A couple of examples which should be self-explanatory -

Notepad++

Visual Studio

The setup is an XPS13 (3200 x 1800) but the screenshots are from exteal monitors (2 x Dell U2414H 1920 x 1080) with the laptop display disabled. I have logged out and logged back in. The issue isn't present when running the applications on the laptop screen (again, having re-logged-in) so I believe it may be related to the applications thinking they have to upscale the fonts owing to the native high dpi.

In both applications I have tried adjusting the fonts via preferences, without success.

I'm not sure if there's a hidden setting I may be missing.

The Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 7 has a policy option to restrict the running of "scriptlets". This option can be found in Computer Configuration > All Settings > Allow scriptlets and looks as shown in below image.

Presumably scriptlets are files containing some kind of programming code, but I have some questions I would like to ask:

The policy says that it is supported on "At least Inteet Explorer 7.0.".

1. Does blocking scriptlets have an effect on the JavaScript executed in the browser when visiting websites?
2. Or are these scriptlets some code running purely locally?
3. What programming language(s) are supported for these scriptlets?

After having sent my Ultra Plus (128GB) to support, I got an Ultra II back. Though, I also bought a SSD Plus (240 GB) since I was lacking space for my games and software, and now I've got two SSDs. What should I put on which ? The difference may not be noticeable but I'd want to be sure.

I have games to install (Windows also, of course, which is currently on the SSD Plus, but moving it is possible), Visual Studio, Unreal Engine 4, common office software and all the rest (programming tools, TeamSpeak, Steam...).

Is there anything I should care about or do both have the same performances ? I don't really plan to store files on my SSDs (since I also have an 1TB HDD), except maybe Unreal project files and assets.

Thanks

At the windows System is displayed with the group symbol: . Also resolving it with Win32 LookupAccountSid retus SidTypeGroup.

On the other hand processes can run in the system context like in an user context. Also Microsoft documents describe it as "system user" or "system account", and not as "system group".

Is it a user which is for any legacy purposes displayed as group?

(Or is it something Weer Heisenberg would have been interested in?)

Edit This question ist not about what system should be used for. It is about why is system displayed and inteal resolved as group but behaves like an user.

I am trying to extract data from a worksheet using an array formula but it will only retu one (the first it finds) value. The formula I am using is: =INDEX($C$2:$C$8, SMALL(IF($B12=$B$2:$B$8, ROW($B$2:$B$8)-MIN(ROW($B$2:$B$8))+1, ""), 1)) found here: Link to Example When I follow the example, I don't get the same result as the person that posted the answer. Could the formula have been "fat fingered"?

I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon, and my desktop is currently very loose and hard to manage. Windows, however, has a desktop with a very rigid structure, with the icons in preset imaginary "boxes" on the desktop. The text on the also never overlap in Windows, which in Mint is annoyingly prone to. Is there a tool to manage my desktop in the way that Windows does?

I have a file extension .vbsc which is associated with cscript and i'd like it associated with something else, even calc.exe I just want to be able to change the association but I don't seem to be able to. But I can for other extensions. Below is a demonstrartion.

In the demonstration, I use assoc and ftype to create an association for a file extension .ab5 and the demonstration shows that works. I then change the association so it brings up another program, the demonstration shows that works. I then try it with my problem extension, and it doesn't work. And it's not because my problem extension is 4 char long, there are many long extensions.

There is a second demonstration below this one which I describe where you scroll down to it. So it's reading something else before ftype.

C:Usersuser>assoc | grep -i vbsc
.vbsc=VBS_Cscr

C:Usersuser>assoc .ab5=AB5file
.ab5=AB5file

C:Usersuser>ftype AB5file=c:windowssystem32calc.exe
AB5file=c:windowssystem32calc.exe

C:Usersuser>echo asdf>a.ab5

C:Usersuser>a.ab5

C:Usersuser>rem the above brings up calculator

C:Usersuser>ftype AB5file=c:windowssystem32charmap.exe
AB5file=c:windowssystem32charmap.exe

C:Usersuser>a.ab5

C:Usersuser>rem the above things up charmap

C:Usersuser>abc.vbsc

Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbsc".

C:Usersuser>assoc | find /i "vbs"
.vbs=VBSFile
.vbsc=VBS_Cscr

C:Usersuser>ftype | find /i "vbs"
VBSFile=%SystemRoot%System32WScript.exe "%1" %*
VBS_Cscr=c:windowssystem32calc.exe

C:Usersuser>

In this demonstration I delete the extension. It still associates with cscript.exe

Deleting the extension
