• How to rotate the files displayed in the XPS Viewer?

  Hello.  Is it possible to rotate an XPS file displayed in the XPS Viewer?
  Thank you
  Ed

  Hello
  It depends on the software you use to open the XPS file. Most have a rotation function. Normally located under 'change '.
  The common MS Viewer is like Notepad... very limited. I advise you to do a search on XPS viewers (most are free) and find one you like.

• Simple icons/files needed on the desktop

  I don't know that it's probably just behind the desired option more... but, for reasons is not necessary to mention here, I want Plains icons and folders displayed on my desktop.  I don't want to see the content of each pdf, photo, CAD and case file that sits on my desk.  It would be nice to have just the former generic styles - I looked through some of the options but see no index.

  Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  Thank you very much.

  The office is the worst place in storage, there is

  It is easily corrupted and will usually be at one time or another.

  The office is preferable to contain only shortcuts to files or programs.

  Drag files in the category what ever that would apply, the doc / Pic...

  Pin programs to the taskbar that allows you to view these files in and allows access to files, Jump list

  You can also lock the doc and the peak in these lists of specific shortcuts.

  Right-click of your Start button,

  Click Properties,

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• Folder deleted still on display on the desktop in Windows 7

  This has been fixed by adding a new user profile and delete the old.  See the response of July 6 by Dissed.  Thank you!!!

  **********************************************************************

  I have Windows 7 on a HP laptop.  On a file that I wanted to delete, I clicked and selected 'delete '.  You could see the process run, and no error message appears.  Unfortunately, the icon disappeared.  When I try right click and delete it again, a message appears saying that it is not found, that it is no longer on the desktop check the location and try again.

  I tried the following without a bit of luck:

  1. right click, delete
  2. highlight delete key
  3. highlight, control/delete
  4 drag / drop to trash - it does nothing at all... not even the normal error message.
  5. make a right click, refresh
  6. right click, sort
  7. try to rename the folder, error message appeared... once again.
  8 used Unlocker
  9 file Assassin
  10 removed and reindexed files
  11 défragmentée HD
  12. started in Safe Mode - always there
  13. I tried to delete it in Mode safe
  14 tried to delete via BACK
  15 Ran Avast Antivirus - nothing
  16 ran Malwarebytes - nothing
  17 Ran disk cleanup
  18 ran SuperAntiSpyware - nothing
  19 Ran Hitman Pro - found only cookies and remove those who
  20. at ran MicrosoftFixit.WinFileFolder.Run - fixed any weird icon & recycle bin questions
  21 Ran CCleaner
  22 ran Microsoft Safety Scanner - nothing
  23 analysed using sfc scannow - fixed some things, but not what I wanted to fix!  Laughing out loud
  24. search HD for the file thinking it could have been moved to another place, but nothing came.
  25. I can't go back to an earlier backup because he is not a previous backup to roll back to.
  26 remove copies of each of the three offending files from my external hard drive without problem, hoping that this will allow me to only remove the office... no luck.

  Whenever I ran scans, I always include my external HD.

  Try everything what I have always said that the file is not found because it is no longer in this area.  Is there a shell office that I can remove and when I restart my computer it will automatically rebuild that shell, remove the offending files/folders?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I need to get this file on my desktop!  I have a total of THREE folders of files that will not delete.  There are no files in the files.  There is no HIDDEN in the files files.  It is as if the Windows desktop has a problem and will not erase these three folders icons.

  Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

• Cannot get data author and the title for the pdf files display in the Explorer of Windows 7

  How can I get Windows 7 explore to display the author information and the title for the pdf files?  I can get columns to display for the author and the title of information, but they are empty and when I click it, I get the message "not specified."   I use Acrobat to create and read pdf files.  Pdf files, I create include the author and title information in the metadata, so I know the information are here. When I used Windows XP, I could hover over a pdf file and metadata would leap upward with the author and title, but Windows 7 does not display no information in the pop up more than Tpye/size/update even if the metadata author data and the title has been entered.

  nothing to see here...

• Drive C content is displayed on the desktop

  I am running Windows 7 Professional x 64. Today, I tried to open a folder on my desktop and received an error message saying that windows could not open it. The office then refreshed, and now it shows my contents of drive C instead of what should be on my desk. Ive checked my C:/Users / * user * / the desktop folder and all the files are still there, but just not appearing on my real desk!

  * edit *.
  I tried to restore the system to correct the problem, but it reoccured a short time after doing the restore. I just reinstalled windows in the end

• New Firefox Sync does not work correctly. Bookmark cannot be deleted. Tabs are not displayed on the desktop.

  I have two problems with the synchronization again. The first problem is that none of my bookmarks or tabs of my office are appearing on my Android phone or work phone reverse on the desktop.
  The second problem is I'm trying to synchronize my favorites of the beta version of Android FF for the non - Beta Android FF that worked well until I corrected to remove several bookmarks I have anymore. I want to remove them, but I can remove them only on the beta version and then when I go to the regular version none of the changes have been synchronized. If I try to remove them from the normal version nothing happens at all.

  One thing to check is the android device and new update of office are on the same synchronization. To check on Android is this (not recommended) Firefox Sync account

  The other thing to check is if the tabs and bookmarks synchronization options are on for both devices in the page manage account.

  Is this the case?

• Build information displayed on the desktop.

  I don't know what I could do, if anything, to make the info Windows XP Build display on my desk.

  I use this PC for years, and it was never there before.

  It can be removed?

  Do you mean the text as:
  Windows XP Professional
  Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr. [.....]
  Which appears at the bottom right of the screen?

  The only way I know to do this turn on and off using "TweakUI" of Microsoft.  If you have it on your computer, start TweakUI (start-> programs-> Powertoys-> Tweak UI), click the 'General' entry in the left column, then scroll to the bottom of the window to the right and uncheck the "Show Windows Version on desktop".

  If you do not have TweakUI, you can get it from:
