  1. General Turn On or Off Expand Folder in Navigation Pane of File Explorer in Windows 11

    Yeah... they are there. Still, would be nice to have the option to keep them displayed in a dedicated persistent pane, so that they don't scroll out of view with the rest of the tree.
  2. General Turn On or Off Expand Folder in Navigation Pane of File Explorer in Windows 11

    Unfortunately, this does not work for "special" folders, like "Downloads", "Music", "Pictures" (and everything under them), when such folders are entered through Quick access pane link or a shortcut. On the one hand, I understand the rationale behind this: these special folders are usually...
  3. Repairing "special" folder icons in 24H2

    Not clear how or why. Reducing the icon size does affect such icons as "Contacts", "Favorites" and "Links" (turning them into plain folders), bit not "Pictures" or "Videos". Both "Pictures" or "Videos" are supposed to retain customized icons even when you make them very small. Fixed what...
  4. Windows keeps loosing exe icons

    So, this is specifically about icons in the Taskbar, right? What about icons in other locations for the same programs? Do program icons in Start Menu also change? What about icons in File Explorer, if you go to the actual physical location of the executable? As for the Taskbar: are you talking...
  5. Forcing Edge to scroll to an #id

    It appears that they've made some changes in one of the recent Edge updates. If the address bar contains an URL with an #id, simply hitting Enter for the same URL in the address bar now causes Edge to re-postion the page to that id.
  6. Solved Forcing Win+Shift+S to actually save screenshots?

    Oh, OK... What I forgot to mention is that Snipping Tool is not installed on my machine. Win+Shift+S defaults to the built-in screen-grabbing functionality instead of Snipping Tool. So, apparently the answer is: install Snipping Tool and let it take over everything related to screenshots...
  7. Solved Forcing Win+Shift+S to actually save screenshots?

    In my fresh install of 24H2 the Win+Shift+S combination (same as plain PrtSc) just silently captures the selected area of the screen to the clipboard. No option to postprocess the captured shot (re: Windows 10) or save it to a file is offered. If I recall correctly, this is a "relatively recent"...
  8. Poll on Backup software

    No, it cannot. And we don't appreciate suggestions to "ask AI' in this forum. Please refrain from making such suggestions in the future, even if you have nothing better to do. (That is unless you are implying that the thread starter is an AI.) And no, it is not "obvious by context". Speaking...
  9. Poll on Backup software

    The tread tile refers to backup software, while the poll is about drive imaging software. While these topics do intersect to a considerable extent within certain application contexts, they are still not the same. So, is it supposed to be about backup or drive imaging? The OP insists on doing...
  10. How to delete OneDrive

    What exactly do you mean by "delete" OneDrive? You want to delete your OneDrive account? You want to delete (uninstall) OneDrive app from your PC? You want to delete the downloaded files, including the problematic one?
  11. What is going on with Microsoft Print to PDF in Win 11 24H2

    Yeah, can confirm. A clean install of 24H2. Trying to print through "Microsoft Print to PDF" from Edge produces a file of size 0. Meanwhile, printing through the same "Microsoft Print to PDF" from Word or Acrobat Reader works perfectly fine. P.S. Weird. After a few tries it started working in...
  12. Force Windows to reload color calibrations

    Yes, loading the LUT makes color rendition much better for all applications (not as good as it can be, since the rest of the profiling info is stored in non-LUT-able part of ICM profile and used only by color-managed apps), but still better. Back in XP/7 era Windows could only associate the ICM...
  13. Solved Font files in SharedDLLs registry folder

    No, it isn't. Virtually kind of shared resource can be registered by applications under SharedDLLs with their reference count. The key name suggests it was originally intended for DLLs, but it quickly became clear that the same reference-counted sharing logic is needed for all kinds of files...
  14. Desktop folder shows on desktop and exactly the same in file explorer.

    So, if I understand your correctly, when you save files to your actual desktop (aka "desktop proper") they are not saved to your actual desktop (they don't appear on your actual desktop), but instead they are saved to that weird folder. Is my understanding correct? In this case the key...
  15. Move Users Folder Location in Windows 11

    ... and another tidbit: Just like in Windows 10, the installer fails to create the C:\Documents and Settings junction properly. Even if you successfully relocate your Users folder to another drive, the above junction will still stubbornly point to non-existent C:\Users. This is probably not...
