Y at - it a keyboard shortcut to use at startup to avoid loading the startup programs?

For Windows XP I could use the SHIFT key while windows loaded to avoid the start up programs in the startup folder. This does not work for Vista. Is there one similar solution other that changing the msconfig?

  • What are the keyboard shortcuts to use the component feature snap-in in Windows 7?

    One of my windows program jumps constantly at my primary monitor after clicking on apply. He does not easily slide back, Yes, is there a keyboard shortcut, or can I do a keyboard shortcut to send the BACK window?

    Try pressing the right arrow Windows.  The first time, the window should anchor right on your screen, do it again, and it should move to the next screen.  This work only, however, if the window is resizable so that Aero Snap can "seize".

    Otherwise, there are some public services that can help.  Some are provided with manufacturers of graphics card dual monitor, but searching for 'send to the next monitor' should find some other useful applications.  Your mileage may vary if, as these other 3rd party utilities may have the same inability to 'catch' the window.

    If I click with the right button on the application and type C, which is the key to lose C will be only, highlight, he shut as it should.
    In older versions of windows, the close menu command used popup exactly under the mouse cursor, and now it seems just above the taskbar button.

  • I do not use office, how to avoid updates of this programming?

    The only part of the desktop that I use is, MS Photo Editor, so I can create images in layers, office software is useless for me, and I'd rather not end up having the updates for this program. Is it possible for me to not to receive this type of update, as we know that to receive the wrong update it will remove MS Photo Editor, without my permission.

    You can configure your computer so that Microsoft Update notify you when updates are available, rather than install the updates automatically.  In this case, you will need to click on the "Custom" button and select the updates to download and install.  To do this, do a right-click workstation, select properties and then click the Automatic Updates tab.

    You can also go to Microsoft Update http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us and click on the "Edit settings" link on the left.  Scroll down to "to stop using Microsoft Update.  Check the "disable Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only" and click on "Apply changes now."  Your automatic updates will now be for Windows.  You will need to manually check for updates for other Microsoft products.

  • Change keyboard shortcuts, use simple characters that are normally reserved for tool Control Panel

    I have a script that I use now that I want to replace the bar cropping tool,

    Can I deselect C for the use of the current culture in keyboard shortcuts. When I then go to menus keyboard shortcuts of applications, I am looking to replace the scripts files > "croptool.jsx" and select "C" and it won't let me not use it as it takes a combination of keys.

    Then I exported the keys and then open in Text edit.

    It seems straight forward, so I added the line up above the vanishing point.

    < command type='Dynamics' name='Script_CROPTOOL'>

    < Shortcut >C< / shortcut >

    < / order >

    < command type='Dynamics' name=' Vanishing Point '>

    < Shortcut >Cmd + Opt + V< / shortcut >

    < / order >

    Then when I load it. He worked in part. In this C now appears in the menu. So anyone know if I can get this working correctly? A little more code can be used to allow simple letters in the wok in "application menus.

  • For use with German keyboard shortcuts

    I use a version of English language of Lightroom but unfortunately am stuck with a German keyboard connected to my PC. Could some kind soul in the knowledge point me in the direction from where I can download a list keyboard shortcuts? Thank you.

    Here is the link to the German for Lightroom 2 user's Guide, which contains most of the shortcuts. http://help.Adobe.com/de_DE/Lightroom/2.0/lightroom_2_help.PDF

    Note that you can also use a keyboard modifier trick when you view the actual application menus shortcuts hidden in large numbers. For example, hold Shift key changes Select All (Cmd + A) item menu clear all (Cmd + Shift + A) and hold the Option/Alt key exchange key Zoom In (Cmd +=) to Zoom in some (Opt + Cmd +=).

  • Keyboard shortcut to click on a button in a drop-down window in Thunderbird Mac?

    I recently migrated to Thunderbird 3 on an older Mac OS x 10.4.11 to a whole new Mac OS x 10.9.3. The migration has been almost transparent, and I'm loving many useful features of the new Thunderbird! However...

    There is ONE thing that I do all the time which is not supported by a keyboard shortcut, and I couldn't find anything in the Support forums that relates specifically to it. When I start an email and decide I want to throw it away, I hit command W (close) and get a drop-down window that can gives me the choice to save (as a draft in my case), not save and cancel. The ESC key active Cancel, of course, but none of the other buttons has a keyboard shortcut.

