    I'm going to run a program that I know is going to take a long time to finish running. and I sometimes have a habit of closing important windows by accident. how can I temporarily lock a window to prevent this.Tried to find this answer online and all I got was people trying to figure out the opposite.

  2. Windows 7 Snipping Tool / (Screen Shots-Capture)

    1. In the Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab first check ( tick ) the Show hidden files, folders and Drives and then Apply.
    2. Now navigate to C:\ Program Data \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Program.
    3. Inside this Program folder , you will find the 'Accessories' folder.
    4. Drag and drop the Accessories Folder on your Start Menu or All programs.
    Did this work ?

    If all works again i suggest to go back to Step 1 and re-select Don`t show hidden files. folders and Drives then Apply. so you don`t accidentally delete some of these.

  3. Laptop temporarily locks up after Windows Installed version 21H2

    Guess I jumped the gun. The system is still temporarily locking up even after completing the steps listed.

    I still need assistance with the issue.
