with the Apple pencil to take notes and annotate screenshots. These notes are incredibly important, because I chose to go paperless in my professional life. Notability backup to Dropbox by recording my notes in PDF format. Some of my notes are protected by the privilege of lawyer / client and others are financial in nature, and I'd be in hot water if the notes have been made public. These documents are 'safe' in Dropbox? Is there a setting somewhere part which would make even safer?
I don't know what a framework that would would make it safer. Since your question has more to do with Dropbox you can go to their site and ask him for it.

Stop the search for the missing files from LabVIEW
Is there a way to prevent the search for lack of screws LabVIEW? If I load a VI and one of its dependencies is spent, I want LabVIEW to fail immediately and to wonder where is the file.
What version of LabVIEW are you using?

Downloads window blank and nothing download - only for PDF files?
FF 25, Mac Mountain Lion.
Last week, stopped download PDF files and the downloads window is empty. Tried Safe Mode and clear memory cache, as well as Disable selectively module DownloadHelper. Nothing has worked. Acrobat plugin is not used, I've always had PDF files in Acrobat itself opening.
It seems to affect only PDF files.
I do not have reset FF because it's so invasive and time-consuming. Any other solution before I resort to that (or switch to Chrome)?
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not to open PDF files with the internal PDF reader to Firefox), do the following:
- Go to Tools > Options (or Firefox > Options).
- In the Options window, select the Applications tab.
- In the Search box, type PDF. You should find Portable Document Format (PDF).
- On the right referring, you should find a column of Action . To select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDFs in Firefox, choose Preview in Firefox.
This solve your problems? The report please come back shortly.

Impossible to access from Firefox 19 update plugin Acrobat for pdf files
I don't like the new pdf viewer, which keeps throwing warnings and is not nearly as usable as the Acrobat plugin. I wanted to go back to the old plugin Acrobat installed with Adobe Reader XI. I searched these forums and the support files and tried the following, which none worked:
1. Tools/Options/Applications, change pdf to 'use Adobe Reader'. This measure of reader, but not the plugin. There is no option for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This option IS sometimes listed Acrobat file as Adobe Acrobat Forms Document.
2 followed all the advice on this web page, which none worked: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
3 reinstalled drive XI. Did not help.
4 disabled plugin Acrobat to restarted ff... Reactivated it. Restarted. Did not help.
5 changed pdfjs.disabled to true in topic: config. Made no difference.
I'm pretty annoyed that I have to waste all that time to go back to something that has worked well. Just another update lame FF that should not happen. You guys are the deployment of updates too often without enough input from users. And what has become of the idea of opt in for optional features instead of just forcing on us. Will seek to use IE, where the plugin works fine.
I think I solved my problem. I have disabled the plugin for Nitro Pro 7 and the Acrobat plugin is now visible again for pdf files.

Remove the black search box that says start typing to search for applications, files, and settings
Can someone tell me please how to permanently delete this search field that keeps appearing in different applications that I use?
I have windows 10 on a HP laptop. Often when I'm working in an application and I move the cursor on the screen, this search box - start typing to search for applications, files, and settings - appears. I tried several times to turn it off, but I do not just because I can't seem to get rid of it.
I would like it removed permanently or turns off permanently so it is not continue to block my view of the application, that I'm trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Found this.
Click on the Start button and select settings.
Then select devices.
Click on the mouse and touch pad and scroll down and select 'extra mouse Options '.
This will open a box that should have the information and the name of the type of touchpad has your computer.
Click on settings and then in the new box that opens, you should see a tab that says 'Tapping '.
Open this tab and you should see 'Three finger Tap' and 'four finger Tap.
Clear the check boxes, and then click 'apply '.
