If disappeared shortcuts to network files from desktop

If you create desktop shortcuts to removable storage places such as NAS the icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in task schedule to clean up broken and unused links. 
To prevent the task from running you need to disable the task in the Task Scheduler: start-> programs-> accessories-> system tools-> task scheduler
Expand the tree in the left hand pane until you get to Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Diagnosis.
In the right hand pane, right click the task named Scheduled and click Disable.

Kā nomainīt fontu Sticky Notes

In the registry, you can change the font that Windows thinks is Segoe Print and Segoe Print Bold

1. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
2. First, export that key so you have a backup.
3. Find Segoe Print (TrueType)
4. Change the value to the file name of any other font that you wish to use that is already installed (navigate that registry key to find others).
5. Do the same for the Segoe Print Bold (TrueType) and match it to the Bold version of this font.
6. Then, log out and back on.

The print processor does not exist.

Open Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\

Expant “Print Processors” and make sure there is a key called “winprint“. If not, right-click on “Print Processors” and select NEW -> Key. Call it “winprint” (without the quotes). Within the “winprint” key, create a new String Value and call it “Driver“. It’s value data should be “winprint.dll” (without the quotes).
Stop print spooler service.
Now navigate to the following path in Windows Explorer:
C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86
or
C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64
You will find some files there, but the most important would be the “winprint.dll“, “jnwppr.dll” and “msonpppr.dll” files. Delete them (or to be safe, just move them to another location).
Now you need to find a similiar PC environment (Windows 7 32-bit, etc). From the working PC, copy these 3 files to the faulty PC under the same path.
Now start the print spooler and try to connect to the desired network printer. All should work fine.

Kā izravēt laacz apostrofu, ja to nevar atinstalēt.

If you need to manually remove it:

1. Remove the keyboard from the Language and Regional settings:
   1. Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Details...
   2. If it exists as one of the installed services, you should remove it. You can do this by adding another keyboard (e.g. US) and making it the default one, then removing the keyboard you are trying to get rid of.
2. Open regedit
3. Warning: you should backup your registry in case you accidentally delete something important.
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\
5. Find the key that represents your keyboard: (referred to as "the key" in following steps)
   • It should be in the form a0000426 (an 8 hex digit number).
   • Each key should have values such as: Layout Display Name, Layout File, Layout Id, Layout Product Code, Layout Text.
   • The Layout Text property should match the keyboard name that you chose.
   • Mine was near the end and started with an a instead of a 0 like all the others.
6. Take a look at the Layout File which should be a apostrof.dll name. I will refer to it as "the dll" in the following steps.
7. Look for the dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache and delete it if it exists.
8. Look for the dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and delete it if it exists
9. Look for the dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete it if it exists.
10. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\DosKeybCodes and see if it has a Name which is equal to the key's name (e.g. a0000426) and a value such as en. If it does, delete it.
11. Navigate back to the key (from step 5), and delete the entire key.
