Windows 7

The 'windows button' - located to the left of the keyboard, between the FN and ALT keys

You can't ! Each unique copy of Windows 7 is pre-installed on computers. The licence key for the legitimate copy supplied with the computer is 'woven' into the Windows registry. If you try to install another copy with a different licence key, your computer will claim it is an illegal copy - and display various messages warnign you of that fact.

You can buy a legitimate copy from Microsoft - but it will (a) need to be installed from scratch, (b) register itself with the Windows server and (c) disable the licence key that came with your original copy.

You cannot 'hack' the parental control, and that does not make much sense to begin with. The parental control can be removed with the PIN, or removed by Nintendo after you prove your age.

It's called 'show desktop' - it tells you that if you hover your cursor over the tiny vertical bar at the right end of the taskbar.

You can schedule tasks.

You can change screen resolution.

You can change power options.

You can manage device drivers.

Many operating systems and schemes refer to them by different names:

"Security Groups" = Linux, Windows

"Organizational Units/Groups" = LDAP

"Domains" = Active Directory

Depends... Are you locked out of your phone or would like a new password??

I am not familiar with PrintShop. But, the generic way to create a PDF file from just about any application on a Mac is:

1) open the document that you wish to convert to a PDF

2) choose File: Print from the menu bar

3) click the PDF button in the lower left-hand corner of the Print dialog

4) choose an option from the menu that meets your needs, such as Save as PDF

Ewan ko....

That would be aiding a hacker - which we in the Wiki community will not do ! The legitimate owner of he computer will know the password !

There's no "magical hidden" XP lurking under Windows 7. You could install both operating systems on the same computer and dual-boot, or alternatively (and much less complicated) just get a hypervisor program like Oracle's VirtualBox or Microsoft's own VirtualPC (both of these are free, though you'll have to have a legitimate copy of XP to install) and install XP on the virtual machine.

As many as the memory in your computer can store. The number of worksheets in each workbook is limited only by the amount of memory available.

By "booting" do you mean when you are installing the OS for the first time or do you mean after, you've installed the OS and are beginning to use Win XP. Are you asking how is it different from all the other OS's from Microsft in the installation. If so, then the first big difference, is that you do NOT have to make a start up disk with Win XP. So long as you change the boot sequence in your BIOS to make the CD Rom drive the first device to boot, save those changes and then restart, you should have smooth sailing so long as you follow the prompts after that. Check you motherboard manual for the right way to get into your BIOS, and under which directory you will find the boot sequence option. Hope this answers your question. Once you've finished the install make certain you change the boot sequence back to make the hard drive with the OS on it the first device to boot so as to increase the boot time [this may shave a couple of seconds off the boot sequence].

Yes, but enterprise requires a dedicated VLK server. Ultimate can be activated through Internet.

Perform an upgrade over the top of the old operating system.

Use windows easy transfer.

Use the user state migration tookit.

Here's an interesting timeline and description of the different Windows operating systems:

I'm not sure I understand why you're asking this question. Contiguous files are simply files that are not broken up in pieces. As you disk fills up, when you delete files to make more room, the free space is scattered all over the disk. If you download a large file, or install software, there may not be enough room in any single place on the disk to fit the entire file. Windows puts chunks of the file in several places to make it fit. This can slow down the time it takes to load the file. When you defrag the disk, it attempts to make as many files contiguous as possible. Deleting contiguous files should be exactly the same procedure as with any other file. However, some files that the system uses must be contiguous. They can't be deleted because they are in use by the system. If you have any questions, please email me or check out my profile.

Go to the control panel and in the search bar in the top right type in system. Then in the results click 'show how much RAM is installed' in this window it will show you what type of processor you have.

Depending on your hard drive. If it's a new external hard drive you should check to see if it's preformatted for your computer. For example I just bought a new LaCie drive for my Mac Powerbook. It already comes preformatted in HFS mode so I didn't have to do anything. Other external hard drives allow you to put files in a hard drive without formatting, but this can cause problems later on down the road. Some Mac who have Seagate external hard drives have reported a clicking noise and malfunctioning. I personally have had this experience as I was sharing it with a PC (Seagate doesn't recommend this). It wasn't formatted thus I couldn't put some simple stuff on the hard drive such as folders with folder icons! To format any hard drive, connect your hard drive to you Mac. Then open the disk utilities application that can be found in the utilities folder in the application folder. Select the hard drive you want to format. To find out the rest, google it. haha. I kind of forget what which button to push, but it's fairly simple. I would recommend getting specific drives for PC and Mac. You can never be too safe when backing up your information. So far my LaCie works great and is quieter than my Seagate.
