    Modify Windows application backgrounds

    I feared as much. Changing the way a browser renders a website would be fraught with difficulties thinking about it. I might give WB another go. Not used it for a while.

    Modify Windows application backgrounds

    What I'd like to do is change the default white background in my browsers and applications. I've used utilities like WindowBlinds etc but they don't do it. Isn't there a simple setting somewhere please? As you read this, you are seeing black text on a bright white background.

    Messed up formatting new drive

    I installed a WD Black 4Tb internal drive and when asked, selected to initialise and format it as GPT. Then I created three simple volumes and all was well. Then I made the big mistake of deciding I didn't want that and tried to install it again as an MBR drive. I did something wrong somewhere...

    Email hijacked?

    Yes thanks I understood the reason, what I don't understand is why! I have not sent out lots of emails - ever. So someone is using me to spam??? If so how to stop it. Is it my end or the host?

    Partition or Map drives?

    Thanks for your comments lastof. I've already ordered the WD drive and my NAS drive is WD too. I've used all makes of HD over many, many years and never had an early failure from any. However I am also aware that at one time or another, a manufacturer may slip and get a bad name for a while. It...

    Partition or Map drives?

    Ah yes GPT. I'd forgotten that, thanks. My OS and apps are on the SSD as you suggest. I use Lightroom to manage my photos and have a dedicate drive already so that will become a partition on my new drive.

    Partition or Map drives?

    I am shortly replacing 3x 2Tb hard drives with a Western Digital Black 4Tb in a major reorganisation of my system. Currently my drives are not partitioned and folders have become badly organised as I was led to believe that partitioning wasn't a good idea nowadays. A few folders are mapped...

    slow loading of explorer file lists

    I can't help, but it sounds like the same issue. Applications opening an Explorer window are not picking up configuration data? But who's error is that??

    slow loading of explorer file lists

    Thank you, I checked and there was a thumbnail db cache set up but to be sure I downloaded the reg file to enable it too and will see if it helps.

    slow loading of explorer file lists

    I'm sure that's right. I am going to search for some utility that will analyse my drives and report on numbers of files and folders. I may need to subdivide further. But it makes a nonsense of having 2Tb drives doesn't it?
