Hi guys! Thanks again for all your help...just wanted to say...bit busy at the moment and will get back to this explaining more about this... Just don't think I am ignoring you..... bookie32

Hi guys Sorry, this is so frustrating....nothing personal intended....my apologies... jaclaz This link had a suggestion http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/7aaa9657-123e-4b4e-b31b-4e04543c13cf/windows-7-local-shortcuts-do-you-want-to-open-this-file-warning?forum=w7itproperf I found this little program for checking ADS generally... http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_data_streams.html When I ran the program on the whole favourite folder it didn't find any Zone Identifier - but found a ton of favicon data.. they say this about the data.. bphlpt I thank you for running tests to try this I see what you are saying and will look at doing it that way for the time being... I also did some digging in the gpedit.msc...but it is a jungle...and after testing implimenting several security options I gave up... It is an interesting question......lol bookie32

Hej Igen! I find it hard to Believe that no one else organises their shortcuts to websites on the computer and not via Internet Explorer's organise favourites... There must be others that have found the actual settings in Internet Explorer that allow movement of url's on the computer without the annoying popups...!! I have tried changing UAC...nada..tried secuirty levels IE....nada....tried adding information to gpedit....nada bookie32

I don't ignore the advice of members on this forum?!! I followed the advice in your link and it doesn't change a thing just as is written in a post in the link.... bookie32

Hi again! No one has had this problem? bookie32

Hi again! Sorry I got busy with stuff and then this wasn't important... OK! I open two instances of my favourites in my user account and move url's between folders to try and get some order...and everytime I do this a security warning pops up and asks if I really want to do this....!! There must be a way to stop this happening? bookie32 PS Here is a pic...sorry in Swedish

Hi again! Well, an update on this saga from Microsoft!! I have another HP DV6 with the same symptoms as before - but this one has the KB2834140 update installed.... That so called update isn't fixing the problem on HP DV6 laptops....!! bookie32

Hi Bug_zs! I appreciate the offer - but want to look for the cause first.... bookie32

Hi jaclaz! Is this the same MS who, in their wisdom, released a OS called Windows 8 and 8.1? I am sure that they are smarter than that....? One thing about Windows 8...all the local stores in our Town only sell Windows 8, so pensioners, who often have limited skills regarding starting and turning off computers, are stuck with Windows 8. Well as we know the sales of Windows 8 has been terrible...so, my internet suppliers have many models from most manufacturers with windows 7 installed on them with the option to upgrade to Windows 8 - if you are stupid enough to do that.... bookie32

Hi MagicAndre1981! Wonderful! I have given the computer back as said above - but will be visiting this customer with other computer issues in the near future and can fix this then... Thank you so much for your time! bookie32

Hi guys! I have checked drivers etc and can't see any problems... I can go through the shutdown process and the computer turns itself off 7 times out of 10 but just hangs at times.... I usually hold in Power switch when this happens....funny thing is when Windows restarts I am not getting any warnings and can't see anything specific in the log? Has anyone any suggestions how to work out what it is? bookie32

Hi again! Thanks guys... Jaclaz...tried the latest update for the Graphics card but still caused problems.... Joseph_sw...Had to let the computer go with IE installed and working without blue screens...my customer is using firefox and chrome without any problems...so we will see what transpires in the future... Thanks again! bookie32

Hi MagicAndre1981! Sorry, that was a Little remiss of me.... The KB file is to prepare (as they call it ) windows 7 for IE 10 but it causes nothing but blue screens on a lot of HP DV6 series laptops... Just wondered if they are still using this file for Windows IE 11... I havent Heard if they have fixed the problem or if they expect HP to do that.... bookie2

Hi guys! The issues surrounding the fated KB267038 on HP computers is a pain!! I have a customer computer which is a HP dv6. This model has had a lot of problems with the above KB. I was wondering if anyone knows if this bug has been passed over to the IE 11 as well? bookie32

Hi again! OK! Solved..... I found this post that helped with both problems.... Look at TheGoof... bookie32

Hi guys and Girls! Well, have just installed Windows 7 64 bits on my new build...All drivers installed - but when I connect my anywhere mx mouse it isn't recognised?! I have a Little Targus Hub USB2 and that isn't recognised either?! I have checked chipset drivers and have the latest - but that doesn't help? What can I try? bookie32

Hi Mate! Thanks for some greate info.... don't think this applies to the ignore button...I can read the emails and then they are deleted? The ignore is about removing emails directly they come in and not after reading...if I am not missing something...lol I am just wondering if it is a setting that is wrong....not something I usually mess too much with...lol bookie32

Hi folks! I am not much good on Outlook 2010....lol Can anyone give me any hints as to why emails when read automatically get sent to the paper basket.... Is there a setting that could be causing this? bookie32

Hi Tripredacus! That isn't anything I have looked at.... Thanks for the info! bookie32

Hi Guys and Girls! I spend a lot of time trying to get through to my customers to avoid programs that speed up your computer and fix the registry etc. Unfortunately, not all of them listen!!! I have a computer with Winzip Malware Protector and Winzip System Utilities Suite!! I have Always thought of Winzip as a brilliant compression software - but this crap takes the cake it tells you that it has found infections and what level of infection and if you rely on the program to remove the so called infection.... The main problem with most of these programs is that the general public believe in the results and let the program remove the problems....and suddenly such and such program doesn't work etc!! I can link to photos if you would like to see the results of this scan...the software is in Swedish but you will get the general idea...lol I would like to hear of anyone else on this software... I use Malwarebytes in extreme situations but never recommend to leave it installed on the computer.... bookie32

Hi guys! Wow you have been busy here....lol Thanks for all the info! bookie32

Hi guys! OK...not doing too well with this utility. I have downloaded the portable 64bit version and start it on a customer's computer - but when I try acpi it freezes while building fpdt table? The hard drive seems to be busy and I have no Control over the computer at all? What gives?

Thanks for the update on this one! bookie32

Hi jaclaz! Now that is interesting Never quite looked at this from that perspective.... Thanks for the info! bookie32

Hi guys I haven't been around for a while....I know you har all had a rest from this old fart....had to deal with som health issues.... I would like to know in laymans terms more about the little system partiton that Windows 7 automatically creates when installing a fresh install of Windows 7. I never seem to get the time to apply myself to projects these days....partly to do with health issues!! anyway, sorry to run on....If I create a sysprep image of a computer - so that I have a standard image for most software - what happens to the system partition? What I mean is - I know that if I reinstate the image to a computer without the system partiton I have to run repair on first start up... What happens if I create a system partition when reinstating the sysprepped image...does repair automatically use the system partition,,,, If I remember correctly the system partition helps with encryption....OK tell me if I am wrong....please! Just want to know that if the sysprepped image is applied to a computer on which I create the system partition...will it be used? Do I need the system partition and if so in what situation should I have it? Sorry, I still have a hard time getting my little brain around all the technical sides of Windows; so please be gentle with me.... bookie32
