How can I configure Norton so when I plug in a USB thumb/flash drive, it automatically begins a scan of the USB drive --- or at least the files that the user is attempting to open? I used to get an option to scan - now it doesn't even prompt me to scan at all. How can I force a scan everytime...

When I put a checkmark in the "Run task only if the current device is attached", it is not saved - when I go to edit the task again, the checkbox is cleared. The other checkbox ("If missed, run the task when device is attached") remains checked. Anyone else have this? Is there a way to get...

If a non-admin user tries to access to which they do not have permissions they get a UAC popup prompting for an admin password. If an admin password is entered, my understanding is that they then permanently get rights to that folder. What sort of permissions do they get: read, read-write...

This issue is driving me completely crazy. I have several Windows user accounts on my home PC (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit). I moved the "My Documents" and "Desktop" folders ("personal folders") to an alternate location for better backup managability. I used the Windows "Move Location"...

Here's my setup: I've got a laptop (WinXP) and a desktop (Win7) both connecting wirelessly to my neighbor's network (with permission). So the two computers cannot really "see" each other. The printer is physically plugged into to desktop (via USB). Is it possible to wirelessly share the...

Does Norton 360 provide a complete solution that makes installing something like Malware Bytes (for extra protection) unnecessary? Can they run side-by-side, anyway? Thanks, Eliezer

I'm looking to protect my new (dual-core, Win7 64-bit) PC. It's completely clean of viruses, etc. now. I cannot figure this out - there are so many conflicting rants vs. raves about everything I read about. I'm considering two possible solutions: Panda Anti-Virus Cloud AND Spy Blaster...

What is the maximum number of user accounts that can be created in Windows 7 - in Home Premium and in Professional? Thanks, Eliezer

I spent a bunch of time Googling this but couldn't find the answer... I am looking for software that will disable the eject button for the CD/DVD drive door for specific Windows' users (e.g. my kids :-)) on my PC. I found a number of programs that lock the door for all users altogher. Is...

I a complete novice in this area, so please keep any replies dummied-down appropriately :-) The previous owner of our home had two phone lines working. We cancelled one of them. We have a "two line" jack that, in order to use it, I have a splitter that splits one jack into three. But only...

What does Acronis True Image Home 2010 do that the built-in Win7 (Home Premium specifically) back-up utilities cannot do? In other words, is it worth buying for $50? Thanks, Eliezer

I just got a Windows 7 (Home Premium) PC. Are the built-in backup utilities in the OS sufficient or is it necessary to purchase Acronis? Thanks, Eliezer

I have a brand new (not yet powered up) Windows 7 Home Premium PC with a 320 GB HDD. I have two knowledgeable friends who are advising me two different ways: one says partition the drive into two: (1) OS/installed apps and (2) data on the other drive. The other friend says leave the drive...

I tried Googling this but couldn't find the answer... I am creating "standard user" accounts for my kids on our home PC (Windows 7 Home Premium). I do understand that "standard users" cannot un/install software. That's good. But can they delete, let's say, files/folders from (for example)...

Can I - a parent and admin on my home PC - block a user on the same PC (my child) from seeing or using the DVD drive? How? Thanks, Eliezer

I am about to buy a Win7 PC. The last feature that has me confused whether I need Home Premium or Professional is the "Windows XP Mode". I have a lot of software that I currently use on my XP Pro PC. What exactly will that "XP Mode" gain me that I won't be able to do/run in Home Premium. Any...

My WinXP Pro PC just died and I'm buying a new Windows 7 PC. There are two features I very much like and would like to know whether Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional have both of these: "Fast User Switching" like in XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/279765 The other feature I am...

I'm working on a Winforms app. I have been Googling and Googling and cannot find the answer to what appears should be a very simple answer - I would think. I have a DataGridViewComboBoxCell that I get from this:DataGridViewComboBoxCell notGoodEnough =...

The user of my app wants the "enter" key to function like the "tab" key, e.g. to navigate from field to field. I found a good idea here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/371329/how-to-make-enter-on-a-textbox-act-as-tab-button/503814#503814 The problem is that although clicking the tab key...
