  1. How do I hide media controls on the lock screen?


    I want to be able to still use media controls normally while I'm logged in, but don't want it to appear on the lock screen. Chrome has a setting to disable media controls, but that disables it entirely, which I don't want. I just want it to be hidden on the lock screen.

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

    How do I hide media controls on the lock screen?

    Locking/Hiding Folders.

    Hi,
    I'm just looking for another program that would let me hide/lock some of the folders on my computer. Of course, easy to use and doesnt effect my computer in anyway.

    I am using "Folder Lock" at the moment, but it is causing some trouble with blue screens popping up randomly (the windrvNT.Sys). I did a little research and was told that I either need to uninstall Folder Lock or rename the windrvNT.sys file, but it's such a pain; so thats why I'm here looking for a better program to lock/hide my folders/files.

    *Note: I'm looking for a "program", not a trick *Eek! How do I hide media controls on the lock screen? :eek: .
    Thanks in Advance~
