    Desktop & Program Icons are mussing.

    I’ve used a program called X-Setup Pro specifically for those shortcut arrows. The devs have ended support a long time ago. It works on W7 and earlier but I can’t vouch for W10. Look up x-setup.net for the official statement and serial.

    Looking for a good Backup software.

    Look at SyncBackFree. I just took a look in the help file for the program and the basic operations cover group profiles, for one. I use it for simple manual backups. I create a folder, name it, and direct what I want copied into it.

    Is my phone carrier unlocked?

    I’m guessing that at the time I put the phone in service, any account discrepancies in regard to that phone would be brought up. I’m not the original owner of the phone and I have no idea if the seller was either. The whole question arises because the seller said it was carrier unlocked and I'm...

    Is my phone carrier unlocked?

    Thank you, Supersnake, for the reply. That tells me how to unlock it by putting a different carriers sim in and if the prompt comes up, that proves the phone wasn't carrier unlocked. To avoid the labor of hunting down another carrier's sim and installing it, I'm going to ask if there's another...

    Is my phone carrier unlocked?

    I’ve got an AT&T Moto X phone that I picked up second hand a few years ago and used on the AT&T network. I reset the phone and pulled the sim card. My question is if this phone is carrier unlocked, how can I tell that it is? Is there a clue in the settings or do I have to install a different...

    Fast, non-proprietary backup of many small files?

    Take a look at 2brightsparks.com. The Syncback freeware version of theirs I use simply copies and pastes whatever files I select into a folder and there it is. Various backup profiles can be retained and executed in one click.

    Windows 7 SP1 Fully Patched 1 hour

    I followed the steps in Tiberian’s guide to integrate the updates for a new Win 7 SP1 install disk, or should I say, USB stick. (Post #6.) His coding was spot on and so the whole process proceeded smoothly. For some details, I started with a 2.75 GB SP1 install.wim file and after the 225 update...

    Your first OS

    98SE on an Aptiva. Added a Voodoo 3-3000 and maxed out the ram to 256mb. It ran CFS (MS combat flight sim) just fine on the Zone. Still have it, btw.

    Best backup / restore program for outlook?

    My ssd format and re-install plan is constantly updated and what I mean by that is I have a doc that lists the software that I am using, with any reminder that helps. I use it as a guide for knowing what I should have backed up and reminds me how do it. And for remembering the Outlook settings...

    Best backup / restore program for outlook?

    It's not exactly a software program for backing up but what I do with Outlook 2003 for backing up is just "export" the settings. Begin with "File" then Import and export, then "export to a file", "Personal Folder File (.pst)". Select "Personal Folders" and "Include sub-folders". This will...

    Slipstreaming updates separate from OS

    I see the time saving benefit of letting Win 7 tell you what updates are needed. I've just downloaded the updates that a list on Win Toolkit pointed me to and so I may have more than is needed. I like your idea bigdogchris. I think I'll go that route.

    Slipstreaming updates separate from OS

    Thanks for responding, Demon10000. Now I need to learn programming! (Because, out of curiosity, I'm trying to see if that code points to the folder with the .msu's.) Anyway, I was picturing that some slipstreaming software would do the task.

    Anyway to clean the microswitch for left click on G500 mouse?

    Was the left click doing a double click? It's posted around that it can deteriorate to that. Well, my MX Performance started doing that so I replaced the switch with one that, well, works. I'll add one thing: I wouldn't have gone through the trouble if I couldn't find a switch that was at least...

    Slipstreaming updates separate from OS

    Windows 7 SP1: So far, all of the slipstreaming articles I've found talk about integrating the updates with the OS .iso and end up with one disk. What about creating an installer disk having just the updates? Has it been done or will it work?

    Speed of wiping an ssd

    I have an Intel 510 120gb ssd with 35gb's of data on it. If I were to secure erase it, how much time would it take for it to complete? The idea is to demonstrate to a buyer that the drive works then wipe it before handing it over. Are we talking mere minutes?

    Good software for recovering corrupted files?

    I've used BadCopy Pro a few times for corrupted CD's.

    Which version of keepass?

    I've been using StickyPassword for several years now. You can access your passwords on another computer via a USB key with the advantage of not leaving any files on that computer. In other words, it's portable. It has a lot of other features, too, that are worth checking out.

    I've used EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition and it is very easy to work with.

    Looking for a desk

    My desk happens to be a wooden butcher block style dining table. It's 5.5 ft. long and 3 ft. wide. The main difference between one of these and the so called computer desks is that there is enough room to put a sheet of writing paper in front of you along with the keyboard (of course, I'm using...
