  1. Problems casting to TV

    To see the picture on both displays, use Win/P and choose "Duplicate". I don't know if this will take care of the audio issue or not. That may require something else to be done.
  2. May updates turned off my File Sharing and Network Discovery on Lenovo E595 Laptops

    In case others might encounter the same problem, after installing all of the May Windows Updates today, I was immediately unable to access, from my desktop, either of my two E595 Lenovo laptops over my home network. (I was still able to access the desktop from the laptops.) Trouble-shooting...
  3. Solved Evolving from Office 2003

    There is a useful utility that adds the "Menus" from the old pre-2007 Office versions onto any of the versions of Office that have the Ribbon interface, including Office 365. It is called "Classic Menu for Office", sells for $29.50, and can be found here...
  4. Solved Thunderbird Email Backup Plan?

    I use a program to copy/sync/backup Thunderbird to an external drive (or sometimes an SD Card, but over my local network works too) by copying (after closing the program) ONLY the "changed" files from the Thunderbird folders that are located in BOTH the C:\Users\(UserName)\AppData\Local folder...
  5. Data Folders Do Not Remember Screen Positions or Size

    I have been using a program called "ShellFolderFix" since Win 7 days. It works on Win 11 also and will do/fix exactly what it sounds like you want. Look here (it's on the Win 7 Forum): Win 7 Forum 'ShellFolderFix'
  6. How to fix this

    In my True Image 2019, I turn "Active Protection" OFF and can then manipulate and delete backup files at will.
  7. How to disable touchpad while using keyboard?

    Major Geeks has a utility that is supposed to do this and it's called "Touchfreeze". Look here: Download TouchFreeze - MajorGeeks (Disclaimer: Never tried it myself.)
  8. Solved Removing an USB3 SSD from Safely Hardware Removal

    It's does not precisely refer to what you are asking, but you might look at the following article for some help: Internal SATA Drives show up as removeable media https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/internal-sata-drives-show-up-as-removeable-media-1f806a64-8661-95a6-adc7-ce65a976c8dd
  9. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work - clean new installation of W11 Pro doesn't react on this shortcut

    On my AMD Lenovo ThinkPads, the functions for the FN key and the Ctrl key can be "swapped" in BIOS. It'd be good to see what your settings there are, since making the BIOS swap still leaves the keys with their original ("wrong") labels.
  10. Show us your CPU model

    AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (8-Cores, 16-Threads)
  11. How to remove the notification icon in the lower right corner of Windows 11?

    Is there possibly an error in one of the two codes, they appar to be identical.
  12. Any way to stop mouse going off screen when turning off 2nd monitor?

    Yes it does, however the shortcuts do offer an easier (for me anyway) "one click" solution for "getting 'er done".
  13. Any way to stop mouse going off screen when turning off 2nd monitor?

    Thank you for sharing your display shortcuts. I tested them on my desktop layout and they are perfect!
  14. Any way to stop mouse going off screen when turning off 2nd monitor?

    I'm unable to test this at this moment, but memory says that it fixes this to choose the "Show only on 1" on the multiple displays drop-down list. Then when wanting to once again use both monitors, selecting "Extend these displays" on the drop-down list. FWIW, this also seems to keep my...
  15. Office 2003 update keeps failing

    This is not answering the question exactly as you asked it, but Office 2003 is installed on all of my computers and since, over the years, I have done many fresh installs, I keeep a permanent copy of that update which, as has been suggested by others here, I downloaded from the Microsoft Update...
