    If you click on the Start button and then click on the list of the computer, and then look at the top left, you should see the properties of the system, at the bottom of this page, your product key should be listed for windows, not office well.

    The right click menu can be altered and other options added as brüse and ronnie described, I do not know how to do this personally, about the options in this area are concerned.

    If the entry that you have given in how to add options to the menu of these two did not work, I tend to think it's a restriction of user account or a standard account with administrator rights.

  • why we can not create a folder named "con" in windows?

    I tried to create a folder named con in windows 7 and I wasn't able to do that it says "specified device name is invalid" what is the secret of this problem?

    See the MSDN naming of files, paths, and namespaces:

    Do not use the following device names reserved for the name of a file:

    CON, PRN, to THE, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names immediately followed by an extension; for example, NUL.txt is not recommended.

    This applies to files, too.

  • I have reinstalled Microsoft Vista on my pc. When I did it created a folder called "Windows.old". I want to delete this folder.

    I had to reload vista microsoft to my pc.  When I did it created a folder called "Windows.old" that contains the old folders and files, some of which are system files.  I am trying to remove the old version (folder), but get the error code 0 x 80070091.  I took possession of the folder and subfolders, but I can't delete the files or folders.  Can anyone help?  Do I have to rename the folders and files, so he doesn't think I'm removing system folders and files?

  • Why can't I create a table or a column whose name begins with a number?

    Why can't I create a table or a column whose name begins with a number?  I can't seem to find an answer when I Googled it.

    You can;  Simply enclose it quotation marks name whenever you use it.

    For example:

    CREATE TABLE '3-26.
    (
    'name 1' VARCHAR2 (10)
    );

    INSERT INTO '3-26' ('1 St Name') VALUES ('FUBAR');

    SELECT '1 name '.
    "3-26;

    Remember, what inside quotes is case-sensitive, so you can't refer to that column as "1st NAME.

    Using quotation marks (and capitalizing exactly as expected) is such a pain that most people don't bother.

    Hello

    You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Why can't I create a rectangle with width and height reagent?

    I created a rectangle with no fill. I gave it a shadow effect. But I can't not only resize with width "sensitive." Why can't resize it with 'width and height sensitive "? It seems that I should be able to do, but I can't (or maybe I'm missing something). Thank you, this should be a simple question to answer, or to present it as an improvement of the obvious feature in the next update.

    An image can be sensitive in width and height !

    So what you could do is to place an image, assign reactive width and height, then double-click it and delete the content, so you no longer have the frame empty to the left, but sensitive to the width and height :-)

  • Why can't I create forms?

    When I try to make a form using pen or rectangle it's just a mask help!

    This is because you have a selected layer when you try to draw with the pen tool. Make sure that all the layers are deselected first.

    In addition, note two icons to the right of your toolbar at the top... Even if you have selected a shape layer, you can choose to create a mask that you shoot or create another.

  • Why can't I create a new folder in Windows 7?

    No matter what I do, "New folder" does not work.  Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  It has worked before, now it doesn't.  There is a solution, but it's a lot of time.  Help, please.  Thanx

    I found this somewhere, can't remember where exactly, but it works if you try to create a new folder in the C: drive.

    Try this. Launch the command prompt and in the window, type cd... (including colon) and press ENTER. Type cd... and press ENTER again. Repeat until you get C:\ >

    Now, type mkdir  folder_name, where folder_name is replaced by the name you choose for your new folder. Press ENTER. Remove and check.

  • Why can't I rename a folder?

    When I try to rename a folder newly created - after saving a file pdf (attachment Outlook inside) - I get this error message: unable to perform action because the folder or file is open in another program. I can't do seem to change it.  The file is not open in Word; Nothing in Word is open.  Nothing is open in Adobe Acrobat.  The folder I want to rename IS open. but I can't understand how to rename a file without opening it.  Other independent Win Explorer files are open.  This so-called open the folder does not appear in the Win Task Manager.  And the only file in the devinitely folder is not opened.  Should I give up and learn to love the name I tried to change?  Or is there another step I should try?  Of course, restarting the computer will certainly solve the problem.  But I wouldn't have this problem in the first place.

    Thank you.  I solved the problem of the low tech medium.  The name of the original file was pretty close to what I had so I've ignored the problem, went and did something else in Word for a while and then tried to rename the folder again.  It worked!  Explains exactly the problem, of course, but who has time to deal with weird things in Windows?

  • Why can't I create a new epub file in a model of epub on ibooks author?

    I try to import an epub I created on another platform in iBooks author in order to edit it there and re-export as an epub. When you choose file > new epub file and I choose a model, epub models are not available. No idea why? No work around? I don't see why I can't create an epub from an any epub.

    I don't think that iBA has the functionality you need.  You start with a model of epub and add things to it.

    You must use another application to edit your original epub.  Apple won't do anything for this AFAIK.
