In particular - this XP recovery disk is for a Disney netpal netbook - and comes with a whole package of Disney software including a full desktop, games etc. Haven't tried a virtual install before - can you use existing disks to install or is it limited to a downloaded iso? Have Windows 10 Pro so is best to use the software in that or some other method like Virtual Box?

Best method to wipe an ssd drive?

Any tips? I've used secure erase in parted magic (the option for enhanced secure erase was blanked out) but then read somewhere that there is no secure way to wipe an ssd? Planning to reinstall and then sell the machine on. It's only a small 80gb drive and not new to me or I'd swap it for something but the machine would be too slow without it. I am also confused. Secure erase says it...

I then found what thunderbolt is and my 4 year old windows laptop...

How do I prevent the font cache from rebuilding at every reboot?

0
0
I've noticed that, since I have a lot of fonts, certain programs (such as iTunes, BabelPad, JDownloader 2, and wxMaxima) hang (or won't start) until the font cache is rebuilt, if they're started immediately after reboot/logon. How do I set it so the cache only rebuilds if the C:\Windows\Fonts folder is changed (fonts added/removed)? It's really annoying to have to wait 1-2 minutes for a rebuild...

Something that I just noticed after upgrading to Windows 10 1809, is that System Restore has been disabled on all my computers. It would be wise to check your Local Disk (C:) System drive is turned on with the default 15% usage. That's assuming that you use System Restore. :-) From what I know so far, this seems to only apply to computers that are updated via Windows Update. If you use...

USB devices stop W10 startup

My complacency was shattered with Microsoft's last major updates all of which I've removed from my machine to restore some semblance of normality. I rue the day that I ever installed Update 1703 & 1709.Big Mistake. Compounded by my stupidity in putting up 1803. But I've learned my lesson. No more Updates, fixed in the Registry..Enough ranting. Now I'm left with a Windows 10 machine that will...

Is there a way to eliminate / delay this hovering text in the taskbar?

This hovering text is very annoying: Attachment 206618 (https://www.tenforums.com/attachments/general-support/206618-there-way-eliminate-delay-hovering-text-taskbar-annoying-hovering-text.jpg) I understand the hovering text describes what your mouse pointer is actually hovering over; but if the pointer is locked into the hovering text field by the slightest accidental movement of the mouse, the actual click you make doesn't trigger the icons action, it triggers...
