A couple of examples which should be self-explanatory -

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.

i wont to start my app instead of explorer but i have had a bad luck, i tried many apps path on the shell value, and all of them worked fine but only my application didn't work, and i don't know why, my apps normally starts without any problem. this is the path of the registry that i modified.

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

Help, I have a Logitech M185 wireless keyboard and mouse. It wont work when I switch users. I have to restart my computer EVERY TIME. How can I fix this?

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

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

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

I want to make an OSX application bundle that installs a command-line tool. Is this possible, and if so, how? The docs make it sound like the keys APInstallerURL and APFiles in info.plist can be used for this, but they don't make it clear how.

I'm noticing a peculiar behavior in Windows Explorer. It used to work fine earlier but after reimaging my system with Windows 7 again I'm seeing this new issue.

The background:

If you open Windows explorer you click on the left panel folder and the right panel shows the contents.

The problem:

Currently when I click on a favorite link on the left pane, then the left pane immediately navigates to that folder's location. So if the folder is n levels deep then all the n folders are opened up on the left pane which makes it difficult to scroll.

Instead I need the focus to remain at the favorites link. Please find a screenshot below for a better visual understanding of what I mean:

I am using the Windows 7 Professional edition. I'm trying to google for solutions but it's very hard to google for this particular behavior.

We need a short throw projector with the following specifications:

• Screen Size: min. 200 inch
• Brightness: min. 3000 ANSI Lumen
• Distance Ratio: max. 0.6 : 1

Any suggestions?

P.S. I've found one: Optoma W316ST. It has very nice specifications. However, most people say Optoma projectors have very bad lamp life. So I'm hesitated.

I have a problem with the vertical scrollbar on one of my worksheets. Basically worksheet contains ~20000 rows and scrollbar is too big to use conveniently. However when I click and drag it, it changes to the correct size (appropriate to the number of rows).

Does anyone have an idea what can be causing this weird behavior? For the reference, workbook contains many worksheets and extensively uses VBA (so maybe it is something inside, but I checked whole project and looked at , I believe, every reference to this worksheet). Problem also occurs also in the Excel 2010 and Excel 2007 except dragging doesn't always help.

I can start and stop Windows hosted wireless network using commands;

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=mySSID key=myKey123456
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Created network uses 'Authentication: WPA2-Personal' and 'Cipher : CCMP' . I can not connect to this network using my handheld device which is using 'Windows CE OS 5.2' and Fusion wireless software. Wireless profiles support TKIP and AES ciphers for WPA2-Personal.

How can I set cipher or Authentication type of Windows Hosted Network?

I need to do set this registry value from command line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsCredentialsDelegation]
"AllowSavedCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly"=dword:00000001
"ConcatenateDefaults_AllowSavedNTLMOnly"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsCredentialsDelegationAllowSavedCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly]
"1"="TERMSRV/* "

I can't seem to get the REG ADD command right for this.

I am trying to allow saved password for RDP connections.

I'm not sure if this has come about as a result of pasting from a Windows generated Word doc into a Mac one but some of the paragraph formatting is now slightly off.

Is there a way to select blocks of text and force it to all have the same indent settings?

the text is repeating blocks like

THIS IS A HEADER

• [x]bullet point with some stuff
• another one
• same again

THIS IS ANOTHER HEADER

• [y]more bullets
• and again
• and so on

Since pasting, [x] bullets and [y] bullets no longer line up vertically

I am setting up 802.1x via wired or wireless (WPA2 Enterprise) connections in our office, backed by a OneLogin RADIUS server. The certificate is not self-signed, so it's not clear to me whether it's safe to import it into the Trusted Root CA store, but that seems to be the only way to enable certificate checking.

The certificate chain looks like this:

• *.us.onelogin.com
• RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G3
• GeoTrust Global CA (already in the Windows Trusted Root CA store)

If I only enable the GeoTrust Global CA in the Protected EAP settings window, I still get a waing in Windows 10, as if no certificate checking was enabled ("Continue connecting? If you expect to find in this location, go ahead and connect. Otherwise, it may be a different network with the same name."). The waing does not show if I import the OneLogin certificate in the Trusted Root CA store and enable it in the EAP settings. The "Connect to these servers" field is set to radius.us.onelogin.com, so a MitM attack doesn't seem possible with just the actual GeoTrust root certificate enabled?

Is this expected behaviour? In this (unrelated) Lync support article, it is mentioned that the Trusted Root CA store should only store self-signed certificates (which makes sense), and could cause issues otherwise.

Please recommend Linux Live CD which can access NTFS drives & Windows LAN network.

I'm trying Scientific Linux Live CD, but i'm not able to access NTFS drives [also not able to install ntfs-3g]. Although, I'm able to access the Inteet, Not getting access to LAN network [Windows PCs].

It would be better if I could make a persistent bootable Live USB instead of buing to a CD.

Thanks.
