    Keep both file Option


    Option to move a file from one folder to another containing a file with the same name and keep both option is missing. Will this be fixed? It was a very, very useful option. So far I am not extremely impressed. Can I get back the old format for outlook? and the old start menu format? The new one seems cumbersome. I do like the status bar at the bottom being on all screens in use - I use more than one screen. I'm sure there are other features that I will like. The dislikes are the ones I really miss.

    :)

    Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/file_list_generator.htm

    EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.

    Need Serious Help: How To Record Video of What is Done on my PC?


    I suggest the following simple steps:

    1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
    2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
    3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

    You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
