• Windows App Store available to all users of a computer.

  After I download an app on the App Store, I don't find this application to put on-screen of metro on the other usernames on the computer.  How can I make the apps I've downloaded available to all users on the computer?

  This answer is useful, but it seems to imply that each user who wants to use the app will have their own personal copy of the program on the same computer.

  It is good that an app should only be bought once for any device/computer/tablet, but it's still pretty stupid if on a given device, we still have wind upward with multiple copies of the app!

  Hello

  Each app is installed only once on each computer.

  When the administrator installs the application in a different user on the same computer account, giving that user access to the one already installed app and places a copy of the files of configuration apps in this personal user files so that the user can configure the application for their own personal needs.

  Thank you.

  Download and run JDiskReport.

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
  • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files to delete or uninstall applications.

  Hi Tansy,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

• where I find how to change the icon size and text ahead of settings (box i.e.message)

  Try to change the size of fonts and text in the TEXT WINDOW WINDOW INACTIVE, ACTIVE WINDOW, AND BOX of MESSAGE.  How in this screen?

  Wilma Griffin

  Change the size of icons:
  Right-click the desktop, point to view, and then click large icons, icons or small icons.

  Tips
  You can also use the scroll of your mouse wheel to resize the desktop icons. On the desktop, press on and hold down the Ctrl key while you highlight the wheel to make icons larger or smaller.

  Change text size:

  You can make text and other items, such as the icons on your screen easier to see by making them bigger. You can do without changing the resolution of the screen of your monitor or your laptop. This allows you to increase or decrease the size of text and other items on your screen while keeping your monitor or laptop set to its optimal resolution.

  Right click on desktop, and then click screen resolution

  Choose one of the following:

  More small - 100% (default value). This prevents the text and other elements to normal size.

  Average - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.

  Expansion - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at least 1200 x 900 pixels.

  Click on apply.

  To see the change, close all your programs and then log off from Windows. This change will take effect the next time that you open a session.

  You can also display text more or less by changing your screen resolution, but if you use an LCD monitor or laptop, we recommend that you set your screen to its native resolution to avoid a blurred text. It is the optimal resolution an LCD monitor or laptop was designed to display based on its size.

  Active and inactive windows:

  Click Start, type: Windows color and appearance
  Press enter on your keyboard

  In the item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the font of the menu, click on Menu in the list. Then, make the following changes:

  In the font list, click the font you want to use.

  In the size list, click the desired font size.

  In the color list, click the desired font color.

  Repeat these steps for each item that you want to change, click OK, and then click OK again.

• How to change the icons, windows, and the font size?

  I turned off my computer and everything was OK. When I turned it on, icons, fonts, windows, and everything was extremely important. I went the DPI setting and it is said this is the default format, but it's not. How can I get everything back to normal?

  I have windows vista.

  It sounds as if your screen resolution has changed somehow. Right-click on an empty area of your desktop, click personalize > display settings. See the resolution slider? What is fixed at? Try to set and then click 'apply '.

• How can I NOT save a file whenever I open a PDF file, open an attachment, etc. ? I know how to set the option to change the save location, but sometimes I just want to not SAVE a file I've read during navigation

  I don't want Firefox to save a copy on my hard drive of each attachment, PDF, etc. I have open while browsing. How to make this happen?

  Firefox needs to download and save a file before transmitting it to a plugin.

  You can set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit true on the topic: config page to remove these files.

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

  • Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
  • Preferences that have changed also show "BOLD" (user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default value using the context menu if they are set of users
  • Preferences can be changed via the context menu: Edit (string or integer) or toggle (Boolean)

• How to create a default profile for all users of a computer under Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions greater than 8? I would that all new users on a computer to get the same values by default, homepage, bookmarks, etc...

  I found some help on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions greater than 8. There must be a way to do this for imaging large scale.

  Have you created a defaults\profile in the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)?

  All files in this folder will be moved into each newly created profile folder.

  To give the prefs a default, it is best to do this via a mozilla.cfg file.

  Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.
  
  Place a local file - settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

  pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
  pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
  

  See:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

  defaultPref();  // set new default value
  pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
  lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes
  

• My laptop always tells me that I am user of 'limited' and I need to log in as an administrator. I am the only user of this computer at home, and I can't find out how this action.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  If you had only one user account, it originally was an administrator, and he has now suddenly become Standard see methods below. After return you to the system scan for malware because these things happen not magically by themselves. You will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account and make your changes. See the end of this post for the recommended user configuration.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

  1 boot without failure. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Vista. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  2 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more. If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode.  Or you can do a repair file Vista bootable DVD in this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need the third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com ) to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data.

  Now remove the rescue CD/DVD, you have done, reboot Windows and log on to the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  After getting things sorted, login to a different administrative account (see recommendations below) and disable the administrator built-in again for security reasons.

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

• Scanner does not work for all users on the computer Windows 7

  Photosmart 7510 Scanner does not work.  My scanner has the habit of work.   Now it does not for one of the three users on my Windows 7 desktop.

  I spent over 3 hours on the phone with HP.   They had me restart the computer, Plug and unplug the printer, reinstall the software twice under different names. The software depending on what user id, it is installed under allows access to the scanner/printer to one or more users.  The scanner works with Windows Paint software for all three nicknames.

  HP response is that some user control prevents the scanner software, who used to work on all three nicknames on the computer, which now works on one or more of the users.  They couldn't tell me which user control need changing.

  The HP solution is to restore my system when I could scan for all users of three.   I don't want to do that.   Does anyone have a better solution?

  The real problem is HP error messages.   When I click on scan a document, there is no answer.  Nothing happened.

  Then I tried to scan using Windows Fax and Scan.   I got an error message which helped me locate the source of the error.   I was able to fix the problem without creating a new user account.  I had deleted bu error the file MY Document.   Restore this file fixes the problem.

• Why Firefox keep changing my perefence for Google as an eingine search for tabs and the Yahoo homepage?

  I am a user of Firefox 40.0.03. I put Google as a homepage of my start page and tabs. Lately, Firefox has started taking the freedom to change my preferences from Google to Yahoo preferences. In the last two days, I changed the setting from Yahoo to Google at least 10 times. But whenever I have shut down my system, Yahoo goes Google. I checked my system for any mischievous adware and Add-ons, but there are not.
  I don't want to use Yahoo. Is it a policy of Firefox to push Yahoo down our throats?

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save

  Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with surf Protection, can protect the files in the folder of Firefox profile against the changes. If you have this software, then check the settings or uninstall this software.
