How do you turn off open with on your computer?
There are two ways to achieve this goal--an automatic way and a manual way.
The automatic way is basically, as you may already have guessed, let a third-party program does the job for you. And for this job, I recommend:
- FileMenu Tool [link: http://www.lopesoft.com/en/ ] will quickly finish the job for you; it gives you almost complete control over the right-click menu of your Windows. It is simple, clean, easy to use, and above all, it is 100% free. It works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7.
The manual way means you to do it . . . manually, which will include editing your system's registry entries--not recommended unless you have at least intermediate understanding of your computer.

When you first get a laptop how long does it take to install updates?
The time it takes to perform installs such as an OS update depends on the size of the file you are installing and the processing power of your computer. If you are installing the update from an online source it will also depend on your internet speed.
A quick laptop (duo or quad CORE processors) can perform an update in as little as 30mins, where as a slow computer (single core or atom processor) with a large update can take several hours.

How do you play a video file with faad aac audio 706d in windows xp?
http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects&browser=ie I encoded a 1 hour DivX 4 / MP3 PVR file from a 2.283 Gbyte file to "Stargate SG-1 (10 00 pm) - h.264 - AAC.avi" 393.57 Mbyte highly compressed file using 2005 vintage mencoder.exe, but it took many hours on my 700 MHz Athlon T-Bird CPU computer. I could play the file only with mplayer.exe 2005 version, but it had no GUI controls for seeking within the file, nor for adjusting the sound volume level. Just now I updated this 2005 software to 2008-April version by Google searching for >mplayer GUI< then examining each entry for what I needed. I'm running MS Windows 2000, but a lot of the software is for Linux or similar. A Mplayer Windows GUI link lead me to the linked page above.
