Windows 7 except Bug dialogue

Hi all. I use Win7 on my system to work and I ran into an annoying problem.

In earlier versions of Windows, whenever I opened the dialog save - save or save slot - and I wanted to save a file with a name very similar to one already existing, I could simply click on the existing file, make the changes file name and press save. And voila! The file is saved under the name new, similar.

For example, if I had a pre-existing file called 'Attack Patterns of the Killer Bee - 2011,' and I wanted to record a new file under the same generic name, but the year has changed, I could just click the previous file, replace the '2011' with '2012,' press on save and the file will be saved.

However, in Win7, if I do exactly the same thing, I get a warning message that the file already exists and asks me if I want to replace it. Well, of course, the file already exist, because I changed the name.

I have found that Windows is trying to save on the existing file, because it is more accentuated since that is clicked earlier in order to populate the record file name text box. the existing file is always on, somehow.

If I click on the name of the existing file to fill the text box, then click anywhere outside him to erase the highlight, then I can make changes to the name, and it will save successfully. But, this is an unnecessary step and annoyingly requires reprogramming of the years - even decades - of muscle memory prior to break the habit.

I think that it is actually a bug in Win7, rather than some "typical" new, worse-than-what-TI-replaced. I should be able to simply click on an existing file to fill in the name field and then be happily on my way to change the name, without having to ensure that I properly clicked off - if all goes well, not by clicking on another file out of the blue and substituting - before I can save the file.

Thank you.

Save/Save as are specific to the program you use to view the file.

Basically, to use "save under" to rename (the dialogue will be initially populated with the name of origonal)

  • Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

    Original title: exceptions to firewall

    Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

    1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

    2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

    However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

    This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

  • All windows disappear except Composition and timeline when you drag the time indicator current (CTI)

  • Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

    Hello

    I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

    I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

    Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

    This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

    My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

  • Firefox 28 not listed in the Windows Firewall Exceptions

    I am running SP3 Windows XP Prof, Firefox 28 and Windows Firewall.

    I recently noticed that Firefox is 'slow' loading and connection to Web sites.

    I checked the 'Exceptions' list in the Windows Firewall, but Mozilla Firefox did not appear. Why Windows Firewall application doesn't have access during the installation of Firefox? Internet Explorer was not either and that my original browser browser and becomes 'slow', that's why I changed to Firefox.

    Moreover, since 'Add' and 'give permission' for Firefox, it runs a lot faster.

    Thanks John!

  • Clear recent history + cookies clears all cookies, including those on the list of exceptions - bug or feature?

    I have several sites on the list of the persons authorized to keep the cookies always (options, privacy, cookies, exceptions). When I use "clear recent history" and check the cookies, the cookies are deleted, including those on the allowed list. Maybe it's a feature rather than a bug, but I much prefer it if cookies excepted were excluded.

    This is how it works. Using clear recent history clears all specified cookies and does not exclude cookies that have an exception permit. If you want to keep a few cookies then you should avoid using CRH to clear the cookies and delete unwanted cookies in the Cookie Manager or they expire when you close Firefox. In this way you keep the cookies with an exception permit.

    The second name of the program is superantiSpyware, where SAS.

    MBAM has a very good reputation, more I think it is less intrusive than SAS.  That's why I suggested it.

    As far as the SAS 'System tools' are concerned, those who are different from the malware scan/remove main task which is the reason to run SAS.  The tools to answer the damage that could be caused by a malware attacks different various.  If you have a particular symptom required by one of the tools, then go and try - I have no experience in a way or another with any of these tools.  There is no reason to run all or part of the tools as part of regular maintenance.

  • 10 Windows start menu bug-Predator G9-591

    Hello acer community,

    I seem to have this bug on my windows 10 pro. It happened when I got home too. Whenever I press the start menu, it shows the normal color, I chose, after I press something on it, as all applications or power, it goes darker. If I move my mouse over the start menu it goes even darker. I tried to restore it and others.

    Please y at - it solution

    Finally, I found a solution to your problem. No need to reset factory no need to full reinstall. The problem comes from your Intel HD graphics driver, does not solve the problem in my old laptop se I just disabled the 3D settings without knowing this would fix it. As you use the integrated graphics card which means the correction might also work for you also. Go to intel hd graphics control panel and then turn off the 3D settings. I have no graphics built-in so I can't show you which setting, you must turn off exactly, but the first start by disabling all the and if it does start turning on one by one to see exactly one must be turned off.

    Also update the Intel HD graphics driver to the latest version.

  • Is no longer able to install windows updates after factory reset (windows service exception / failure set up the updates of windows roll back)

    Hello


    Since my upgrade to 4.2 APEX (coming from 4.1.1.) I am unable to connect to any application with my windows phone 7/internet explore.
    I am also unable to connect any workspace development from the same phone. On a desk I don't have these problems.

    It is difficult to debug but it seems that the pages don't comply, after pressing a button, nothing happens.
    Ultimately connect you is not my biggest problem, but I have to be able to reach the pages of a browser on a phone (any phone/os if possible).

    Anyone had a similar experience or a solution?

    Hope you can help out me, because it's important functions in some of my apps :(

    Just checked: the problem also occurs on other browsers on the same device (installed Safari as a test). With IE, the device identifies itself as:

  • Applications Windows XP Startup - Bug: the .exe file name only, not the full path

    Using Windows XP, run-msconfig-startup online online, only the name of the Executive file of the Applications that load and boot at startup are shown - this name sometimes not easily indicates he belongs as to which Application.
    Therefore, it becomes difficult to decide to uncheck (stop autoloading at startup) or not - unless the full path to its location is revealed. But this small window no poster not the full path - even if the mouse pointer is hovered over an entry in the list of applications.
    Third-party software (AnVir Task Manager Free) displayed the full path when the mouse pointer is moved to an entry.
    Microsoft should take the queue and improve this Service / installation / functionality, please.

    On my Windows XP, there is a 'Command' column / window for the start of the tab that displays the full path to the file.  If this column is not wide enough to show the entire path, place your cursor on the line that separates the column header in order for the column heading 'Image '.  The cursor turns into a line with arrows pointing to the left and right upright.  Click and hold the mouse button down and drag to the right.  The column will expand and a horizontal lift will open down to scroll all right.

    If this does not satisfy your needs, try the more technical version of msconfig Microsoft-"Autoruns".
