Is it possible (via a hardware device or some software) to allocate fixed/unchangeable amounts of uplink and downlink bandwidth from a single cable internet connection to multiple computers?
(Example Scenario: From a 50Mbps-Downlink/10Mbps-Uplink cable internet connection, allocate as follows; 5Mbps-Uplink/5Mbps-Downlink bandwidth to a workstation, and 9Mbps-Downlink/1Mbps-uplink bandwidth each to five desktops.)

I am running Windows 7 64bit on my PC. As usual, Windows creates a 'My Documents' folder and the similar folders for music and videos. I have moved the 'My Videos' folder to an external hard drive and renamed it (I never did like the childish-sounding "My xxx"). My question is, is there any way I can permanently delete the new 'My Videos' folder that Windows keeps recreating on my 'C' drive? Gurumaister ( talk) 09:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you - I appreciate your help. Gurumaister ( talk) 15:12, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Aaahhhh . . . I checked the registry but got lost when I found that there is no 'currentversion' folder in the 'microsoft' folder mentioned above. I then did a search of the whole registry for 'shellfolders' and got no response. Has anyone any idea where I do need to go in the registry to find them?

Nil Einne, Thank you but unless I am misreading your post, you have not understood me. What I am saying is that there IS NOT a folder called "currentVersion" anywhere in my registry - I did a search for it and got no response. Am I doing something wrong?

I have a family member who will be travelling in Europe and was thinking of taking their Ipod to use in WI-FI spots. However we were wondering about charging it. The world travel adaptor we purchased has a USB adaptor that connects to it. My concern is how safe is this. Obviously we do not want to fry the Ipod. The makers of the adaptor claim it fine to use but they are trying to sell the product. What happens when it does not work and the unit that is plugged in burns out —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hughesfam ( talk • contribs) 15:30, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

I want to make a simple greasemonkey script that detects if you're http://example.com and directs you to https://example.com. I know the following script is wrong and doesn't work, but it's the best I could do as I know nothing about javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated 82.44.55.25 ( talk) 16:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
var url=https://example.com if (location.href != url) location.href = url;
var url="https://example.com"; if (location.href != url) { location.href = url; };
var badurl="http://example.com"; // the one to watch out for
var goodurl = "https://example.com"; //what to replace it with
var currenturl = location.href; //current url
if(currenturl.substr(0,badurl.length)==badurl) { //if our current url starts with the badurl
location.href = goodurl+currenturl.substr(badurl.length,currenturl.length); //make the new url the good url plus the rest of the current url
};
I am looking for a browser which I used 3 to 4 years ago. That browser somehow related to Mozilla Firefox. Its icon looks like a round shaped bomb and the color was blue. Can anyone help me to find that browser? thanks-- 180.234.0.174 ( talk) 16:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
I'm using the English keyboard "US International," which uses dead keys. I'm running into problems with a new PC (Windows 7, 64-bit), on which the dead keys quit working for no apparent reason. [So the keyboard seems to be working like a regular American keyboard.] As far as I can see, the keys work again after rebooting... and once, when I simply continued working without them, I suddenly discovered that they were working again (i.e. again for no apparent reason).
What's going on? How can I stop them from not functioning in the first place? And how can I make them work again if they quit? Rebooting all the time is obviously not a viable solution.
For the Windows 7-PC, I've chosen "US International" as primary keyboard during installation (for the Windows XP-PC, it was a regular US keyboard, and I've only later added "US International" and deleted the regular keyboard)... not sure though why that should cause any problems!?
BTW, I've also installed two non-Western keyboards, on both PCs. I assume they're irrelevant for the question because they're not causing problems for the XP system, they're not accidentally switched on on the problematic PC either before or after the problems start [as they're non-Western keyboards, I would notice at once], nor does it help to switch to these keyboards and back to get the dead keys going again.
Thanks a lot for any and all suggestions!! -- Ibn Battuta ( talk) 17:58, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I'm trying to contact the author of the following pictures:
I want to ask if he is willing to relicense them for the commons.
How do I contact him on Panoramio? Thanks WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:10, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use as a database for business contacts. One column includes e-mail addresess. I don't want the e-mail addresses to be hyperlinks, but when I enter them in, they automatically become hyperlinks. I know I can manually remove the hyperlink from each one, but is there a way to prevent the hyperlinking in the first place, even when I enter something in the format xxxxx@xxx.com? Something such as a default format to "don't hyperlink anything in this column." Thank you. — Michael J 19:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Is there any way to hook a Nintendo 64/PlayStation 2 into my pc and have software to view it on my screen? (i don't know that windows media center would read it through the tuner card, but maybe that's possible too?)
Any thoughts on this are welcome. Thanks. :)

I have an RF adaptor, but i dont think windows media center will pick it up through my tuner card because it looks for tv channels only. 137.81.118.126 ( talk) 01:04, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Ill give it a go. For now ill consider this issue "resolved". Thanks guys!
