Sony Touchscreen with W7 on it.
against each folder and image was a checkbox , she said since dropbox , they had dropbox on the PC - and also we had a message about skydrive - but she knew nothing about this.
I have both , but do not have a check box
and the checkbox is only available with the windows live picture gallery open, NOT when the windows folder manager is being used - or thats how my PC works
so 3) whats are these check boxs all about, that are showing in windows file manager
thanks , back there again next week to sort some other issues out
xlsx files are not opening with a douple click - although they have the icon
Word docs have no icon, but they do open from a double click
she says , she inserted a DVD and that could not be seen, and also the scan to email doesnt work - so i will be a bit busy
its a Sony touchscreen machine , not sure which model, 4GB memory on W7 (not sure if 64or32bit) but it also running slow - and had 20+ icons on the system tray - so thats another job
thanks for any advice, off to read some w7 tutorials and see if i can reproduce the issues on my PC and clean up

The following are possible solutions from a few searches - I will confirm end of next week - if it worked ok for me - may help others
I just looked at a windows 7 PC today, one of these touchscreen PCs with everything in the screen- like apple, where the owner had lots of issues with pictures amongst other things, she wanted me to sort out
the files are imported via , iphones,ipads, cameras etc
recently they have been creating a lot of folders each with 2 pictures in - looking into this I found
there where hidden folders, when you copied or imported an image into a folder under pictures - the system automatically created a folder for every picture and had 2 low resolution images in something like 120x60ish and 800x600ish called vcm_s_kf_m160_160x120.jpg and vcm_s_kf_repr_832x624.jpg
I managed to clean up the folder - by hiding system folders
But on the folders list they are all still showing up
Picasa also on the PC - and she wants just to have one view for pictures and not all these different confusing programs
looking at images its a Sony and from various posts - looks like its the content analyser that can cause these issues
the solution is to go into control panel
VAIO Content Analyser Settings in control panel.
Then 'Pictures and Videos' and 'Music' Tabs, uncheck all. This will stop the content analyser from creating those folders.
To remove all these existing folders select 'Monitoring Folders' and uncheck all.
Thats resolved - onto the next two issues
next issue - is everytime you click on a photo - it opens the view , in this case windows (live) gallery - the default viewer
which was extremly annoying , when trying to sort the issue
almost like one click was a double click - looked for the mouse settings and didnt find anything
seems like the answer to this intermittent issue - is to remove the batteries and click the left/right buttons a few times to clear the capacitors - re-install fresh batteries - and its resolved
also found this But did not try at all http://www.experienceit.pl/download
so last issue then
