Not to sound judgy or whatever, because I'm honestly just confused and re-checking long-held assumptions: client-side mail filtering is still a thing people use?

I have no idea, honestly, I'm not really all that tech savvy when it comes to email, so I'm not even clear on that. I just liked how gmail filtered my inbox into different tabs/folders to keep me from having to scroll past a ton of promotional and social media junk to see my important emails. Can mailbird do that? Maybe they were talking about something else in that thread I linked to. If it can I'll give it another look. I imagine every email program has a spam filter but, this is a bit different.

If you want to set up filters to tag/move stuff into folders, you should really do that server-side in Gmail or O365 or wherever.

I asked this in the Windows 10 thread but it's probably better off here. I recently did a fresh install of Windows 10 because I haven't done so since upgrading from 8.1. I had this problem before and I can't remember how I fixed it. When I pop up the input switcher (Win+space) I have three options: English (US), Swedish (Sweden), and English (Canada). I only want the list to show the US English and Swedish options, because the Canadian input option is useless to me. My Region & Language settings are:  And only US and Swedish are available if I go to the input settings on the control panel:  so I have no idea why the Canadian input is showing up. Is it because I have my region set to Canada in the Region & Language settings? I'm pretty sure I fixed this without changing that  It's not hugely important I guess, just a nuisance. I just like hitting Win+space to quickly swap between two input methods and I don't really like having to cycle through three of them.

This is a weird request but is there any way to remotely control a Windows desktop from a laptop to do stuff like play music or video from the desktop local HDD? Example, my desktop has some music. I want it to play it locally on the desktop as if I were to just open Music and play. But, I want to do it from the laptop, from another room (Or in bed because I'm a lazy poo poo). I know about mstsc and VNC and stuff, it's not quite what I want. Basically I want an app or program where I can just connect to my desktop from my laptop and tell it to play some local files without having to actually remote in, because that fucks with playing movies and stuff. Is there an easy way to do this?

Teamviewer is a fantastic remote control application, and it doesn't log you out like Remote Desktop does, and seems to work better than VNC in my experience

Seconding Teamviewer, you can set the options to it where even if you have a movie playing in full screen mode on the PC that's being remotely controlled connecting to it doesn't even give a popup notifying you, there are also options that let you use the RC'd PC for music like you want.

Thanks guys. I know about Teamviewer (I use it at work a lot) but was really hoping there was some really simple way to do it built in or a light network only extension or something. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Windows 8.1 "Play" Can't find a decent explanation on how to set this up for Windows 10, where this has once again been renamed to "Cast To Device", and may or may not support dlna. Yes. No. I don't know. If it doesn't, that's a no go. There's heaps of people complaining it's not available from the Edge browser, which you don't care about. Other people mention casting from Explorer, which doesn't seem as convenient as having the playlist in your local media player. I can't test it here; have fun googling it. But it is in theory the function you are looking for, I think.

Do you have a smartphone to hand in this scenario? iTunes + Remote for iOS does exactly this; for android there are a couple of programs called 'Remote' that do the same thing.

Finally upgraded my work PC to 8.1 (had an old laptop w/ 7 and my resistance to change was done in by my cat knocking it off the coffee table and busting the hard drive, because I was one of like 3 people left with a mechanical HD.) Anyway, quick question related to Outlook notifications (2013.) 1) It seems I'm stuck with it appearing in the upper right corner of my main display? I searched but it doesn't look like I can change the location. 2) Most of my contacts don't have a picture set, and the default Office grey blob is blurry as gently caress in the notification:  It's barely larger than the icon displayed in emails yet looks like it's hang the resolution. Can anything be done about either of these issues? DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Feb 11, 2016 |

I have an Android smartphone (Moto X Style), but I really don't want to use iTunes or Chrome (I like Firefox). I was hoping there would be a way to remotely control without needing a bunch of extra programs. It's not really a hassle, I was just curious to see if it could be done with the standard Groove Music interface, but it appears you can't. Ah well.

I need a software to back up important folders on my hard drive, preferrably in a cloud-type-thing So far I've looked into Google Drive and DropBox, but neither seem to allow simply right-clicking a folder on my hard-drive, to back it up There's "Boxifier" for DropBox, which seems to do that, but it costs money (which by itself would be OK) but/and I've also never heard anything about it Anyone have any tips or experiences?

Is there anything to be done about programs that won't use the default sound device? The only thing I could think of was to either disconnect the sound device this program is obsessed with using, or set that device to not allow exclusive use by programs, neither one worked.

Slash posted:Does this not work? Well... not exactly. "Send To" DropBox apparently simply copies that folder into the DropBox folder, which means I'd have it twice on my hard disk, which is not what I want. Also, if I create new files in the original folder, the folder in the DropBox does not get updated. As far as I understand it, it's not a feature built into DropBox, or else 3rd party software (http://www.dropboxwiki.com/tips-and-tricks/sync-other-folders) wouldn't exist? For some reason Google Drive isn't listed in "Sent To"

Is there a way to give a specific EXE admin rights to install without needing the password? 99% of our laptops do not have admin credentials and we are looking to deploy AnyConnect to them. Until we get System Center CM up and running we don't really have a way to do it (that I'm aware of, I'm a newb to this level of stuff) without touching each laptop. If there's a better spot to post this, let me know. I've never really asked the forums for help like this before.

What would you suggest I replace my AVG Antivirus free edition with? It asks me to restart every week and has desktop notifications.  Googling suggests the 3 options of: Avast, Bitdefender and Windows Defender has been good enough for a while now. What do you think?

Maels posted:What would you suggest I replace my AVG Antivirus free edition with? Avast is literally the worst AV for notifications; if you want to use it and remain sane turn it into gaming mode and leave it there to suppress them all. Avast used to be awesome but has been embroiled in enough tracking and security drama in the last 18 months to be best avoided. Bitdefender free and Windows Defender don't have desktop notifications.

Ok. I haven't had AVG actually detect anything for over 2 years now so I'll try going Windows Defender only if Avast literally does anything but shut the gently caress up and make me feel good. Thanks again.

Is there any simple way to foil admins from DameWare-ing in to my PC without invite? I'm on a BYOD notebook on the work domain via a VPN off-site. Out of the blue someone remotes in, takes control of the mouse and keyboard, opens up a command prompt pastes something into it and I'm logged off and the device restarts resulting in losing everything I was working on. Turns out the culprit is someone from the managed service provider in India and he remoted into the wrong machine. I was just going to block port 6129 at the firewall, and if someone legitimately needs in, they could call me, but maybe there is a better way?

If you have permissions to block the firewall you should be able to do the above without any problem.
