Whenever I have turn off my monitor, and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized.
This issue just started. Whenever I have turn off my monitor and then turn it back on, all my desktop icons are completely reorganized. This happens when my system goes into power saving mode, or whenever I have turn off the monitor. Even if I turn it back on just 5 seconds later, all of my icons are not where they were previously. Help!
Suggestions:
1 a simple way:
. Right click on desktop > view > uncheck Auto arrange > check snap to grid.
2. in a more elaborate way and actually a better way. I use this method I have over 150 shortcuts etc on my desk. I can't afford to have shortcuts/icons, rearranging themselves. I won't be able to find anything, if they do.
Here is the tutorial:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/
Note: The method is not perfect, you can, after a while, have one or 2 icons on the spot. But it's easy to fix.

Taskbar disappeared and all the desktop icons are gone
Ok... I think it's a virus... but I can't enter "search" to locate. When I connect my wallpaper rises on Windows and that's all. I start the Task Manager and type "explorer", but it says Explorer is not found. I did a virus scan and nothing came. Menu start has disappeared... How can I 'Search' a program when I don't have my Start menu or icons? And why 'explorer' is not found? Help!
Hello
It could be a virus, or it could be something interferes with the Explorer shell.
If you press ctrl + shift + ESC, open the Task Manager? If so, on the applications tab click "new process" and type explorer.exe and click ok. This starts the desktop computer?
If the Task Manager does not open, then you are probably infected (virus often block access to the Task Manager). Restart in safe mode by pressing F8 when the system starts at the start up, just after the initial POST, and before Windows starts to load. This should result in a boot menu where you can choose Safe mode. Run your scans antivirus from here.

Turn off the monitor and input block
Hello
I am trying to create simple VI that will turn off the monitor (or screen saver turns on) and entrance to block mouse and keyboard - user so won't be able to see the screen and do any action. I use system32.dll for this.
My problem is that when my VI turn off the monitor, user can enable it back by simply moving the mouse or using the keyboard, similarly as these devices are blocked (by the function BlockInput of System32.dll).
How can I do the ultimate freeze?
Attached VI is based on Danny_Funk 'disable the monitor.vi.
Dear bieneck,
This is a very interesting problem you have there. I was snooping around Microsoft technical support for a bit, and the only reasonably simple method, I found was running powercfg.exe from an elevated line comand. You can query wake programmable devices with powercfg - devicequery wake_programmable poster theand disable using "Your device name" powercfg - devicedisablewake. Here you can find a more detailed documentation.
Except that I have found no reliable method that will spare you excessive digging in the registry. Maybe some 3 rd party tool?
One more thing: If your goal is to prevent the user from interacting with anything, it would be easier to make up a large modal window that does not workaround? At least, it seems to me that it is much simpler to use a native Windows function that is not provided for this purpose.
Kind regards:

You can create a new profile on the computer and if the desktop icons stay on their position. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

I have 2 imacs and a laptop computer and you want to back up all three wireless via time capsule on my existing wifi network. If we can also use the time capsule as my wifi and replace my uverse wifi, that would be great. possible?
If you want to make sure that you will be able to get the Apple support in case of problems or questions with your backups, you must use the wireless Time Capsule to back up your Mac.
As long as the time Capsule provides a wireless signal, you can decide who to your 'main' network, then use it wireless Uverse for "guest", or children. If you do not need the Uverse router/modem wireless at all, it is possible to turn off wireless on the device and make it work only as a support modem/router...with Uverse wired.
At this point, you can start thinking about how you want to configure things and get back in touch if you need some advice on how to do it. We need to know what operating system that uses the Mac that you normally use to administer the time Capsule, provide good instructions, if you need it.

I have a subscription Adobe CC and then Adobe CS6 with a separate license. In addition, I also have a separate license for the stand-alone Adobe Lightroom version. These were installed on separate computers, however no opf the stand-alone version will work now that I get a box for Creative cloud telling me that I have the software on two computers and I have to disconnect from the other computer. How can I fix so that I mustn't keep disconnection in order to work on my laptop, etc. ? I have a subscription to the program and three separate license for each other. When he told me to update the program he changed everything to CC, which I did not intend to do.

I thought indesign cs6 was included in my package of premium design cs6. Why, when I try to open it, go to a window that says that I don't have a CC membership more and then quits without loading Indesign cs6. It requires a serial number, but for my design premium cs6 serial number is not accepted by it.
