Windows Xp Default

[Elnora Heidrick]

Itravel to multiple offices (and multiple desks in those offices), and whenever possible I plug an external monitor into my laptop. Whenever I plug in a monitor I haven't used before, Windows defaults to "Duplicate these displays" - which messes up the arrangement of icons on my desktop if the external monitor is a different shape from my laptop's monitor. I then select "Extend these displays", and my laptop screen returns to its original shape - but my icons don't go back to their original arrangement. Grrrrr. Fast-forward a few days or weeks; I've got my icons arranged so I can find stuff again - then I go to a new office and it starts all over again. I'm tired of this.

Also looking for a permanent configuration setting...In the meantime I'm using Iconoid (free) - it lets you save the icon positions for different screen resolutions, and you can set it to automatically restore positions when a screen is plugged in (new resolution is set)

I've been having the same problem as you, and this seems to change the behavior for the next time you connect another monitor. I can't tell whether or not this changes the default behavior forever and for any non-specific second-monitor, but it seems to prevent the resolution on my laptop's screen from changing. I'd suggest routinely checking that before you attach any other monitor.

This will be resolved every time windows boots up. This should force Windows 7/8/8.1/10 to select always Extend Desktop.All you have to do after saving that text file is to double click on it, or select it then hit Enter key. Windows will ask your permission to merge it with Windows Registry, just click on "Yes" button, then click "Ok".

My windows 10 home PC now uses onedrive as the default file storage location (even though I am not signed in). It's inefficient every time I want to save an office document to have to navigate through multiple file folders out of onedrive to dropbox and the desired folder. In the default app setting, I can not change this. Is there a way to have the dropbox folder on my pc set as the default saving location? Does Windows 11 work the same way now? Thanks!

This is happening for me and my team too, it seems like microsoft did an update last week and it's defaulted every save to ondrive, even if it's not installed. It's infuriating, and we really need a fix. Help!

There's no JAVA_HOME environment variable these days - it just seems to use some registry magic (setting the system path is of no use either). Previously, I've just uninstalled the JRE after I've used it to restore the JDK. This time I want to fix it properly.

When in development, I have a little batch file that I use to setup a command prompt for each JDK version. Essentially just set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk\sun\JDK_DESIRED and then set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%. This will put the desired JDK first in the path and any secondary tools like Ant or Maven can use the JAVA_HOME variable.

an alterable way to run an .jar app is create an .bat cmd for it.for example, you have jre10 and jre8 installed on your pc,and jre10 is your default jre.but your jar is specified to work with jre8,following cmd will work:

Stacked by this issue and have resolved it in 2020, in Windows 10. I'm using Java 8 RE and 14.1 JDK and it worked well until Eclipse upgrade to version 2020-09. After that I can't run Eclipse because it needed to use Java 11 or newer and it found only 8 version. It was because of order of environment variables of "Path":

MinTTY(the default terminal of MSys2) description -git bash will use MinTTY as terminal emulator, which sports a resizable window, non-rectangulat selections and Unicode font. Window console porgrams (such as interactive Python) must be launched via 'winpty' to work in MinTTY.

windows default console window, description- git will use the default console window of windows ("cmd.exe", which works well with win32 console programs such as interactive Python or node.js, but has a very limited default scroll-back, needs to be configured to use a Unicode font in order to display non-ASCII characters correctly, and prior to windows 10 its windows was not freely resizable and it only allowed rectangular text selections it?

I always edit the registry to set the default username and domain name. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon is the file path, then under DefaultUserName I enter the username I want and then I often have to add the string DefaultDomainName so it includes that too. It works for me.

What is the proper way (using grub2) to change the boot order in the boot menu?

I currently have Fedora 37 installed in a dual boot configuration with Windows 11.

Fedora is the default option, and I want to have Windows 11 as the default option.

Thank you!

The other entries (I expect including Windows 11) are in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as menuentry items (each multi-line in what should be obvious overall syntax). You can change the order of those menuentry items relative to each other and relative to the whole group of automatic items, by changing the relative order within /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Most documented changes that go into those are documented as changes to other files which end up modifying the way the above file and directory are automatically modified. Doing things indirectly is harder to figure out, but better documented and stable across things like kernel updates. But, so far as I know, there is no such indirect method of getting the change you want.

I just tested it on my dual boot desktop and it always boots to the last OS/kernel selected from the grub menu (windows included) until the user selects a different one to boot. It works perfectly to remember and always boot the same kernel/OS even after a kernel upgrade has been done. The only exception I have seen is that if one has selected the newest kernel in the grub menu, then a kernel update will still give you the newest kernel to boot (the one just installed as first in the menu)

Hi, a few days ago I installed Zorin OS alongside Windows 11 on my laptop, and Zorin had set itself as the default operating system to boot into, so now I have to manually select Windows every time I want to boot into it. However I still find myself using Windows most of the time. Is there a way to set Windows as the default boot option, so that the computer will launch into Windows without requiring manual selection on boot? Thanks a lot.

I dual boot with Win 10 but always boot into Zorin first ..... my daily driver ..... but when I need to boot say into using Rescuezilla ..... to back up my HD ..... I must boot into it first upon starting my laptop ....

To do this I need to first change my boot order in my BIOS .... I suspect that you can do the same thing with making Win 11 the primary loading system ..... you will still get the choice to open Win 11 or Zorin but Win 11 should be #1 in the boot order which means it will open if you hit enter or just let the timer time out .....

When I record meetings in google meet through windows default screen recorder (i.e Win+Alt+R), the screen is recorded but the audio is not recorded and previously when I was using google chrome I was not facing this issue. I am using the latest version of Brave and my windows version is 21H1 OS build - 19043.1081

Hi,

This happens not only in the google meet website it happens in all the websites even in Youtube, it does not record the system sounds itself. All the permissions have been given to all the websites but still, I am facing the same issue.

6. In this case new excel opening by short cut is opens by "run as administrator". If you save the excel file and open it again , it is not opening in run as administrator . this Troubling in windows 11.

1. what you want to do, does not exist. it is impossible as you can only run .exe as admin.

2. why would you even want to do that

3. this ticket is about running an APP as admin. the user above is trying to run the app as admin by default every time, via opening a file to trigger the app, but he is not able to set it.

4. so this IS the answer: (external link removed by moderator)

Hello and good day. I have done what the instructions said and it's still asking for permission when I start the game. It's a game from STEAM. I have it downloaded on my external HD that's duck taped to my $1600 asus gaming laptop lol. I also have not done a restart as I had just done one literally right before and didn't think of it until typing this... I'm having no issues at the moment either except I would like to have this permission thing changed for this one game. It's the only game that asks for it every time so it's just annoying I guess. I learned I could do this from doing a Google search. Maybe I'll go back into the properties and take a second look or just try again. I just don't want to go poking around and mess things up by poking aroundand tryingto change things. Thanks for reading and taking the time to respond if you do. I did not even look at the date from the original post but you folks are usually pretty fast to respond considering the sheer size of the company and its customer base. Thanks.
