I usually use LibreOffice Writer for creating documents, but I have access to Word if there is a Word-based solution. I have several .rtf files and want one file to have active links to the other files. But I need these to be relative file links because containing folder is going to be copied...

It looks like I would need Zoho Vault, and I looks like a free Zoho Vault account supports OneAuth. I just found some more OneAuth blurb that states "You can also use the OTP authenticator as a guest user without signing in or creating a Zoho account", but that didn't seem to be the case in...

Hmm. I just tried it and am not impressed. I fired it up. It said it was logging me on to some unmentioned site on the web. It then said my internet connection was blocked. Bitdefender says Zoho.OneAuth.exe successfully connected to Zoho address 204.141.42.84 so maybe I'm supposed to set up...

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

I just upgraded from 22H2 to 23H2 on several computers and, on my "primary" PC, spent over 30 minutes going over the Default Apps by File Type list making changes. (Some definitions were kept from 22H2 but many had changed to Microsoft's own apps.) I want to implement these changes on the...

It was just a drive performance test - ATTO Disk Benchmark. The drive essentially disappeared during the test. I downloaded and tried it. The short generic test failed but the utility gave no specifics. (That may be my not knowing how to use the tool.) I suspect the drive is truly failing...

Oh, my. I'm embarrassed to say that I have one of those somewhere. Sheesh! I don't have a spare cable with a USB3.0 micro-B connector. I did try another USB port and it didn't help. While it could be the cable, the failure happened only during big data transfers - a large backup and a disk...

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. A vertical orientation (such as some WD drives) would be more convenient for me, and I don't know if any of the enclosures are intended for vertical use, but I'll look into that

So I should include portable models in the list? Good. That was my thought, too. Here's one that says "old model". Here's one that says "old generation". I can't find one that says "old version" at the moment, but I'm sure I saw one.

I have an old 3TB USB3.0 WD My Book external hard drive that is dying. (Twice it has simply disappeared from Windows' view - once during a backup and once during a speed test. It had to be powered down and back up to usable again.) I'm trying to decide what replacement to get. The disk is...

As others have said, you're really going to have to reinstall the programs (which can be a royal pain). But if you are really careful, your Reflect backup can make life easier ... once you reinstall Reflect. Browse the backup's AppData, ProgData, and maybe application-specific files and...

I think you misunderstood my comment/question. I'm not getting hourly notifications from Reflect (and didn't even know they existed). These are just the "Backup started" / "Backup ended" notifications, and I want those. I am asking what would cause these notification popups to not...

One of the reasons people still use Windows is the number of programs that are available only on Windows (or Windows and Mac). Yes, there are even more programs that are available only on Linux, but I don't need them. Your assumption that people can just switch shows you don't live in the...

I have Macrium Reflect notifications turned set to "Show notification banners" on and "Show notifications in notification center" off. Usually the popup (which is technically a "banner", I guess) clears in a few seconds. Today I noticed on hanging around. I manually closed it an discovered 7...

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I needed. It will take me a while to digest that since I know next to nothing about Windows notification (the difference between a banner and a toast, for instance), and I have to reacquaint myself with object-oriented programming whenever confronted...
