Sweeper posted:win+r notepad I want to be able to hit three keys (win, n, enter), you're suggesting ten. I like my question better. Surely there's a way to do this apart from uninstalling Sticky Notes? The weird thing, this is on a fresh install... on my previous install, I had no problem with notepad showing up first when I did a quick search for n.  This goes to more than just notepad. In the past, I've had other folders usurp the easiness of typing 'down' and getting to my downloads folder, or what not. I was thinking, surely there must be some way of jiggering what results the quick search brings? Because it would certainly make my life easier.

If you type it once it saves it in your run box. So if it was the last thing you opened with run it will be filled in there the next time you use it. You can also hit the down arrow to cycle through the last used run commands. Also I am pretty sure it does learn after a while what you use more often after a certain search

We'll see, but so far it's shown no inclination; I've opened Sticky Notes once, by accident, and thrown a dozen notepads at it.

My guess that the algorithm has a time factor to it that relies on days of use. So like if over the past seven days you've opened notepad more than sticky notes it will start putting notepad first, but not before that seven days is up. I'm just guessing based on what I've observed, though...

Yaos posted:Anybody have a clue why Windows 7 can't find/create a roaming profile or create a local profile when using Active Directory and Novell? I know that 7 can't load an XP profile so in my attempts to fix it I've recreated the user account and pointed the profile path at the server to a shiny new folder and gave it correct permissions in eDirectory with no luck. Roaming profiles work perfectly in XP with Novell+AD, but don't work at all at 7. I've not tried it without Novell, not that it matters because we have to use Novell and AD in one area while everybody else is just Novell without roaming profiles. Did you make sure the profile directory name on wherever it is being stored is %username%.V2?

I work at a university that's still on XP, but after a lot of talking and showing my bosses Windows 7 in a remote desktop session to my home computer, they're actually working on building a Windows 7 image to roll out within the next year. The thing that finally pushed them over was MS removing the restriction for XP mode on processors without virtualization.

A while back I posted here (I think) about hardware interrupts causing CPU core #4 to stick to 100%. If I'm browsing and checking my email, it never happens. However, the instant I play games, it acts up. The odd thing is that it'll usually start doing it after I stop playing. Anyway, I tried a combination of audio/driver/network drivers and nothing seemed to fix it. Using some Windows 7 SDK tools and a guide, I managed to trace it down to ACPI.sys. From what I gather, this is a power management thing, so it makes sense that it would act up whenever I'm doing something system-intensive that would require more juice. However, I'm at a loss about what to do to fix it. Disabling ACPI in my BIOS just makes Windows freeze when I boot up (as the four lights combine to form the Windows logo, specifically). I see a few ACPI-related things in Device Manager; there are the two at the top of the list and then further down there are two Microsoft ACPI drivers:  I'm wondering if the two at the top would be in conflict with the two bottom ones, but I'm unsure what would happen if I disabled either. I never had issues until a few months ago and back then it happened less frequently, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly when it started. For what it's worth, putting the computer to sleep does not fix it, but pressing my power button to make it hibernate and then waking it up immediately does fix it (until I play a game again or something).

So maybe this isn't the right place to ask but I'm hoping someone might have an idea. Ever since building my new system and installing Win7 I've had issues with my router dropping my connection once or twice a day. I've never had an issue with this router before and made sure I installed the latest network drivers from Gigabyte. Are there any other configuration settings that maybe I'm overlooking in troubleshooting it in Win7? I guess my next step is buying a new router but I haven't even had this Linksys a year yet.

Is there a way to make power plans changeable through the tray on a desktop? I might have found a temporary fix for my ACPI interrupts. I want to try going to High Performance while playing games and then back down to Balanced when I'm not, but it's annoying to go through the CP every time. This is mostly just short-term until I have time to try a reinstall of Windows (which I'm probably due for soon).

Simply enable the power tray icon, after you do that its one left click on the icon and you get a menu to switch between balanced and high performance or balanced and power saver, depending on which power plans you use most.

It's greyed out so I can't enable the icon. My workaround for now is to keep a desktop shortcut to Power Options (can't create a taskbar shortcut to specific CP items--this is dumb).

LooseChanj posted:Toolbars, they are your friends. Thanks, but the desktop shortcut thing works for now. Oddly enough, hardware interrupts have reduce to 0 so far, so I'm chalking it up to some sort of gently caress-up whenever I quit games and ACPI doesn't know to clock my CPU back down. Will try a format when I've got time.

It's tough to say which thread this question belongs to, but I'll just stick it in this one. I'm having troubles accessing my mac book pros shared files on my windows 7 pc. My windows 7 pc can see all of the other pc's on my network and access files and what not, but it doesn't see my mac book pro. My mac book pro doesn't see anything at all on the network, but if i apple+k and type in the ip i'm interested in, I can get access to my windows 7 files. I've tried doing the same on my windows 7 pc, typing in smb:\\ip-addy but have had no luck. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? Thanks for help in advance.
