@courtenayguy, if you're using Windows 10 with October 2018 Update or newer, pressing Windows key+V shows you the Clipboard content and history, you can then paste from it.

More details here: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-new-clipboard-windows-10-october-...

Of possible interest to other Linux users there are a variety of clipboard managers available depending on which desktop environment your particular distro ships with. This one is for the Gnome Shell and the example shown is Zorin 15 Core. Just install the needed extension in Firefox first and then install this and other shell extensions directly from your browser. MC - Site Manager.

The Kompozer website seems to be down

The clipboard isn't really visible. It's like an invisible holding area. Put your cursor where you want the item you copied to appear, and paste it using either Ctrl - V or right click and paste.

There are clipboard managers that will show everything you've copied so it can be reused. The clipboard is erased if you turn off your device. Copying something new erases whatever is in the clipboard.

I might be crazy, but I copied some symbols to the clipboard, but HOW DO I FIND THE CLIPBOARD?

The find files (search) with the bonus compare feature work for me.

Version 4.29.0.4 stopped working as of today. Same symptoms. Lastpass add-on on FF doesn't render window and stops other extensions and the whole browser from working.
Rolled back to Version 4.28.0.4 using instructions on this post and works like a charm

You're welcome. :) I like the features and the layout too. It has more options than I would normally use and the available configurations are extensive.

And that's the beauty of software, paid or free. Not everyone works the same way or wants the same things in a program.
When you find one that works for you, it's a good fit. I'm glad you like FreeCommander XE and it has the features you want in a program.

My PCs are old.
I have XP in one, and W10 in the other
When using W10, they had to remove all weapons from my house in case I killed myself (way too much crap running in the background)
Thus I use XP 98% of the time.
If there are others using XP, I have good news and bad news -
- Good, The latest version 3 will install into XP\
- Bad, it says it is in evaluation mode for next month.
I will write to their support, to see if they will give us a key

It's one of the first utilities I put on every new computer. Very much like the old Norton Commander from the DOS days.

It doesn't interfere with Windows Explorer, I run them side by side simultaneously with no problems. It doesn't set itself as the default file manager or make any other changes in system settings that I'm aware of.

Thanks for this, I've been looking for a tool that does this. And BTW I had no problem with 3 or 5 GB: I downloaded 10 GB of emails with no problems (except the time it took!).

i spend alot of time making images from online stuff..adding music with a mp3 tag would be fun too

Nice article

Very disappointed, am now looking for a replacement program as I generate website files daily.

I'm glad you like it, I like to keep data locally on more than one media.

Thanks for the heads up, I got the 5 GB somewhere on their site and didn't see the different number right in front of my face. It's been one of those weeks.

hola :) tengo 18 años y una talla 30. me siento perfecta con mi cuerpo i no lo cambiaria por ninguna dieta del mundo, horror.

Surprised that this software is still identified as "Editor's Choice" as it is totally unusable! As I said EIGHT months ago, it now splashes text across the middle of the screen all the way through the video. Totally unacceptable for software that is supposed to be free.

I had forgotten about this and, needing to burn a DVD, I downloaded it again today (version 4.1.10.311). Burnt the DVD and got the same stupid message as before! This is not freeware this is an unusable demo.

Please delist it immediately! Seriously, I have always trusted this site and have downloaded many excellent programs. But this is just sh1te, rubbish, unusable, waste of time. ANd a blit on your reputation that something this crap is still listed.

Thanks rhianoon!
Let's go try this app! asap

1. Turn off internet when installing stuff
2. Use a simple firewall like Simplewall to restrict/block internet access with a simple click for program installers, softwares or apps on your PC etc. 
3. Use Unchecky to automatically clear off any checkboxes during software installation. 

Nice article. But I just thought I'd chime in to remind everyone that this library has cost the public billions of dollars! How easily we forget!! :-)

You're more than welcome, I'm glad you like it. :)

I'm glad you like it. I spent quite a lot of time there wandering around. :)

C. Dominik Bodi with each of the 24 promotional CDs of Baen's free science fiction novels available in ISO, has new address:

I checked a couple out and they are running at very good speeds. I have not checked the books out yet.

The Mercury Theater On The Air has great stuff and runs at excellent speeds.

Media Human is great. All of their software is good but the YouTube to mp3 converter is probably my favorite.

Nice as always thank you.

SoundCloud DOES have a download feature, that can be "turned on" by the artist when they upload their tracks. Basically, from what I've read here, this program is meant to bypass that feature..meaning it's encouraging people to "Steal" the very tracks which an artist doesn't want to be downloaded..and that's their right..it's their work after all.

Basically, if a person turns on "Download" on their track, then that's cool..but "ripping" other peoples work without their permission, when they only intended that work to be listened to and not downloaded, isn't really supportive of the artist in question and more than a little selfish on the pat of the person doing the ripping. We're basically talking about theft here.

I am glad it helped.

I did not realize, until now, that the country would make a difference on Google play.
I still get Not Found on those.

Thanks rolandflorida for the feedback.

Both mVideoPlayer and Ringdroid have now been removed from the listing.

