The Solution: right-click on a program’s desktop icon and select Properties, then select the Compatibility tab. Once there, do the following:
1) Check the Run in program compatibility mode box, and from its drop-down menu select Windows 7.
2) Check the box in front of the line that reads Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
3) Check the box in front of the line that reads Run as an administrator.
4) Click “Apply” (on the bottom row of buttons).
5) Click Apply to all users box.
6) repeat these same settings for all Users.
7) Click “Apply” (on the bottom row of buttons).
8) Click “OK” & “OK”.

I have successfully used this technique in Thunderbird (email program), my 3rd-party file manager (Xplorer2) and Firefox in order to maintain the font size I set them to.

Unfortunately, you have to do this individually for each mis-behaving application, and the settings don’t always hold, but its the best, and to date only, work-around I’ve found to the problem.

I usually use them as a cheap trick to get around sites that don't allow download resuming as I have a horribly slow connection. I just remote upload the file to them and finish the unresumable download from their servers.

HaHa! I just realized this thread was 3 years old. Oh well.

Purely by coincidence, I have just received by international bank transfer the sum of $10,000 from Aiseesoft, China. This has in no way affected my opinion of that developer, and so I shall continue to say it is the finest software house in the entire universe and that the several thousand unbiased objective posts it causes to be sent out to Internet forums every day is evidence only of a corporate desire to make the world a better place for all.

Time and again, simplistic over-priced commercial software with minimal user control and Open Source engines under the hood proves itself unequal to the original work of original developers who look to donations or even provide their work free of charge.

As for this post, Aiseesoft is notorious for spamming Internet forums. This OP looks to be no different than any other gimmick deplpoyed by this particular Chinese developer -- one glance at past giveaways of the day involving Aiseesoft is enough to see how it absolutely packs out 'user comments' with fake (and illiterate) endorsements as well as thumb-vote manipulation.

The best way to "solve issues" where Aiseesoft is concerned would seem to be to keep your computer clear of Aiseesoft products in the first place.

1. Connect the two computers so that they are seen on the network

2. Open a command prompt

3. Type:

mklink /d /j C:\Users\(Name) C:\

*Replace (Name) with whatever you want and substitute the second C with the drive you want to see

4. Use the other machine

5. Open Windows Explorer

6. Click Network (on the left)

7. Open the computer with the (Name) folder

8. Open the "Users" folder

9. Open the (Name) folder (you now have access to another machine's folders and files)

Typically, you can only see the "Users" folder of the other computer linked to your network. Please spread the news about this tip.

Well I was hoping to get you, Ashraf, to update your 12 security software article locted here. 

http://dottech.org/3174/top-6-programs-that-will-provide-the-best-security-for-you-and-your-computer-for-free/

Been like 2 years now since its last update and figure a few items there are either gone, end of life or perhaps you have found new software to take an older ones place.  Heck even the name of the link needs updating ( says 6 but article says 12)

The above thread is definetly my fvorite article on dottech.org, it's something I go back to reference from time to time.  Hopefully some new software, can make the list to replace some older ones, if theya re better that is.

Thankfully I have come across such an app. Was very lucky to find this little gem!

The new Coats'n'Shorts iPhone and iPad app from Brandy Mint LLC is 100 percent kid friendly.

Features

- Helps you to develop your child’s imagination in an easy and unconstrained manner.
– You can spend time with your little loved ones not just having fun, but also helping them learn and develop useful skills.
- User friendly intuitive controls for children of pre-school and school age
- You can play together with your kids by experimenting with different styles, getting to know which clothing items match each other (and which do not) in addition to explaining and solving all of the many tasks together.
– This game turns the routine daily process of getting dressed into a fascinating entertainment experience for you and your child.

I can say without a doubt that this app is definitely worth its price.
Check it out, people! You’re going to love it!

Just came across this new battery app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autolifesaver.full

Was rather surprised that an app like this exists. It solves a huge problem for me since I often have problems

switching in and out of wi-fi networks. (I'm on the road a lot)

Anyhow thought I would give you guys the heads up. Really cool app so if you are in the market for these sort of

apps don't hesitate for one second.
