I hope this is an okay place to ask: In one of the sh/sc threads someone posted a link to a website that walked through how to use almost all of the functionalities of Excel. Macros and so forth. Anyone have an idea what it may have been?

I'm using Windows 7. It appears that if I move a start menu shortcut, it never appears in the frequently used list when you first click the start button. Does anyone know why this is, or how to prevent it being the case?

I'm scanning in some documents which are slightly but not significantly bigger than my A4 scanner. Therefore, I'm turning them sideways and scanning the top half and then the bottom half. Is it reasonable to assume that there is some simple program that can stitch these JPEGs back together?

I would hope it's because they never removed passes targeting obsolete storage. Or maybe they didn't know that's why some of the passes are there. Although either one is still pretty bad.

I've got a mildly annoying issue: I have an external USB hard disc that is pretty slow to 'wake up' (6-7 seconds). Which is fine, except that at the logon screen I have to wait until it's done before my USB keyboard can also 'wake up' and I can type in the password. Is there any way to tell Windows to "check" the keyboard first and not wait for the HDD?

I have a friend running Windows 7 Home and wants to backup to a network drive. The Windows backup program won't allow this, so are there any free alternatives that anyone can recommend? He'd like one that can do versioning. He tried Comodo Backup and SyncBack Pro and didn't like them.

Is there a program that gives me more fine grained control of the sound outputs? Not all programs let me configure exactly what output they use, and I'd like to split them up in certain ways. Currently I have game sounds come from the desktop speakers, and voicechat from the headphones. I'd like to have my music go out a 3rd output.

Is there any way to tell what edition of Windows 7 a product key is for? A friend of mine is having some issues using the Windows 7 product key he purchased from eBay sometime last year (I know buying off eBay is a bad idea, I told him that but he did it anyway). He tried installing using my Ultimate DVD but was told his key was for a different version of Win 7. He reckons it was for Win 7 Professional so I'm thinking it could be an OEM key, alternatively if it's a VLK he may have to use an Enterprise DVD.

I think the best you can hope for is the application you are using can set the output itself. If I am wrong someone please post a solution.

Not exactly what I was after, but that's pretty handy regardless! The article doesn't mention what the variables for [Channel] and [Retail] are though, though I guess they'd be something like this: quote:[EditionID] Yes/no? Have I missed any?

I'm pretty sure if you just delete that part it gives you a menu to pick from at the start of the installation process. Not sure if that includes a Retail/OEM choice or if you need to declare that before, though.

What's the easiest way to create a USB key with a folder on it (some 20 GB) and an installer script/exe/whatever that will take the folder and copy it to a destination on the C: drive. It needs to be easy enough for a bus driver to use. I haven't used Windows in ages so I have no idea how to go about this.

 Any suggestions for a USB password crack? Have a netbook with an unknown admin password, and rebuilding is out of the question. I tried Ophcrack but for one reason or another, it wouldn't boot - it would run through the standard Linux boot messages but at a certain point, stop making progress. What's my next best option?

I'm sure this has been asked many times but my searches have come up empty. I wrote a couple of classes for work that use embedded youtube videos. However, the classroom they are taught in do not have internet access (wtf). So, I need to download the videos somehow. This seems to be easy enough, except that I don't have admin rights, so I can't install anything (I really don't want to try and mess with our really, really dumb IT department to try and get them to install something). So, is there a youtube video downloader out there someone can recommend that doesn't require installation and isn't loaded with some creepy Russian spyware?

I'm looking for something very specific and my searches have turned up mostly empty. I'm making a rescue/utilities USB key with entirely portable applications and I'm looking for some kind of portable OS or PE similar to bartPE but more recent. The only stuff I've found was either pre configured bootable tools with apps (but no file manager for my other stuff or OS to run them with) or complete portable OS's like Tiny7 (but I think these are considered  ).Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm.. it says in the documentation that it needs windows xp (like bartPE)... I was hoping for something based on win7 but I'll check it out, thanks. edit: to clarify all I'm looking for is a way to boot a file manager with a rudimentary OS (if such a thing exists) letting me run basic tools if windows doesn't want to boot.

I know you've fixed this now, but kon-boot is an awesome program that dynamically rewrites the windows kernel on the fly, letting you login to any account with no knowledge of the password. 32bit version is free (64bit is a few bux) and you can make a usb stick using unetbootin. blunt fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Aug 12, 2011 |

I've recently tried to log into a college bookstore website with Internet Explorer 8 with 128-bit encryption on XP, but it will not complete the login. https://www.eaglepridebookstore.com is the site. When I go to the login screen, I get the warning about secure and non-secure content. I've tried selecting both with zero difference in results. I've reset Internet Explorer, tried adding the site to my trusted sites list, in compatibility mode, etc. Nothing works. Oddly enough, the process IS getting the correct password/username, though. If I intentionally put in the wrong password, it kicks me back to the login screen (as before), but it gives me the warning of an incorrect username/password. Firefox seems to work okay, though. Any thoughts?