"Where's My Water? Free" is still accessible from my location at this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disney.WMWLite

Thank you, I'll have another look at it. I stopped using LastPass not long after this article was posted and have been using Bitwarden ever since. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mVideoPlayer leads to Not Found. A search found a MVideo_Player.

Ringdroid leads to Not Found. A search found what looks to be a new page

I put these separate to avoid the other post being queued, but it got queued anyways.

Thanks for this listing, I use it all the time. Hope this helps.

nice work

I have been keeping my Family Tree in an OLD program whose executable is FTW.exe. The files have the extension ".ftw." I would like to find an app for my iphone that will either access the .ftw file (in Dropbox) or import the information from the .ftw file. I would like an app that has versions for both Windows 7 Pro PC and iPhone 7s so that I can synchronize them using Dropbox. Am I whistling in the dark? (I am 75 years old and once was considered "computer savvy"; but I have not been able to keep up with the rapid advancements in technology -- I am an old DOS gal.) Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using long-path-tool. it is been easy to use and can delete, copy, move and bulk rename long path files or locked file.

Thanks for your kind words. Gizmo and the crew are still here, the farewell post was from one of our editors, Robert Schifreen. We miss him. :)

Gizmo....Thanks for scaring the crap out of me. I've have been following Tech Alert for 30 some years (not a typo) just don't want people to figure out how old I am. From the bottom of my heart I THANK YOU for all the excellent advice you've given over the years. I always told my clients "if they didn't do anything else sign-up to Gizmo's Tech Alert" so many did and I was always told how useful they found your website. The thing is that 98% of my clients were single parents with God's Special kids or otherwise known physically or mentally challenged. I myself have been disabled for years so I really counted on donated hardware and software so when I had the parts I would build and give them a system totally free. I don't think I could have done it without the freeware or articles on your website. So truly I'm glad your site will still be around but those of us that's been around for a while need to slow down too. Thanks for all you've done to help me over the years...miss you is an under statement. God Bless and Keep You. Michael

Doesn't even compare to most of the other clipboard apps. Had it completely disappear from my system until after 4 reboots it finally appeared. Tried to uninstall it by several methods. I was finally successful by logging in as system admin. I'm done with this program.

This worked, and your help is greatly appreciated. But you know what else? Having to do this is insanely stupid, especially because Microsoft wants you to use the default (high) level of security. Every malware program I use allows for program exceptions. But of course, Microsoft has no clue when it comes to user ease-of-use.

Try Dukto. Simple and easy.

I loaded shareit on my windows 10 PC and on my iPhone. I want to send pictures from my phone to the PC. I've tried everything I can find online to try to get it to work. I get a QR code on the PC and hit scan on the iPhone and nothing happens. If I try to use the hotspot, it says on the phone to go to connect to PC and then PC search mobile. PC search mobile doesn't show up as an option. I downloaded the latest versions for both devices. Totally frustrated and ready to give up. Any suggestions? Thx.

That seems to be common sense to me, but these days common sense isn't always the way things are done. Sigh

Sorry I wasn't clearer.

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ folder.
Click on the HOSTS file (may or may not be capitalized).

When you're asked what program you want to open the file with, choose Notepad.

Once the HOSTS file has been opened in Notepad and you've made any changes, the file has to be saved.
Go to the File menu at the top of the window and select Save As...
Notepad will ask to save it as hosts and as a .txt file - click Save
(Notepad automatically saves all files as .txt files)

Notepad will want to save the file to the original location:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

If you try to save the file to the original location (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\), you'll get a message saying the file can't be saved to that location, and probably asking if you want to save it to Documents instead.
(I'm not running Windows 7 so the specifics may be a bit different but they will be in approximately the same place with similar wording)
Since the file can't be saved in the original location, save the file as hosts.txt in a location where you can find it again like Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.

If you saved it to the Desktop, go to the to Desktop, right click on the file and select Copy.

If you've saved it to another location, use Windows Explorer to open the folder where the saved file is located.
Highlight the file. From the File menu at the top, select File then Copy. You can also right click the file and choose Copy.

Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ folder using Windows Explorer.
From the File menu at the top, select Paste. You can also right click inside the window where the files are listed and choose Paste.
You may need to provide permission to save the file to that folder.
Once the file is pasted, it should appear as hosts.txt in the window.

Right click on host.txt file. Select Rename. Delete the file extension, the part that says .txt.
Hit Enter.
You'll probably get a message saying that changing the file extension may make it unusable, and asking if you want to change it. Click Yes.
If you get another message asking if you want to allow the program to make changes to the file, select Yes.

The file name should now say hosts with no extension such as .txt listed.
Exit Windows Explorer by going to the File menu and select Close, or close the folder using the X in the upper right corner of the window. That's it.




 

Hmmmm. I'm no expert but it seems to me that since it's the Logitech Unifying Receiver that's getting the firmware update, it wouldn't impact which Logitech mouse or keyboard was being used. I would think Dell, Microsoft, HP and Lenovo would be responsible for fixing the issue.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for this information! I have a Dell mouse, and couldn't find an update on their website (lots of others in the series, but not mine), so called them. I was told that since my laptop is an Acer, I have to contact Acer to update my Dell mouse. This seems very strange to me.
