  • How can I change the way files are displayed in a library?

    The foregoing is organized by folders, grouped by file Type and sort by name.  This is my favorite.  Note how clearly and Excel 2010 files are classified under the category "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" but all others, circled in red, are listed under their extensions.

    This was not always the case.  How can I get Word documents to sort under category headings that represent the program and not the extensions (Microsoft Word Document, etc.)?

    It is precious, because that would create the columns to use in a manner where the records would come before the others documents.

    I hope this makes sense.  Thank you!

    This means that the file (.doc or .xls) extension has an association that is missing the friendly name of the file type.

    Normally, if you right click on a type .xyz file and choose 'Open with', you will be asked to type a name for this kind of file.  It's the same friendly name that is missing in your above.

    Repair your Office installation should resolve fairly quickly.  Open Control Panel, go to programs, find the office and then choose repair.

    Hello

    In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

    It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

    ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

    The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

    C:\>attrib h ProgramData

    You can view all files by going to the tab options\View Organize\Folder and research.

    In the section files and hidden files , place a check mark in the Show drives, folders and hidden files.

    1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.
    2. In the context menu, select properties and then in the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.

    3. In the name list box, select the user, contact, computer, or group to which you want to display permissions. If the permissions are grayed out, this means that the permissions are inherited from a parent object.

  • How to change the ID ID/monitor display or erase display ID/Monitor ID Windows 7

    Have a problem that sometimes appears.

    Setting up workstations to work with multiple display monitors, its part of my job...

    The real ID monitors get Windows isn't usually a problem, most programs can adapt to the windows settings and fine.

    BUT some of the systems we run sends commands and tips based on the actual number of the display, the number which appears on the screen when you click on the button "identify" in the Office/display-settings of the control panel.

    Allows to call the ID of display equipment

    the computer, or windows remember display´s EDID and stores the monitors already plugged into a list?

    If I installed the monitors/screens in the order correct, everything is good and works as we wanted.

    Then, it happens a brakes display or switch place for a reason, or perhaps a driver update resets the display list and windows starts now monitors in the wrong order.

    the monitor 1 want to have HW - ID 1 to now HW - ID 2, and everything is false, messages and orders now find themselves on the wrong display.

    We have 3 options.

    1. fix the HW - ID display

    2 - re - configure the system and what it includes and hope that he will not return to the display switch change or updated driver.

    3 - re - install windows and hope that it shows the correct ID and continue with client applications and so on.

    I discovered that it is stored somewhere in the REG-Edit, but it is impossible to find the right place

    After talking to HP, they do not support such things... try windows-problem, with a clean install... c - my I switched to a screen!

    Tried to clean facilities of AMD and Nvidia driver for graphics cards, worked for a time, until I restarted the machine, back to square one...

    Then they ponited at Microsoft.

    After talking to Microsoft Support they do not support such things...

    I don't have the skills, but I can't be a problem with a script that removes the EDID reg-edit list after a reboot?

    then it would be not so complicated, simply:

    Unplug everything except the display that you want to be number 1
    Run the script

    reset

    connect the display 2 and so on?

    Hello

    I understand that you are not connected to the domain. But it seems you're a developer and you try to change the logical numbers of monitors/screens. This is why it would be better suited in MSDN Community.

  • Is there a way to FF4 can I change the layout of the screen so I can have the tabs just above the pages, as in FF3.6.18?

    Hello

    I run FireFox (FF) for years and love. I'm running FF 3.6.18 am thought and upgrade to FF4. However, a friend upgraded to FF4 and I notice that the tabs for different pages are very high on the screen, away from the pages concerned, instead of just at the top of the page being displayed, where they are more easily found and used. Having the tabs at the top is really annoying and it is a change that should never have been done.

    My question is this: is there a way to FF4 I can change this so I can have the tabs just above the pages, as in FF3.6.18?

    Thank you very much
    Al

    Yes! Click the new tab button ("+") or a blank space after the last tab and uncheck tabs on top in the context menu.

    If the tabs on top does not appear there, you can use the view menu:

    Menu view > toolbars > uncheck tabs on top

    If you have the Firefox orange (abbreviated menus) button, press the ALT key, or press F10 to display the classic menu bar to join the view menu.

    (Oh, it will make more sense after you install Firefox 5 does it by looking at Firefox 3.6)
