I agree, funny stuff, but why oh why did nearly all those searches occur 27th to 30th March???Could you explain anything because I get your sarcasm but have no clue what you are talking about.-Eóin (April 05, 2009, 07:10 AM)
off-topic perhaps, but some of the member avatars are sure getting weirder..Haha don't you love them-lanux128 (April 03, 2009, 10:02 PM)

I don't mean to sound rude, but your instructions are less than clear. I know how to change file types. I'm trying to convey the fact that when I change the file type, the icon does not change with it. I am left with the "generic" file icon.Sorry I was in a rush.-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 12:39 PM)
How to create these images, and what to do with it?Ah. I never thought about that. Good idea. I wish I had done that prior to this re-install. But I'll be sure to do that next time around (hopefully I won't have to).-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 07:12 AM)
I guess the ideal would be something like this
- Partition
- Install OS
- Defrag
- Create Image (of OS partition)
- Install programmes
- Defrag
- Create Image (of OS partition)
- Tweak OS (move My Docs etc)
- Create Image (of OS partition)
cant say I did it that way myself though

I feel stupid asking this, but I just can't figure it out. I just changed the default program for my PDF files from Foxit to Acrobat Reader, but the icons still show up as Foxit. It does open with Acrobat Reader now, but the Foxit icons remain. How do I fix this?Open up a explorer window and then click Extra (or tools or something) - Folder view and head for the tab file types. There you can change all kind of stuff, and the icon.-siouxdax (April 02, 2009, 12:23 PM)
Search the forum for OSD... I think lanux128 wrote a little script that does that.I've found something neat. 3RVX, supports skins. Not the wave thingy, but I bought some very nice t40 speakers today which do not need wave adjustment.-PhilB66 (April 02, 2009, 09:44 AM)
Hmmmmm I don't know too much about the custom keyboard buttons. I use HP PCs but I have a KVMA switch. I used to try to program the special buttons but every time I jumped to the other PC it messed it up, so I gave up trying.There already where plenty solutions to my problem, it is just setpoint interferes.
AutoIt3 has a very simple command built in to set the wav volume
SoundSetWaveVolume(percent)
It also has some hotkey facilities. The hotkey mechanism isn't as extensive as AutoHotKey but the syntax is easy to understand. It's a pretty good lanuage for a beginner programmer.
You'd use the HotKeySet() function to set the hotkey.
Then in the handler adjust the percentage up or down and
call SoundSetWaveVolume().
Should be less than 20 lines of code even if you set up the tray menu.
Just a matter of which keys HotKeySet() allows you to use.
I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
AutoIt3 has a forum

There are newbies asking for help all the time. Seems
like a pretty easy project to start with. If you get it
to work it will a lot more fun to use it. You could even
stick an icon with your name on it(well initials anyway,) on the thing.-MilesAhead (March 29, 2009, 01:15 PM)
In previous versions of Windows, there were special views you could set as the default, such as the picture folder type that had a much better viewer on the sidebar with a bigger thumbnail and could even display animated gifs. It was also possible in Win2k to have a media player in the sidebar for audio/video files.Well I guess that it could be modified as other software allows you to change themes and icons and stuff.
When XP came along, you lost the ability to have these custom folder templates, and you can no longer edit an existing one or even make your own.
One of the things I really miss from WinME is the pie charts on the sidebar when at the root of a drive. In XP I have to go to My Computer and right click a drive and view the properties to see it. I think having it automatically showing in the Explorer sidebar made me much more aware of how much space I was actually using or had left.-app103 (March 29, 2009, 11:53 AM)
At the keyboard section it says something about setpoint, but then it just opens it....
I've got some shortcuts on this keyboard, like phyisical keys. I also do not know wether the multimedia keys would work.
Have you looked in Control Panel? Sometimes those buttons have an applet where you can enter commands.-MilesAhead (March 28, 2009, 09:15 PM)
I've never had Logitech keyboard (and it's unlikely to change after reading your posts), but I firmly believe that you don't need Setpoint and that Windows built-in generic drivers would do. I got rid of similar product by Genius without any problem, however, according to what I just read, Setpoint is also a mouse driver.Lol at the gratz thingy.
Any experience with this, anyone?
(By the way, congratulations to your 100th post!)-yksyks (March 28, 2009, 03:08 PM)
Well yeah I can, but I do not know wether I can use the shortcutkeys then.And once again setpoint interferes with some hotkey programs.-Coeluh (March 28, 2009, 08:49 AM)
That's what I suspected. Can you disable it, or preferably drop it altogether? (Unless it performs something inevitable that cannot be accomplished with HotkeyP, of course.)-yksyks (March 28, 2009, 09:24 AM)
