Are you just wanting a single default for .avi files? No. I want to delete entries I will never use and add an optional app to the main Open With list. I think SOME of that list is dependent on frequency of usage too. Use an exe more, the more often it shows up in that list. I could be mistaken abo...

https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/18119/remove-programs-from-open-with-menu-in-explorer/ Yep, that was the first one I tried. No joy. https://i.imgur.com/ziyIutk.png As you can see, I already deleted a, b, c, and f. (Some of them were just gobbledygook, like whatever the value for "MRUList"...

How can I edit the "Open With" list in Windows 10? I've tried looking this up, but none of the recommended registry edits I've tried actually work. I've also seen third-party apps promoted *cough* mentioned, but I'm suspicious and would not rather not use them if I can do it myself. So, ri...

I had that same card on Windows Vista (worked great)... I've now tried mine on three different PCs, including the Windows Vista machine it which it was first installed. All of the PCs recognize the card and it is a selectable source in VLC, et al. (AverMedia's native software won't even open if it ...

I have a bunch of VHS tapes I'd like to transfer to DVD. I have this, which I bought a long time ago and which I never actually got around to using in my old PC: https://www.ebay.com/i/253421615934?chn=ps&dispItem=1 Now I have a new PC. I just moved the card over, installed the driver, connected...

Have you tried the Autoruns Sysinternals utility ? That was immensely helpful! I was able to identify "Program" and remove it from the registry. (It was a leftover "helper" program for a video editor I tried and then uninstalled.) Right click any of the tabs in that window and c...

Actually, I had just finished a remote support session with my antivirus provider because their Chrome extension isn't working. He had me install a report gathering tool. However, it said it would uninstall itself when it was done. I have checked my most recently installed programs and there's nothi...

I recently noticed a very brief command window open and close when Windows starts. When I looked up my Startup programs, I saw this "Program" (highlighted; previously enabled): https://i.imgur.com/yhK0QaE.png Unlike every other program listed, when I right click on "Program," Ope...

That answered a lot of questions. Thank you. ...requires a working knowledge of how to use it on the command line, and it may not be the ideal solution for your use case. No, not ideal for my use case. I am looking for software with a GUI and some basic editing features - hard to do with a command l...

I'm looking for recommendations for video conversion software that will use my Nvidia video card to accelerate processing. I have been using VirtualDub for a long time but its performance on my new PC seems no better than my decade-old PC, and I have a new Nvidia video card I would like to use. I ha...

Not to derail, but what games are you playing on Vista that you can't install on Win10? It's not a question of "can't." Most of the software could be installed on Windows 10, I guess, if I was really worried about it. Most of the games are at game sites. Most of the time I use the same ga...

I am well aware of Vista's end of support and lack of security. It's an old PC with a lot of old software that I like, and I mainly just use it to play games anymore. If the PC gets hacked it won't be the end of the world (I'm pretty sure it's compromised 6 ways to Sunday already). I have another, n...

When Chrome started acting a bit wonky, I cleared the browsing history and everything else it had a checkbox to clear. When you say "everything else it had a checkbox to clear", I assume that included the checkbox that says "autofill form data"? Yes. How can I restore autocomple...

Up until a few days ago, my installation of Chrome would offer autocomplete suggestions in website search boxes and other data entry fields based on what I had previously typed in those boxes. Either by starting to type, or just clicking on a data entry field, a list of past entries would drop down ...

I bought an entire city's lifetime supply of sewing machine oil for $6 (the only size bottle Walmart had). Worked like a charm.

I have an XFX 7850, which still works fine, but I believe the fan bearings are shot. I believe it's this model: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150642 The fan starts and stops constantly, and makes a zzzt zzzt zzzt noise, which vibrates the whole PC. When I blow on the fan ...

How can I set a program with command line options to be the default program that opens a media file type in Windows Vista? I have spent hours researching this but nothing actually worked. I can't seem to uninstall Windows Media Player, and when I "Choose default program," it doesn't seem t...

FedEx says it'll be here Wednesday. I'm so excited! Nobody wants unboxing pics...? Possibly off topic: I did a cursory look around the 'net for information about possibly mining BitCoin with the GPU. The first thing I noticed is that there's now about 100 cryptocurrencies! Who actually sells stuff f...

But something like a GTX1080Ti deserves to be hooked up to a 1440p or greater GSync monitor IMO. Maybe a sweet 34" curved ultrawide like this!!!! "Thank you for visiting Newegg.com. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience but we are currently experiencing problems on our server. Please t...

Just fyi, try out the Samsung NVMe drivers. I normally never install any additional drivers(except GPU) but i was getting atrocious copy rates for anything but straight huge file copy until i installed the Samsung drivers. Good advice.

The thing I find somewhat odd is the fact that after more than a decade in business, they have less than 100 total reviews on the site, and a pretty thin internet presence overall. I suppose part of that could be chalked up to dissatisfied customers being more likely to post, but I'm surprised they...

Just for fun, I priced up that same system on iBuyPower = $2,150 w/o the fan controller and optical drive (both not worth it IMO). I have found tons of negative comments about iBuyPower. I challenge you to find even one single negative report about eCollegePC. Just one! Also, after doing some more ...

And then I have to decide, HTC or Occulus (or something else). Basically you need to at least double the rendering power for the same resolution. Granted a 1080Ti may still be enough even for 1440p with VR. Besides, the OP already ordered. This happens time and time again: what kind of feedback can...

I'd personally go for a larger main SSD - at least 512gb. I'd also get a second SSD but probably better off buying and installing that yourself than buying from the builder. You can get 500gb Samsung 960 EVO drive for around $225...well worth the investment. I have a monitor, SSD and two HDs I am m...

The highest single-threaded performance available for gaming is the 7700K (properly overclocked). Anything else is at best a waste of money; Most HEDT systems would end up being slower for gaming. I took your advice and ordered a 7700K system instead (from the builder Whose Name We Dare Not Speak),...

I was actually thinking a 7820X was the sweet spot for the most future-proof CPU I can get right now. According to Anandtech's review, the 7740X is just a 7700K on a new die to fit on X299 boards. In addition, x299 motherboards are only slightly more than Z270 boards. On many tests I've seen, the 7...
