My convention is to assign Ctrl+Shft+<key> to a shortcut which does something within an application, and Ctrl+Shft+<key> to one that has wider scope in its actions. In Windows 7, I have two input languages and three keyboard layouts defined. Recently, I have observed that pressing the / key in WordP...

Unchecking All columns the same size has allowed me to see more of the file names in the fourth column. But still no scroll bar(s).

I have "All Programs" style set to "Cascading sub-menu". I see four columns (of which the fourth only shows partially). So I think that I need a horizontal scroll bar to see file names that won't fit on the screen.

At the moment, I am working on a 1024x768 screen. There are 133 objects in the directory. The right-hand column only shows partially: I can see onl...

I have added a directory under Programs. Now Start | Programs | AutoIt scripts shows all the files in the F:\AutoIt scripts directory. That's great! But Win 7 tries to run an application on the file I single left click. This is not what I want, because there being many files in the directory, I wish...

My understanding (and experience) is that, in Win 7, assigning Short cut keys to links on the Desktop does almost nothing (see below): that for Win 7 to see them, they have to be defined in Recently opened programs. If the above is correct, perhaps Classic Shell should add the ability to have short ...

But doing so would offend the manager of my computer! He expects AutoIt scripts to be in the AutoIt Scripts folder.

.au3 files are AutoIt scripts. In Computer, double-clicking on one runs it.
