    Sudden GIANT mouse pointer

    I have a problem with intermittent change in size of my mouse pointer, cursor, etc. I have my settings at minimal, and at a fresh reboot, they are all the correct size. Yet, for some reason, they all suddenly switch to BIG! I recheck my settings and they are all still at the minimal setting I...

    What desktop is shown after login!

    Restore Default locations is C:\users\user-me\desktop just as the one I manually selected. But I get the same warning screens. Do I click "Yes" to each and proceed?

    What desktop is shown after login!

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I no longer have OneDrive installed. So, in my Chrome settings when I specify Download location as Desktop, the downloads go into the OneDrive\Desktop and I can't redirect to my personal desktop.

    What desktop is shown after login!

    Thanks for your reply, spicypalthai. Thanks for that direction. Will it be OK to delete the extra desktop folder in documents\OneDrive\desktop?

    What desktop is shown after login!

    I am a senior non-techie user and have been trying to clean out and organize my Win 10 files. For whatever reason I have found 3 destop files: one is \user\public\destop, one is at \user\user\desktop, and one at \documents\OneDrive\desktop (I had installed OneDrive at one time but later...

    Deleted entire bookmarks library

    When I originally installed Chrome on my home PC, I imported all my bookmarks from Firefox. Part of this process, apparently, created a "imported from Firefox" shortcut on my bookmarks bar. Since I already had another shortcut extension to show my bookmarks manager, I brazenly decided to delete...

    OMG! I have really messed up now. Trying to install and swap harddrives.

    It all started out a project I was sure I could handle. I wanted to install an SSD with a clean Windows 10 x64 install as my boot drive. Then I wanted to swap out my full 2TB HDDs for new 5TB ones. As I got into it, I couldn't get the SDD to boot, then Windows Explorer couldn't see any of the...

    PC doesn't recognize new SSD install

    I want to do a clean reinstall of Windows 10 PRO x64 on a new SSD. I downloaded the Media Creation Tool and downloaded the ISO and used RUFUS software to prepare a bootable USB flash drive. I installed to a 128 MB SSD without any error msgs, but when I tried to run it, my PC got the Blue Screen...

    Windows remote desktop blanks out remote computer

    The instruction on the link I posted earlier worked! The remote screen is no longer black, but the remote user is logged out and will have to log in again after the remote connection is terminated. The program allows only one active user at a time.
