I confirm that I restarted the computer after applying a REG file. To make sure that I did not screw up my tests, I went ahead and ran many more tests with the results below. I note that before starting the tests I disabled Fast Startup so it will not affect hiberfil.sys file (like Reduced...

Hi Shawn Can you please confirm the following from my tests. In the key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power using Option 1 is changing the value for HibernateEnabled, where: Value 1 = hibernate is enabled and hiberfil.sys exists Value 0 = hibernate is disabled and...

I had seen that article, but it only covers normal Windows power plans stuff - nothing unique to HP. Thanks for trying to help. In any case, see my post above replying to garlin.

I think you are saying that if I remove SYSTEM's Full Control rights on my 2 custom power plans, "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes" will NOT remove my custom plans. Put another way: in the permissions of the "permanent" plans (Ex. the Windows default power plans) SYSTEM does not have Full Control...

Thank you for the suggestion. Running the troubleshooter did not find anything wrong (other than my display sleep time being longer than the default).

Thank you Shawn, I still have the problem. After some more research, the culprit is HP: in adding their "HP Optimized" plan they have "broken" the restoredefaultschemes functionality. For now, I am deleting all custom plans myself instead of relying on restoredefaultschemes. Other HP system...

Hi Shawn Can you please confirm the following? "powercfg -restoredefaultschemes" is NOT deleting all custom power plans. My test below: C:\Users\setoa>powercfg -restoredefaultschemes C:\Users\setoa>powercfg -LIST Existing Power Schemes (* Active) ----------------------------------- Power...

Hi Shawn. Is there a way to programmatically (registry tweak, batch/powershell, etc) clear Quick Access INCLUDING the default folders (Desktop, Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos)? In other words, I am looking for a "clear WITHOUT reset" of Quick Access, or a separate "clear the...

Hi Brink Just letting you know that none of the download links in this tutorial are working. Seto

I was VERY careful... I wrote: MAYBE this will help some of you... NOT an ideal solution but... "forcibly suggest" is nowhere near it. :wink:

Because I can? There is something wrong here. Nobody is forcing anybody to uninstall Paint. On the other hand, it almost seems like some of you are trying to stop others from voluntarily uninstalling Paint because they don't use it. How about let's all live and let live?

Maybe this will help some of you... The following worked for me to remove bitmap image: 1. Make IrfanView the default app for file type .bmp (Settings > Apps > …) 2. Uninstall Paint (Settings > Apps > …) 3. Restart File Explorer (possibly twice or even restart the computer) I can only guess...

Hi Shawn - some feedback... In my tests, the Windows 10 REG files for adding Windows Batch File and VBScript Script File worked fine. Are we doing something different? Concerning Windows PowerShell Script, the Windows 10 solution did not work but I found a solution in another forum which works...

HI Shawn, I use the new context menu a lot to create these files: - Windows Batch File - Windows PowerShell Script - Rich Text Format - VBScript Script File This tutorial did not cover any of these and I did not find any other tutorials either covering them. On the other hand, you have...

Hi Shawn, Quick question: is there a way to programmatically (batch script, PowerShell, via Registry, etc.) add or remove files from Favorites? This was possible in Windows 10 by adding shortcuts in “%UserProfile%\Links which would then appear in Favorites. But I think this is not the case...
