I want my account to be the "same" on Windows 8 and Windows 7, but that has proven difficult with my Win 8 account being a Microsoft-connected account. What exactly do I make my Windows 7 account name to ensure it is exactly the same as my Windows 8 account? I want to do this so I can easily...
Hmm, that's interesting you say this because I have another 3TB HD that only has a single GPT partition where all my data resides. No other partitions at all on the drive. For whatever it's worth this drive is connected through SATA while the one I took the screenshot for above is on eSATA.
Good Idea will try removing and rebooting. I don't even have Reserved GPT on my C: drive.. I think I read somewhere it's only for UEFI BIOS installs of Windows which I don't have.
Can I delete a GPT Reserved partition on drive with no OS?
See screenshot below. I know that I shouldn't delete the GPT reserved partition if I had an OS installed on this drive, but I don't. It's a pure data drive. I'd like to keep the J: and delete the Other partition if possible. Is this safe?
Looks like this is exactly what would do the trick for my request in my first post. But I've been convinced that an entire backup of my C: drive is probably the better choice at this point.
Hmm, I thought it also backed up\restored certain programs. For example if I restore to a point before I installed a program that program might be missing\not work correctly. It even gives you a list of programs that might not work right before you do a restore.
But in all honesty, it probably...
Was reading this tutorial: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/33910-restore-point-automatic-creation-disable-windows.html
And it says that "
System Restore in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 creates a scheduled restore point only if no other restore points have been created in the last 7 days."...
I have a ton of .rar and .zip files on my computer and I'm not sure which one's I've extracted and are okay to delte.
Is there a program that can automatically tell me this?
Found a solution.
Went to C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo and added shortcuts to the folders I wanted to be able to send shortcuts to.
Next, I just have to hold cntrl+shift and right click the file I want to create a shortcut for. Then go to send to and choose one of the...
When you right click a file and go to "send to" you can make it send a shortcut to the desktop. Is there a way so I can send a shortcut to a different folder?
Thanks. AVs are not perfect so I figure if I can see myself what a file creates I can manually inspect. I don't download suspicious files often but I think it'd be a useful thing to have.
Is there any program that will show me all the files and registry changes made when an executible is run? For example if I suspect something is a virus, after I run it I can see if the .exe created any new files or messed with something?
