    im old and stupid

    You might be old, but stupid? I see no evidence for that.

    Run your app with Administrator permissions:

    • right-click on the app
    • select 'Run as administrator'
    • enter the password for an Administrator account when prompted.

  3. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type
    the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly
    allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,

    Old picture files

    Hi Carolyn,

    Based on the description you provided, we need to determine why all your old pictures disappeared after replacing your printer to a new one. With that said, kindly answer the following questions:

    • What steps have you tried so far to recover your old pictures?
    • Did you use an application to save your scanned photos from your previous printer?
    • Have you tried searching for the folder via Cortana?
