Windows sync my desktop theme, Favorites and my other laptop search engine
Hello
I just upgraded one of my computers from Windows 7 to Windows 8. E-mail address after the upgrade of Windows 8, I logged in with my Hotmail. After doing that it seems that Windows sync my desktop theme, Favorites and search engine of my other laptop.
I expected a clean install. I wanted to start from scratch with this computer.
Y at - it anyway to disable the function of wells between computers.
The other computer I have Windows 8 running is infected by malicious software and the browser is hijacked. It seems that the browser hijacking had been reduced to my new computer during synchronization. Both computers are now almost unusable.
If I reinstall Windows 8 is possible to turn off synchronization so that it will not happen again.
Thank you, Brett

SAVE DESKTOP THEMES (BACKGROUND) AND SCREEN SAVER QUESTION!
My machine (Dell Desk Top computer) came with everything that I bought with it and I don't have the disc of recovery as well, so, I was just wondering if you can please tell me if there is a way I can save the screen savers and the desktop themes (sets) that accompanies as some of them , or just for nice in the trash when I use the recovery disc (not the one that came with it that I purchased separately from Dell), because they will be gone forever when I do. I don't want to lose them, after that I'm doing the recovery. I would go to the workstation, click on (c :)) local folders on disk, Program Files or WINDOWS to locate their and if so how or is there an easier way to do this and if so, how?) Thank you!
Hello
OK, first of all visit C:\WINDOWS\Resources you will see a Themes folder, you should be able to right click on this folder, select copy and paste it on your desktop. It's your saved themes.
Alternatively, you can try to find your screensavers by name in the search box. Screensavers in Windows normally have *.scr for if you find everything with different extensions these back up. Some screensavers have .exe extension, but this is a very common extension in Windows so you find your screensavers in between it will be hard. SceenSavers may extend installation directories, but normally you can right click and click 'Install' on screensavers to reinstall on a new operating system.
When you find all your .bmp / .jpg Yes circles, you can just click on them and copy and paste them.
Just take note where you have saved, so you can re-install on a reinstall.

I need to be able to search for my Firefox favourites. For example, I know that I have bookmarked with wot on behalf of it, but for the life of me I can not find it among all the bookmarks I have. There must be around a thousand (not exaggerating do not). I know not at all where I did, and I know it's there, but I can't.
So, how do I'm looking my favorites similar to as I search my computer for files?
If FF doesn't have this ability, could you PRETTY PLEASE consider adding this feature?
Firefox allows the bookmark search. The "Bookmarks" menu, select "Show all bookmarks" (Ctrl + Shift + B). A new window will open showing the bookmarks library. In the upper right corner is a search box.
Also, by default, when you start to type an address in the address bar at top, Firefox offers links to history & bookmarks. So you should be able to find just here also. Click here to learn more.

In the search in the top right of my browser, I recently added Wikipedia and Wikivoyage as options, but the icons are not there. Instead, I have a blank white page instead of the icons. How can I fill them in?
This also happens on my laptop which is a Macbook Air, so it's not limited to the Windows 7 version of Firefox.
When there is no data icon in the XML file, then Firefox will be able to display such an icon.
Try adding on Mycroft Project website search engines.

When I hit the drop of the search bar and try and select another search engine, it does not work.
I used to get a pop up asking if I wanted to use the other site, but who was also arrested. I just want to be able to switch between search enginesStart Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

Try to remove the file search.json and a possible search.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I just installed Firefox 30.0 and now my search engine does not work. Is there something in the new version interfere with Google search?
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

How to change Windows Sync dividing the folders and files in alphabetical order
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
- Windows Sync has divided the folders and subfolders in alphabetical ranking. I want my old transparent back and stopped synchronization partnerships. The only way that I can temporarily return the old display windows is to change the name of the folder. How can I stop Windows automatically it? Recent changes to your computer. I work towards a date limit and cannot stop windows from doing this and can not find an answer.
- I have tried going to the Sync Center, but impossible to find a solution. Even tried Sync delete but Windows does not allow this.
Try turning off the center of synchronization to run at startup as follows: http://www.vista4beginners.com/Disable-Sync-Center. In my opinion, who will take care of the problem.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Windows Firefox 29.0.01 8.1
It doesn't seem to be an easy way to reset the default search engine to use in search in the address bar. Am I missing something?
And also, why can Yahoo turn this function is the default search engine?
Hi gcraighammond, I just noticed that you had a problem, a right-click. To change the search engine, click with the left button on the icon and a list of search engine options would fall down.
Yet once, it doesn't until you move the search box back to the toolbar AND to exit to customize the view.
