Looking for solutions to several small Windows 7 Annoyances
Hello Windows 7 Expert.
Below are my Windows 7 annoyances which I am sure must have a solution. I did not experience these annoyances under XP. I have lived with these annoyances for a while but am now looking for a solution.
1) In most Folders I want the files to be sorted Alpha Numerically. There is one Folder specifically I want sorted by Modified date. When I sort this specific Folder by Modified Date all other Folders are now sorted by modified date. How can I set sorts to be specific for each folder and not globally.
2) When I delete a file in a folder it doesn't disappear unless I hit the refresh button. This happens consistently when I navigate to the folder by right clicking a desktop shortcut and selecting Open File Location. If I open a folder regularly and delete files they do disappear immediately.
3) When I have a file on my desktop and I modify it Windows 7 changes it's position on the desktop to some default position. I would like the file to remain in the same location on the desktop after I have modified it.
4) I often do presentations and when I hoop up to some projectors my icons on my desktop get scrambled. Next time I restart my computer all my icons remain scrambled. To resolve this I always save a System Restore Point before a presentation. After the presentation I run the System Restore. I have noticed that the icons on my desktop are not always in the same positions as the original Restore Point. It's fairly close, like 90%, but not 100%. Why?
5) Sometimes when I open a specific email in Outlook it's not maximized and other times it is. This appears to be random behavior. Happens sometimes with other programs other than Outlook too I think. It forces an extra Maximize click and me wondering why it didn't open maximized this time.
6) Not sure if this is Windows 7 or Outlook issue. Ever since I started using Windows 7 instead of XP all my embedded images in sent emails are distorted (much lower quality) than the original embedded image. When I check old sent emails in XP the images are crystal clear. I would like my embedded images to appear the same quality when they are sent.
Thank you for the advice and recommended solutions.
