Why did Windows automatically open 1 Word document, but not 2 others, in the same folder? Call the 3 Word documents in the same folder 1.docx, 2.docx, 3.docx. I followed Allen Wyatt's instructions for "Opening a Word Document when Starting the Computer" that is encapsulated by Microsoft. Then 1.docx automatically opened on startup. But 2.docx and 3.docx failed to start up automatically. ... (more) |

How can I click inside a gnarled window? I need to install BCUninstaller. But I can't click to pick the options inside, OR the maximize button on the upper right that's greyed out. No other window is gnarled like this on my desktop, which is working perfectly. (more) |

How can I record merely heads in a video call? To save Hard Drive space, how can I record merely the green rectangles below containing the heads of my family?

Why doesn't permanently deleting emails dwindle the .ost's size, absent new emails? My old backup email account never receives incoming emails. In Microsoft Outlook, I deleted at least 50 emails in the Inbox and Sent Items, then emptied "Deleted Items", but the .ost for this email remains the same! Why didn't the .ost file shrivel in file size? (more) |

In Word, how can I set 'Header Position from Top' and 'Footer Position from Bottom' simultaneously for all pages?

How can I see old photos, so far down a Facebook page that scrolling down freezes the browser? One relative has taken so many photos, that scrolling down to his pictures before 2020 takes too much time and effort. But once scrolling reaches his pictures uploaded in 2020, my browser froze. I had to "End task" in Task Manager. I tried this on Chrome Firefox and Edge, but the problem replicated. ... (more) |

Does embedding an image, in an email, debauch its appearance or quality? My bosses and colleagues prefer images to be embedded, rather than attaching an image to an email — not least because attachments can be wrongly flagged as spam, and because it's easier to see embedded pictures than clicking and opening many attachments. This screenshot hails from that YouTube video.... (more) |