    It's almost the only time wherever I have to grab my mouse when I use TB and I find this very frustrating. I have other applications on the Mac which can accept inside these windows keyboard shortcuts and really missing TB. Is it possible to add these shortcuts? I'd like to be able to use the D command to close an unsent message without saving changes.

    Several people spoke of keyconfig, but we don't know if this works on this version of TB Mac and it is also unknown if it allows access to the buttons I want control. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    The add-on keyconfig is up and running here in TB 24 & 32, but to install it, you will first need to install this add-on:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/CheckCompatibility/

    I found the instructions to create a shortcut to save as a draft and close the window (Ctrl-S is the default key for save as draft), so that we can adapt that Don ' t Save (although Windows, Alt - N is the default key for the command of Don't Save).

    You can have better luck post this question in the keyconfig forum quoted in the first link.

  • Director of presentation (Fn + F7) defective keyboard shortcut.

    In Director presentation fn + f7 settings I chose to show me the menu system to choose display.

Finally I had to stop using the keyboard shortcut and use the tray icon for presentation Manager tasks do it manually.

    Anyone knows what is the substitution of the shortcut key, or why his behavior not how its supposed to?

    Maybe you need an update on the Hotkey manager (or whatever it's called). I had the same problem, went to support page and later update on hotkey utility was a note:

  • Keyboard shortcut to minimize maximized windows

    On the site:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/keyboard-shortcuts

    It lists the following under "keyboard Windows logo key" keyboard shortcut
    keyboard shortcuts:

    Windows logo key + arrow down = minimize the window.

    However, if the window is maximized when this keyboard shortcut is used, the
    window is restored down, not minimized. Of course, you can simply press on the
    keyboard shortcut to minimize the window, but when you go back to
    This window, it will not be maximized, meaning you have an extra step
    It maximizes. Yes, to the best of my knowledge, measures to minimize and
    then remaximizing a window are:

    1 restore down: Windows logo key + down arrow
    2 minimize: Windows logo key + down arrow
    3. Select window: logo Windows + Tab key (or one of the other main
    combinations that can be used to select an open program)
    4. optimize: touch of the Windows logo + up arrow

    Obviously not a difficult process or complicated, but I expect
    being close to:

    1 minimize: Windows logo key + down arrow
    2. Select window: logo Windows + Tab key (or one of the other main
    combinations that can be used to select an open program)

    And it would be if the Windows logo key + shortcut keyboard down arrow
    always minimize the window. I am happy that there is a way to restore
    but y at - it a keyboard shortcut that minimizes a window maximized?
    Thank you.

    Hello Nathan Sokalski,.

    The closest you can get use Windows + M, which will minimize all windows.

    Although you can use Windows + D (display the desktop). You use this shortcut will allow you to use Windows + D now show the last window before the display of the desktop computer.

    Hope this helps

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not work after changing the blending mode to a layer

    There is a strange bug that I experienced with photoshop. Whenever I change the blending mode to a layer (for example by selecting "Multiply" in the menu drop-down blending mode), my keyboard shortcuts stop working until I have click on the canvas again. It's annoying because often, I'll be on the Brush tool and I did draw on the canvas and press ctrl + z to re - activate keyboard shortcuts. I'm curious to know if this problem occurs to someone else and if anyone has found a solution for this.

    Version of Photoshop: 20150722r.168 x 64

    Operating system: Windows 10

    It happens on Windows, because the drop-down list with blend modes remains highlighted or active (around the blue line). You can press ENTER to confirm and delete the highest point around blend mode dropdown or use keyboard shortcuts to change the layer blending mode. To change the layer blend mode, you must have selected layer and then press Shift + Alt + letter for the blend mode. This shortcut does not work in the case where the tool you are using have mode option in the blending Options bar.

  • Moving between the keyboard shortcut Documents: Acrobat Pro DC

    Since the update to version 2015.009.20069 of Acrobat Pro DC on Mac Pro (end of 2013), I am unable to use any keyboard shortcut to navigate between open documents. Before the most recent update to Acrobat Pro DC, it was possible to navigate between documents open by using the keyboard shortcut. So, what has changed with the keyboard shortcut?

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you want to open several documents (e.g. 3) in acrobat and then switch between them (i.e. the document 1 document 2 and so on).

    Since version 2015.009.20069, several documents are open as tabs instead of Windows of Acrobat.

    You can use Ctrl + Tab to switch to the next tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch to the previous tab.

    Thank you
