T-Clock lets you customize your clock appearance, has alarms, timers, enhancements, hotkeys and more. It takes up less than 2mb and uses minuscule resources. I like to see digital seconds on my clock and have no use for the date to show all the time. The font style, size and position is...

Windows 10 added a recovery partition on my primary

Technically every hard drive is already partitioned; however There are valid reasons to partition: Make doing drive maintenance faster. Split up system and data files. Backing up files & software. Windows needs hard-drive space for virtual memory. Back-up what's on the first drive...

Thanks. I sized them prior to installing Windows 7 and wasn't aware of guidelines.

Windows 10 added a recovery partition on my primary

Harumph! I don't understand what prompted it to create this recovery partition 7 months after an upgrade install. It seems dangerous and invasive to just create it without prompting and shrinking the primary. This is one more thing to piss me off about Windows 10. I am very precise at...

Windows 10 added a recovery partition on my primary

I "upgraded" to Windows 10 last September and held off doing a clean install as everything was running smoothly for 7 months ...up until now. I've got images of Windows 7 that I could always go back to if necessary. I use a 2 TB Western Digital Black label hard drive partitioned with 100 GB...

IE 11 changes jpeg names to "attachment"

Thank ya'll for your suggestions. No No, it's not a file association issue. I've run into some European jpg. v. jpeg incompatibility issues but those retain their correct names, Irfanview recognizes the incorrect extension and offers to correct it. Yes, no effect on the anomaly. I...

IE 11 changes jpeg names to "attachment"

Windows 7 64 bit Internet Explorer 11 On some websites/forums, when I right click on images and "save as", jpegs are re-named the generic word "attachment" instead of the real picture names. On the same websites/forums using IE 10 and Google Chrome I can save them by their real names...

Internet Explorer 10 now available for Windows 7

Thanks, forgot about that, I haven't had the need to use that since XP and thought I'd cleared it after a check disk and defrag. I didn't, everything is in there. I feel a learning curve up ahead. I have the "critical" entry where I had to do the hard shutdown, preceded by "info" entries some...

Internet Explorer 10 now available for Windows 7

Foolishly, I didn't make note of the number even after three times, there were a lot of sixes in a row and my past experience has mostly yielded the generic message to uninstall any new software, hardware and hints at memory failure etc... Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 for x64-based...

Help reinstalling XP

I've had several occasions to re-build other people's computers lately due to spyware and viruses. Contingent on the size of the hard drive, the ability to back up all the data and it's lack thereof of a factory restore partition, I format the disk and make a 20,480 MB (20GB) partition of which...

Disconnect miniview XPS 420

I simply don't like it and I don't want it. It uses power albeit a small amount. It looks silly and will provide little function (solitaire, which I remove anyway) when I remove Vista. It's sucessor the XPS 430 eschews it. I could not get the 30% off coupon and the savings on the 430, so I...

Disconnect miniview XPS 420

I'm waiting for my XPS 420 to ship. I want to disconnect miniview when I get it. I understand it can be turned off in the bios but I'm interested in completely removing it. How is this connected to the motherboard? How can I disconnect it?
