  Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

  Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

  On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

  I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

  Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

  Hello

  I can't find the option to change the settings for Windows Update on Surface with Win RT.

  I searched through the forums and answers, but on the left side of windows update, there is no option to change the settings on my surface.

  My windows update is configured to "Automatically install updates" and I can't change it.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

• How can I change the settings so that when I delete a file, it asks me to confirm

  I just got a new computer with Windows 8.

  I have not changed the settings, if its because it has been implemented.

  When I have a file, such as an e-book, if I want to delete, I'm used to by clicking on the delete key, then a box saying to come to confirm that I want to delete.

  This box is NOT coming. I need him.  Deletion of just the delete key, without confirming.  I hit by mistake in the key deletion files!

  I checked in the APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION, click RECORDS OPTIONS Control Panel section, and there is no option to make this change.

  Hello

  Right click on the shortcut to the Recycle Bin and select Properties.

  There is a checkbox for "Display Delete Confirmation Dialog".

  PERFECT!

  I worked!
  Thank you very much for being so quick!

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

• Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open

  I installed Microsoft Security Essentials today and I'm trying to edit startup programs. Whenever I try to change the settings for startup from the Control Panel, a pop up tells me that I need to activate Windows Defender and open.  However, most of the security will not allow Windows Defender be turned on and I want to change the startup parameters.  How can I accomplish this?

  Hello

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  And now edit startup in Vista without using Defender programs, use one of the following methods:

• In Windows Vista, I can not change the settings in my 'reports on problems and Solutions' Please help

  I'm the administrator of this PC, and it is the only account that I have.

  Quick fix pls help thnks

  Hello
  • What happens when you try to change the settings?
  • You receive an error message?
  • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?
  • Which settings you want to change?
  
  You can view these methods:
  Method 1:
  I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

  After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.

  Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.

  Method 2:
  I recommend you perform the clean boot.

  Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• How to change the settings for the taskbar in Windows 7.

  Anyone know if its possible to change the settings for the taskbar for the other windows or games can cover or be on top of the taskbar. I have my taskbar set to the top of the screen and when I start Flight Simulator Microsoft in full-screen or 1920 x 1080, he fills the entire screen except the upper part which is the bar of tasks, and because of this the windows sim who loses more space and shows its own menu with windows that... yet once loses more than space. The vertical extent of real world it takes away 1 inch of space on the screen that I find pretty ridiculous. These two programs are both manufactured by Microsoft, in my opinion, that they must work with each other, so I hope that im missing something in 2015?

  Thank you all

  Thank you program is in windowed mode full-screen because of the taskbar.

  * See below screenshot of restoration

  for everyone who has this problem, I found a solution!

  Download rammichael.com/7-bar of tasks-tweaker

  Right click on the bar tasks once run-> advanced-> click disable_topmost options->, icon 7TT

  Enter 2 (starting from 0)-> click on apply and ok

  * Note that the program must execute to the difficulty of working so defined to run at startup during installation

  This program does a lot of things, but this will allow your taskbar to stay in place and allow it to be covered by windows.
