    I have use for a while of an HP Envy 17 laptop. When I'll be using it away in a place where physical security may not be the best, I want to be able to lock the laptop to some immovable stationary object so that it's secure and I won't be worrying about it. The manual, such as it is, shows a...

    Solved Looking For thoughts and experience On Different VPNs

    I just tried posting this and it disappeared while I was editing it so I'm doing it all again.

    I want to turn off "Personalized Menus" so that I get the full drop down menu each time I select a menu (e.g. VIEW, TOOLS etc.). I think it can be done from Start Menu but I can't find where that setting is. Or is it some registry setting?

    Solved How Do I get disk display back to just showing files/folders?

    As often, what I'm asking is probably simple and obvious, just not to me. When I open a connected disk (C or usb connected),I get a single display of the files and folders on that disk. .
