Review of latest postings to the Kaffee Klatch Win7 Collection
Open Q&A
  • Win7 Repair Disk - For those who do not have a Win7 Installation Disk, create your own bootable Win7 Repair Disk (not to be confused with Restore Disks) that will give you access to several repair tools. Consider the repair disk useable only in the PC in which it was created. BIOS CMOS settings may have to be changed to let the repair disk to boot. Thanks to Bill Buppert and Bruce Cottrill for their inputs to this discussion. (Repeat from 23 March 2010 Meeting Notes.)
  • Enable Run Box on Start Menu. (Link) (Note that Win+R Keyboard Shortcut brings up the RunBox.)
  • Using MSCONFIG in Win7 to disable programs from launching during Windows startup. (Link) Note that it's easier to manage Startup items in CCleaner. (Link)
