yes i'd need to ask again. the scenario is clear if both directory A and B are local storage areas. My question assumes that Directory B is in Dropbox. When the physical storage (in A) is mirrored in B (as u claim, not physically stored in B), I can access it freely via the Dropbox servers...

with reference to this article: Sync Files and Folders Outside Your My Dropbox Folder i'm trying to backup files/databases which are always in sync - for example, my Evernote notebooks and my lightroom catalogs. as such, i'm trying to understand the mechanics of MKLINK here. Let's say...

the discussion is going way off-tangent right now. none of the responses match what i was trying to ask. let me try to explain again. typically, i have Chrome and many other background apps launching on startup. Note that Chrome is the only app that launches in the foreground + maximized...

again, that wasn't my question. i'm on win8.1 x64 using start8 (which means i launch directly to the desktop and i don't use Metro). this question is about the desktop. Hope it clarifies.

thanks, but that wasn't my question. my question wasn't about having Chrome boot on startup, it was about how to activate focus to Chrome (with 5-6 apps opening on startup at the same time) when everything is loaded and idle.

i have a variety of apps in the startup folder which is set to launch on startup. eventually, i'd like windows to focus on Chrome (specifically on the address bar) so that i can start using it right away. i remember there's a command which could be added to the shortcut properties but can't...

i was scouring the web for solutions but found no exact remedy (closest being this page: http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/29192-searching-windows-explorer-kind-sucks.html) I have 100+ subfolders within 1 folder, and in each subfolder contains a video (in various containers, such as...

didn't get anything in particular. any further advice, please? thanks!

As above - i get these two errors sometimes when I'm merely surfing the web.. or when i'm editing photos in lightroom as well. crash files attached as requested. kindly help! thanks!

Hi, I'm not really sure how the WD software came about - the only WD software i downloaded was the diagnostic utility used to test whether my HDDs were in good condition, and it did pass the extended tests. where should i uninstall that SAM WDM driver then? as for the Razer drivers, i'm...

help anybody? :(

i totally agree with your statement - especially "it's displaying the desktop a bit too fast", when it has not started loading any programs or none of the desktop functions have started working (e.g. clicking start button, launching a file = unresponsive), till after it has warmed up.

ahh okay. anyone else facing similar issue as i do?

hi guys, it's ironic that after upgrading from w7 x64 to w8 pro x64, my system boots slower than before (from start to finished loading all startup apps). i used Start8 + remove lock screen to skip directly to desktop. While i do reach the desktop pretty damn fast, it pauses there for 5...

ok, there's new development. when i tried installing new drivers for my Asus Xonar DG soundcard, it always hangs halfway when installing (right before it hanged, there was a brief prompt, seems to ask permission for digitally signed drivers but it was too fast for me to catch it). the same...
