I wish I could have a droplet that has the encryption pre-selected. That way, it will be much easier to use for people who might otherwise be overwhelmed by the 7-Zip options dialogue.

What utility do you use to generate the encrypted ZIP files? What encryption algorithm is used? Is it AES-128 or AES-256?

I think, that’s the approach I am going to take.

When sharing flash drives with others, I want to make sure I'm securely erasing old files—not just removing them from the directory, but completely wiping their actual contents. What utility software would you recommend for this? Ideally, I need a tool that: Securely deletes every single...

I have a local account that purposefully set up without any connection to a Microsoft account. Is there a way to enable MFA (multi-factor authentication) on such an account without tying it to a Microsoft account?

The account is a Microsoft 365 family account. The email domain is registered through Network Solutions, with Network Solutions also providing email service for users in the domain.

Trying to log into my Office account. Logging in with [email protected] works at office.microsoft.com, which redirects to m365.cloud.microsoft. I am logged in: However, when I click on “View account,” I get another login screen and log in with the same credentials. That, in turn leads to this...

I will have to check that out. Is there no way to simply toggle between the screens?

I frequently use Remote Desktop to maintain Windows hosts I manage. Many of them have to monitors attached as screens. My Remote Desktop client will only show one screen. Can I make the client software toggle between both screens?

I am uploading approximately 57 GB of files to OneDrive. It appears the transfer speed at the beginning of this upload was considerably faster than it is now. Over 10 hours have passed, and it is currently 11:43 PM EDT. I am wondering whether this is due to active throttling of users consuming...

In Windows the files copy without issue (so far, at least): But then: I think, I have to give up on this. If a file is being written to, it makes sense that it would not be able to be copied, unless the file system has file-level snapshots, and the copy operation access the snapshot of the...

I am trying to copy files from the network share of a Windows 11 Pro host to another host. My MacBook Pro throws up this error alert in the Finder: rclone running on a NAS says: “Failed to copy: failed to open source object: failed to open: open v23\data01\accounting\SYSTEM SETUP.adt: response...

I did that, and it also did not help.

I have an HP Envy 17t-cr100 that is not turning on. When I hit the power button, the LED lights up for ~5 s, towards the end of that the Caps Lock LED lights up briefly, and they both turn off. Nothing else happens. I have tried the power reset by holding down the power button for 15 s. It has...

I totally agree. The problem is that even with that information, I would not have access to the laptop in question.
