Windows 7 F2 selects the name and extension

where is the setting in Windows 7 that allows me to select the complete with extension when file name I F2 (rename) it.

I think I see a question about when the first time I used Windows 7

What you see is the default behavior in Windows 7.

As Shawn b. Keene points out in his post on the topic below, it prevents users from changing the extension which can lead to the file will not be opened by the appropriate program. I realize that for a more experienced user like you maybe it's not a problem, but for the average user or novice, this could cause problems.

As a workaround, it suggests to use the keys Ctrl + A or SHIFT + end immediately after pressing F2. It may not be perfect, but it does not work.

When you rename a file highlights only the name and not the name extension.

    Hi David,

    It's because you have installed CloudFogger, which protects your files in enrcytpt them to ensure safety for DropBox or GoogleDrive. Probably, you have not installed the program, that's why it shows all files with the extension .cfog I you Explorer.
    Re-install the program and you connect to your account back on your files.

    You can try to rebuild the icon cache and check if it works properly.

    Click Start, click Control Panel, and write in the box search folders options.
    b. now, click on Folder Options to open and select folders and hidden files (dot).
    c. open a Windows Explorer window.
    d. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
    e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
    f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
    NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
    g. close the window.
    h. emptying the trash.
    i. restart the computer.
    j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
    NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.

    I received emails from friends, who have a way of hiding the other names on their mailing list. Can I do this using Microsoft mail? Or is it something provided by those server?  And it helps keep away the names and addresses of spammers lists? I do not want to provide the names and addresses of my friends I send e-mail messages to all the awful spammers.

    I'm not computer savvy, so responses will have to be a little in detail.

    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me.

    Windows Mail? Microsoft Mail has not been around for 15 years.

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many emails, you can send a time a. 25 ~ 100 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

  • Virtual PC/XP Mode is asking me my name & the password. I think it says XPMUser and wants to answer me with a password. I want to change the name and create a password. I have never created a.

    I have not created anything yet he keeps asking for a password and display name is XPMUser, I believe.  How I can change this option to create a password also.  My file is listed as XPMUser under.   c:/Documents and Settings/XPMUser I have this file.  Who has my name there instead and if so how to change the name and create a password?

    Thank you

    When you install Windows XP Mode, it automatically creates a user named XPMUser account.  If you want to use a different name:

    1. log in as that of XPMUser.
    2. create a new computer administrator account with the name that you want.
    3. close XPMUser.
    4 log in to the new account and create a password.

    You can then remove the XPMUser account if you wish.

  • Windows could not start the IKE and Authip IPsec keying service modules on the local computer. Error 1075 the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

    Hi, I'm trying start the IKE and AUTHOP service from the SERVICES screen but I get this error:

    original title: ike and authip error 1075 the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

    Hello

    Remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    You can follow the below methods:

    Method 1: Restart Windows and try to start the Security Center service.

    If you still receive the same error, make sure that the WMI service is launched and running:

    (a) click Start, run , and then type Services.msc

    (b) double-click Windows Management Instrumentation

    (c) set its startup type to Automatic

    (d) click Start to start the service, and then click OK

    (e) restart Windows.

    Method 2: Restart the service

    Windows logs an error if the service IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules or the driver does not start, or suddenly, they end.

    To restart the IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules service:

    To perform this procedure, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or must you have been delegated the appropriate authority.

    (a) restart the service. You can do this from a command prompt or in the snap-snap-in Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Do one of the following:

    ·         Start an administrative command prompt. Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the command net start ikeext.

    ·         Click Start, type services.msc in the Search box and press ENTER. In the column name of the Services snap-in, right-click on IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modulesand then click Start.

    (b) if the attempt to restart the service fails, restart the computer. This forces all related and dependent services to restart.

    (c) if the error persists after restarting the computer, then the executable files for the driver or service may be damaged, and the operating system must be reinstalled.

    Note:

    You can check that the IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules (IKEEXT) service runs by using the Component Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) or the net start command line tool.

    You can check the link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733299 (WS.10) .aspx

    Method 3: Run a scan of the System File Checker.

  • PDF form: allow the customer to enter the name and address in a printable letter

    I am creating a letter in which people can:

    -Download in PDF from my Web site

    -Open in an application PDF and enter their name and address

    -Print the letter with the name and address (that they registered above) inside.

    I'm assuming that InDesign CS6 is the best tool for this because it has orders to create interactive PDF Forms.

    I created a text box for the user to enter their name and address. I then went to window > interactive > buttons and form, clicked on the box and he attributed the following values:

    -Type: Textfield

    -Event: Onfocus (PDF)

    PDF options: Printable, necessary, Multi line, scrollable

    I then export my PDF making sure to put ' the interactive elements' "of appearance."

    When I click on the text box, on the Mac or Acrobat preview, nothing happens.

  • Send the name and the value of the control to Subvi

    Hi all

    I am trying to send the names and values of the controls to a Subvi.

    I know that I can check out the name and the value of the control by using a property node, but I was looking for a way to make is easy for the programmer to use.

    I think some sort of bundle function, it records the name and the value of the control, but I would like the programmer to be able to connect a random number

    controls to the Subvi without having to specify the number of controls Anywhere.

    I know there is stuff in labview configuration file, but it seems a bit more complex, so what I want to do.

    Also, I know that I can use the OpenG toolkit, but I will not use additional LabVIEW modules, as this VI may run on several different computers.

    I hope I made my problem clear enough!

    Good day

    Concerning

    Tommy

    What, creating an array of references to the command.  On the hand, you will need to fill the table with control references that you want to send to the Subvi.  In the Subvi, use a loop For with indexing to get every reference, and then use the nodes property to get the name and value.
