    Question Why do the same programs appear on both C and D? How can I safely remove the copies on D?

    No. I never touched or upgraded the hard drives since purchase. My drive C is a SSD. Drive D is a 5400 RPM HDD. What do you mean by "sync"? Please explain like I'm 5. I'm computer challenged.

    Question Why do the same programs appear on both C and D? How can I safely remove the copies on D?

    1. I never deliberately installed programs on my D. Thus why do some programs appear on both C and D? 2. How can I harmlessly remove the duplicated (on both C and D) programs from D? Please see screen shot below. 3. As you can see below, I have merely 1 Windows installed.

    This purchased PDF (that I didn't create) repeats the text, underlined in green, under each diagram. Undeniably, deleting each instance one by one is too inefficient! How can I delete this text productively, synchronously, at one fell swoop?

    Online Catalogue/List of all Tablet-Laptop Hybrids available

    I'm trying to decide which tablet & laptop hybrid I should buy. Thus, where are there online catalogues or lists or information/resources that delineate all such computers? It'd also help if they return results predicated on criteria selected in a checklist by a user, but I can dispense with...

    Appriopriate Simple Video-Editing Program

    Hello everyone, I use Windows Media Player to watch movies, and very often, these movies are too dark. I use the Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation sliders to adjust for these discrepancies and I am happy with the results. However, WMP doesn't allow me to save them. Therefore, I was...
