I am taking a computer class and for an assignment I had to find a newsgroup and post about a Vista feature I like. Now that I know what the sidebar does, I like it. I always ignored it on the desktop because I couldn't figure out what the use of it was. Now that I realize you can add news features on it, I enjoy it more. -- Tab1534

Today Serveral systems running Word 2007 no longer would are able to Save documents. I receive the error " There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.

We are using Word 2007 on XP systems with a NT 4.0 Server SP6 . I need to resolve this issue or I will n…

MS updates corrupted my performance
by Guest JimInAL- 0 replies
- 326 views
I recently downloaded updates to IE8 and XP at the same time. Before the update my system response (loading IE, etc) took 2 to 5 sec. Immediately after the updates response went to 20 - 60 sec. MS takes the position that I should pay them to fix what their updates damaged. Can anyone tell me how to regain my previous performance without paying MS? Thanks

I have a Word 2007 document that inserts several Excel and Word documents.

I need some way to find all the links, so I can remove any extraneous ones, and get rid of this error message. Can anyone help with this? -- Chuck

Programmatically access a specific process in Task Manager?
by Guest John Doe- 0 replies
- 111 views
Is there some way to open up the task manager to a specific application? I need to programmatically adjust a particular application priority and affinity. I can do it with a script if that application can be programmatically highlighted when task manager is opened. The problem is trying to get that application highlighted. My current method is to arrange by memory usage and move to the top of the list, since the application uses a lot of memory. But it does not always use the most memory. I could move to the top of the list and then press the first letter (key) of that application, but usually it does use the most memory, so that will put me…

TweakUI Changes Not Applying?
by Guest John- 0 replies
- 97 views
I used to use TweakUI to hide a drive containing some personal information. All of a sudden the drive is now showing in Windows Explorer. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and that didn't help. I also tried to hide it using the Registry Editor and adding a new DWORD "NoDrives" but that didn't work either. There was already one there, I assume from TweakUI so I deleted it and created a new one but the drive is still showing. What could have caused TweakUI to suddenly stop working? I had some weird issues with my BIOS, but shouldn't TweakUI still work?

If you had the foresight to enable automatic creation of back-up files on save then yes, you probably can get back (most) of a deleted file. Otherwise you are in very dodgy territory. Shift Delete is specifically intended to _not_ keep files you delete. You may not have dropped it in the shredder, but getting anything back isn't going to be easy. There are third party tools that attempt to recover deleted files fro…
