I often find OverType activated, when I was expecting INSERT to persist. I have tried cleaning under both INSERT keys, swapping the keyboard with another, swapping the P/S2 keyboard connection for USB. I experience this mostly in a DOS text program, but have also found it in Notepad of 32bit...

When I copy an image by means of a program similar to Win10's Snippingtool and paste it into Telegram, it usually offers to paste the photo - which is desirable; but sometimes it offers to paste ONLY a file; since the recipient then has to use an image viewer to see the image, that is less...

I've tried several ones I found on the net - each has some or other drawback. Wondering if I have somehow missed the ideal one which would have the following features : Win10-compatible [unlike ScreenMarker that loses the UNDO function in Win10], vertical toolbar and effective in secondary...

Acer Aspire 2000 (Cl32) runs WinXP/Pro/Sp3 and can be set to display in its native resolution of 1280 x 800 from its ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 video card. However, when it reboots, it reverts to 640 x 480, and often blames an absent or corrupt video driver. My remedy is to UNinstall the video...

I need a way of keeping GTalk in the foreground BY DEFAULT. Autopin tab in Options of Deskpins seems to offer what I need, but I've been unable to get it to work for me. I have used 'Window-on-top' and 'Always-on-top', but their effect only lasts till a reboot. Maybe some code can be copied from...

When I right-click 'Start' in my WinXP, the SEARCH lists StartMenu as the default location, whereas, in another WinXp system there is a blank i.e. NO location is prompted. So it must be selectable - how would one change that default ?

Four four months, Windows Live Mail in Win7 Ultimate 32 bits, behaved as expected. But now, I have to close it and open it a second time, because otherwise the bodies of emails are in the form of attachments. How can I restore normality ?

I edited the Internet Explorer 'icon' pinned to the TaskBar, so that I could change its target to some other program which lacks a 'pin to the TaskBar option'. That succeeded. I can now launch the other program from the 'converted' I.E. icon. However, something went wrong, in that the icon...

In the text-body of Text Editors, one can click the mouse in some position and that becomes the point where text can be entered. Can that be arranged for the situation of WordPerfect5.1+forDOS in WinXP ?

Sometimes Freecell in WinMe runs out of resources, but an indicator of RAM usage shows no lack of available RAM, so what else can be tweaked ?

There are programs which trigger 'expected newer windows version - update' when I try to install them in WinMe, yet the vendor of TK8 is adamant that it can run in WinMe. In fact he says that the text of the 'error' notification does not even occur in the code. I would very much like to have TK8...

It is possible to change the icon for shortcuts because there is a default store of icons accessible to the procedure for 'changing icons'. By what procedure can I add copies of the ones available at Free PNG Icons • Geekpedia to that default store ?

In Document and Settings I have Administrator plus two entities, whose names are variants on All Users and Owner. When I try to rename them back to All Users and Owner, I am told that it can't be done because they are 'System Files'. Surely at least ONE of them can be 'rationalised' ? If so, HOW?
