Retrieving Automatically Saved Forum Text

View 3 RepliesIt seems there used to be a windows interface for the clipbrd.exe utility but if there is one in Windows 10 I cannot find it.
I am trying to add 2 <cr> (line break) or <Enter> characters to the end of anything I put in the clipboard before it gets pasted back. Since different applications appear to treat pasted items differently I would prefer to have them even if they are "extra" or in addition to any added by pasting into a particular program. 99% of the time, I am pasting to Notepad. But it seems that i get the same results no matter what i paste to or copy from. The text or image that is copied always pastes to everything with no break. If i click Paste (or Ctrl+v) twice in a row I get the items or text exactly side by side, no "eof" marker or anything else.
When trying to copy text to create a "list" it requires clicking <Enter> twice after each paste to get it double spaced. Or at least once to keep it from not even going to the next line. In windows 7 it seems the default action included a line-feed after the paste and it was an issue to try to strip out the <cr>'s. Is there any way to get them back in Windows 10?
How I can retrieve my windows product key from my BIOS? This for a 2 month old MSI Dominator GT72 PRO laptop which was purchased new with Windows 8.1 preloaded; no disc or product key label was provided. We recently did the free upgrade to Windows 10 and through a series of issues ended up letting the OS do a reset which did not work out.
Microsoft provided us a link to download Windows 10 for a clean install, which we did and is now on the laptop, however, it requires the original 8.1 product key to complete the installation. Microsoft tells me that the original product key should be retrievable from the BIOS since it was not provided with the laptop. What is the procedure to locate the key from the BIOS?
retrieving a Microsoft office product key.
I'd upgraded my sister's laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 without saving any of its files (clean install). Now I was told that she does not know her Microsoft office keys.
Is there any way for me to retrieve the keys? It's a student key which was given by her Uni and she does not keep the keys.
For instance, if I highlight a word in a text-entry field, it's a very bright blue. This is also true in Firefox, Thunderbird, Word, OneNote, various fora, etc. but not in Excel.
Prior to installing Windows 10, the highlight in a text-entry field was either pale grey (on dark backgrounds) or darker grey (on light backgrounds), which is what I'd like to have back.
How to indent Footnote text (between the raised number and the body text) automatically?
I have word 2013, and I would like to insert an indentation 1.5 between the raised number and the text in footnotes (see figure 1)
Figure 1
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When I go to "Footnote Text" style, and then paragraph to do the indentation, it moves the number and the text to the right (see figure 2). But I do not want this.
Figure 2
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If I use the hanging option, it only indents the texts below the first line (see figure 3)
Figure 3
1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have gone to "Footnote Reference" style, but the "paragraph" tab is locked. I cannot enter. How to unlock it? Alternatively, how can I get the results I want (figure 1)....
I search for the Saved Games folder and it is produced and is empty but I would like to access it from an icon.
View 4 RepliesSo I started changing my desktop backgrounds with my own images, but now, in "Settings", I no longer see the backgrounds that are included with Windows 10, like the blue Windows logo one. They don't show up in the 5 boxes.
This new "Settings" Personalisation page is terrible... Where are they saved?
In NVIDIA Control Panel, when I select my settings and click apply every things is OK. The next time I reboot they change. Why are they not being saved?
View 5 RepliesHow to fix my icon problem. I have icons for certain files - word and excel, that I arrange in convenient places on the desktop. If I edit these then save them, Windows moves them to different places on the desktop. This never used to happen on Windows 7 ...
View 3 RepliesSecond device just got win10 logo in taskbar yesterday, but now windows says my hdd has bad sectors and I cannot access it properly.

View 7 RepliesOk, I made a couple of themes, no problem with that but I neglected to make one of them a slideshow and can't find where to alter the theme itself.
Start - Control Panel - Personalization only allows me to choose a finished one. I want to edit one and have no clue where to find the saved file.
I just did the free Windows 10 update on my computer and now files that had been saved to my computer for quite some time seem to have disappered

View 4 RepliesI just finished setting up my wife's new laptop and then totally spaced the PIN that I used to setup her laptop. She is running Windows 10 Home edition. I am still logged on so I have access to Windows but I can't use the PIN reset function and I didn't get a chance to setup her Microsoft Account info, so I can't use that feature either.
I am looking for a file directory location where the PIN is saved. It has to be saved in an XML file or something like that.
I downloaded 7-zip and am trying to compress a sound file and my system saves the file to PDF Adobe format. This means that I cannot open the file.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 7-zip but it isn't working.
I notice that the Mouse settings still will not be saved in Windows 10. This is one of those things that will drag on for ever before we see it fixed?
View 5 RepliesThe latest update changed a lot of my settings, like my mouse sensitivity, along with resetting my background to its default image and resetting my task bar to default. My biggest issue is that it deleted all my pictures in the "Pictures" folder. if they put them in the cloud? Or am I just fucked and have to go down to the head developers house and chuck eggs at it.

View 2 RepliesMy hard drive shows 20 more GB of space but everything is gone that I used or saved on the computer. I did not back up everything since the info I read said I would not loose this information.
Is there any way to retrieve it or roll back the hard drive to Windows 7 and retrieve the data I lost?
Will it be saved or deleted as if factory settings? I didn't perform a clean install, just an upgrade from Win7 to Win10...

View 5 RepliesI've had this problem a few days where I simply can't set a default browser (or any other default software from the settings) anymore. It let's me to go to the list and choose, say, Google Chrome, but then doesn't save my choice. I can revert to Microsoft's default settings in general, when the choice will stay as Edge. This bugs me the most when clicking on URL links in other software, they open up randomly in both Chrome (which I actively use) and Edge (which is the current default).
I have tried to set Chrome as the default browser from its own settings, too, but to no avail. Would also very much want to use VLC Player as the default for videos, but Win10 doesn't let me do it.
