BrowserTraySwitch / Re: IE icon not captured in tray

« Last post by hpearce on August 14, 2009, 09:54 PM »

Double clicking the icon DOES open FF (even though tray text says IE); but if I select "VISIT HOMEAPAGE ....", IE is opened.

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: IE icon not captured in tray

« Last post by hpearce on August 14, 2009, 08:54 PM »

Versions 2.05.01

I deleted the saved registry setting file for IE and opened IE as default and resaved the settings.

What appears this time is that IE uses the icon for FF this time as that was the current setting before resaving the IE registry options (and setting IE as default).

As I recall, Opera was the default before when I was setting up IE the first time so it seems to capture the icon that was currently in use by either the tray or the default browser.

« Last post by hpearce on May 05, 2009, 08:11 AM »

Some of my icons have an overlay image ... a little grey box with what looks like a pen/pencil in it.
I have no idea what it means or where it comes from.  Any help would be appreciated.  Probably something stupid I should know.. See below

« Last post by hpearce on February 03, 2009, 06:00 PM »

in general I am happy with my 64 bit windows ... on ocassion there are programs I can't install.... I would say what is most noticeable is the lack of 64-bit compatable extensions.  Some of my favorite shell extensions are only available with a 32-bit file manager.

Of course, it isn't free either.

« Last post by hpearce on December 23, 2008, 05:51 AM »

I'd like the option to specify source and destination (for lack of a better word) ... search for duplicates of those files in folder A where they are found ion B,C, or D .... BUT not between the latter (I.E. between B and C).

This allows for quick checks without having to re-do the entire thing.

I've been using JING for alot of my captures recently.... it autodetects window regions as you move your mouse and allows for both image and video capture followed by immediate upload for sharing.

The last is a time save for me.

I certainly don't notice any speed increase whatsoever .  Ss for development, Opera is too busy satisfying the wants of their "geeks" to address the serious reguests of their "normal" users.

Ohh, it passes acid3 test ... let me rush out and ditch the browser that does what I want for Opera instead.

General Software Discussion / Re: Help needed to alter partitions

« Last post by hpearce on December 02, 2008, 08:00 AM »

Just remember that there are two types of folders here ... system ones like MY MUSIC, DOCUMENTS, etc. and folders u created.
U can move folders as you wish (more or less) but pointers from other programs or the OS itself , in the case of system folders, have to be modified.
There are programs to tell the system where the system folders are located. Your programs will have to reviewed usually under OPTIONS/PREFENCES to make sure they point to the new locations.

Remeber ... we are talking data folders here not program file folders... I strongly recommend keeping program file folders in place because of the registry entries.
