General Software Discussion / Annoying McAfee refuses to quit
« on: July 16, 2023, 10:37 PM »
I'm running Norton on a Win11 OS. I had decided to totally uninstall McAfee. It's all gone, except for 11 visible files that show in a program called 'Everything'. All gone except for 11 png suffix files. They defy uninstallation. Worse, a McAfee pop-up appears several times every day, and I use 'close window' to get it off of Desktop, but it always comes back later, saying I'm unprotected, and I need to buy McAfee again. I also tried the McAfee 'uninstaller' but without success. What can I do, please (and thank you in advance).

Thank you. By the way, do you or anyone know the name of that program that keeps Desktop icons neatly arranged the way one wants it to stay?

Only one I've used is DesktopOK, doesn't keep icons in position but it does allow you to save/restore their positions.
Yes, that's the one. Didn't realize it can't  keep position, but at least it can save/restore position.

edit: For Windows x64 looks like the extracted subfiles are all titled in Slavic or something.

I'm glad I saw this. Been having trouble with my vision and new laptop screen displaying text a little smaller than I can comfortably read without squinting. Your problem is my solution, in a sense. I've tried your ctrl plus mouse wheel, and so far it works to enlarge text in Brave and Edge (which seems to stay that way until deliberately changed), as well as MS Word 2003 (which reverts with file switching).
My plain Jane mouse; Amazon Basics 3-Button USB Wired Computer Mouse (Black).
Even better yet, the browsers don't add an unwanted bottom scroll bar in the process; they just make text more readable. Thank you.

There's also the standard hotkeys, Ctrl++, Ctrl+-, Control+0 ... Zoom in, zoom out, and zoom 100%.

General Software Discussion / Re: Need help finding file on my PC
« on: February 19, 2021, 04:26 AM »
hi ich thys, try some dedicated search software like "Everything" -- makes it easy to find anything on your PC. Very quick too.

I found it.
The 'Everything' software cracked the case, even helped me track it down when target file was masked by tongue-twisting foreign spelling. Awesome.
Original title: Jesus Christ Superstar.
Title as found on Youtube mis- or foreign-spelled, possibly to fool YT admin into not deleting it; Jézus Krisztus szupersztár; I had kept the oddball spelling.
I had visually opened and searched that folder by roaming through and barely giving it a second look half a dozen times, using search terms like 'superstar' and just 'super', and no surprise that the foreign spelling failed to trigger a 'hit', and threw me off-track again and again until I was beginning to doubt my own sanity.
I have since retitled it to include both foreign and English spelling.
