  1. Taskbar: How to prevent individual icons from being joined together?

    . The last two lines in your screenshot might show the options that I need. But these lines don't appear in my dialog. The last entry that I see in my list is "Show seconds in system tray clock". I seem to recall that a Dev version of Win 11 allows users to do what I need. Thanks
  2. Taskbar: How to prevent individual icons from being joined together?

    . With Win 10, I used Taskbar Tweaker (TT) to prevent identical icons (for example, Firefox) from being joined together like a train: . . With Win 11, TT no longer works. Does anyone know how to stop identical icons from joining up. I want to be able to arrange icons from left to right in a...
  3. General Reset Folder View Settings to Default in Windows 11 File Explorer

    I don't know how to handle quotes within quotes within quotes. So I'll do quotes manually. @LesFerch said: Which folders are still a "mess" after running WinSetView? --------------------------------- I think that's just another example of my bad English. I was using a sentence in the present...
  4. General Reset Folder View Settings to Default in Windows 11 File Explorer

    . Exactly those columns :-) However, nothing is proved or disproved, because those are my preferred settings. However, some of my folders are a mess. I would like to do a global "reset" by changing ALL settings to those four values, then changing other folders individually on an ad hoc basis...
  5. General Reset Folder View Settings to Default in Windows 11 File Explorer

    I've advanced to the stage where I can run WSV without interference from BD. I had been using this link to disable BD: https://www.alphr.com/how-to-disable-bitdefender/ The link is dated 2021. But that's probably equivalent to 50 years by the speed of modern advances. For WSV, I accepted all...

    . Bit Defender (BD) is still blocking. I set the following BD option: - Protection > Advanced > Bit Defender Shield > Off I asked for 30 minutes, but BD was still blocking. So it's now set to wake after machine restart. But BD throws several popups about infections and disinfections. I...

  8. General Reset Folder View Settings to Default in Windows 11 File Explorer

    Just to add to my first post, I lost both gmail accounts in my Thunderbird. They were OK at startup this morning. My memory is no longer reliable, so I'm wondering how many other things are wrecked without my knowledge.

  10. Using viBoot to validate Macrium Restore - How long does it take ?

    I'm experimenting with Macrium Restore validation using viBoot. This is my first experience of any VM. Question: What is the absolutely earliest point during viBoot at which I can say that the Macrium Restore would be successful ? My guess would be the point at which I can see my normal blue...

  12. Does viBoot actually exist ?

    . I would be grateful if someone could post a download link for viBoot. There are hundreds of pages discussing viBoot - I counted them. But no download links :oops: For example: https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/display/KNOW80/Macrium+viBoot? Thanks .
  13. Macrium warning: The following drives will be overwritten

    . I have Macrium 8.0, Win 11 Home, Dell XPS 17. I want to restore all drives except DATA (D:) The second-last dialog in the Macrium process shows the list of "Operations". The D drive is not included in the list. That's fine. But when I click "Finish", I get the warning in the title. This is...
  14. Do I actually need 4 drivers for internal sound?

    I copied this entire post to my notes app, along with your previous post: Saturday at 9:10 AM Maybe they should make it a driver sticky (after removing all my posts). Disconnection from the internet would never have occurred to me. I respectfully suggest that you might want to add a final...
  15. Do I actually need 4 drivers for internal sound?

    I searched simply for "intel". There were several hits, but none for "audio" or "sound". I followed the remainder of your instructions to the end. Sound is working fine now. Thanks for your help.
