How to remove the NEW of newly installed programs

Dear Community,
please see this screenshot of my Windows 2012 (R2) Start screen:
Is it possible to stop Windows from showing / highlighting newly installed applications?

Don't use the Start screen?  I say that somewhat facetiously, because I almost never use the Start screen (except to find out how it works when someone has a question).  Besides, the designation disappears after you use the program once.
How do I avoid using the Start screen?  Normally you get to it by hitting the Windows key from the desktop.  Then you have to click the down arrow at the bottom of the screen to get to the Start screen.  Instead of hitting the down arrow (which
means you have taken your hand off the keyboard to move the cursor with the mouse), simply start typing.  For example, typing "ph" would find and display any application/file starting with "ph".  It works really fast - typing
"photo" would return anything starting with "photo", if you want a shorter list.  If Photoshop were the only thing starting with "photo" (it isn't), a simple carriage return would launch the program.  So I generally
type enough to make it unique, or, if it still finds a few more, a couple of down arrows on the keyboard gets me to it.  I have found that to be a lot faster than using the Start screen.  Actually started doing this with Vista and hardly ever use
the Start screens any more because it is so much faster than trying to navigate some sort of start tree or screen.

  • How to remove the new, but unneeded, "links buttons" at bottom of FF default start pg?

    New default FF w/Google is great, & thanks very much too all. Would prefer to remove the new button links at bottom of pg, & have more blank space on the page where the new links are presently. The links are already fine for use at top of pg in a toolbar. Is removing the 6 new button links possible? Thanks.

  • How to remove the new tap look?

    This morning Firefox did an update, or something, and it changed the look for the toolbars. It added a new tab, and a plus sign. I made sure that none of the "tab" options were checked in the options, none are. I downloaded an old version, removed the new version, then reloaded with the old. I did this with two older versions. I don't want anything on the top left that has anything to do with tabs. It wasn't there before this morning.

  • How to inform the kernel about newly installed STREAMS MODULE?

    I made a copy of timod and installed the copy to /kernel/strmod
    as a new module (newmod). I modified the t_open.c to make
    it to use the "newmod" instead of the timod. The result of the
    test is "Invalid Argument". It looks like the kernel doesn't
    recognize the module "newmod". I looked throught Sun
    Docs, I'm not able to find any instruction for how to
    make kernel to recognize my new STREAMS module name
    as the add_drv does for device drivers. Can anyone point
    me to the right docs and give me some instructions for informing
    the kernel about the newly installed STREAMS module?
    Thanks

    Forget my precedent post, here is what's on the configuration page of this module :
    ("[_]" are checkboxe)
    1/ [_] Check this option if your users' DNs look like cn=jdoe,ou=Group1,cn=example,cn=com and Group1 turns out to be the group you want.)
    Attribute of the DN which contains the group name:
    [Single line text field to enter attribute]
    (The name of the attribute which contains the group name. In the example above, it would be ou, as the DN contains the string ou=Group1 and Group1 happens to be the desired group name.
    2/ [_] Groups are specified by LDAP attributes
    Attribute names (one per line):
    [Multi-lines text field]
    (If the groups are stored in the user entries, along with the rest of their data, then enter here a list of attributes which may contain them.)
    3/ [_] Groups exist as LDAP entries where a multivalued attribute contains the members' CNs
    Nodes containing groups (one per line):
    [Multi-lines text field]
    (Enter here a list of nodes from where groups should be searched for. The module will look them up recursively from the given nodes.)
    Attribute holding group members:
    [Single line text field]
    (Name of the multivalued attribute which holds the CNs of group members, for example: memberUid)
    If someone could tell me which checkboxe I should select and what to put into fields it would be king as I really have no idea of what to enter and what to select.

  • How to remove the 'New Entry' button in the warning message for a dialog bo

    Hi Experts,
    I am calling a Modal Dialog box screen having a pushbutton.
    On the click of the pushbutton, I am performing some checks, and giving a warning message.
    The warning message comes as a popup in this case and has three buttons on it.
    One of these buttons is titled 'New entry'.
    I dont want that button to come on the warning popup.
    Please let me know if there is a way out for this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Useful answers will surely be rewarded.
    Regards,

    Hi Jyothi,
    Thanks a lot for ur prompt reply.
    But, in my dialog screen, on click of the button I am simply using the statement :
    MESSAGE W000(0K) with 'text'.
    The resulting warning message comes as a popup with the 'New Entry' button on it.
    From the warning popup, how can I remove the button.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?

    I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Product name: HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?  All the HP website shows is how to remove memory covers.  Unfortunately, with newer models like mine, the whole back cover needs to be removed.  I have tried unsuccessfully to remove it but so far all that I have succeeded in doing is to scratch my cover.  So can anyone help???
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The procedure is detailed starting on Page 67 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    Note:  I don't work for HP, but looking at the degree of disassembly required, I would say the procedure may well void the conditions of warranty.

  • How to remove the installed JDeveloper Update causing error

    Hello there,
    I install some webcenter available updates this morning...after restarting the JDeveloper11gR1 I am experiening error.
    Can someone tell me how to remove the newly installed update so that I do not experience this errors again?

    As the last resort you can rename the systemxx.x.x.x.x. folder and restart jdev again. When you are asked if you like to migrate, answer no as the error is likely to be migrated too.
    If this does not help you can uninstall jdev, remove the whole installation folder and reinstall jdev.

  • I got a new macbook pro and now I need to know how to remove the prior owners itunes id from my computer?

    I got a new macbook pro and now I need to know how to remove the prior owners itunes id from my computer?

    If you purchased a computer from another person, you need to wipe it clean.  To do this, click on the link - Erasing disks securely 
    Depending on your model Macbook Pro...
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.

  • Hello, My computer crashed, I removed the hard drive and installed it into a hard drive enclosure and now I am trying to get my Thunderbird data off of it

    Hello,
    Thank you for taking a look at my problem. My Windows computer crashed so I removed the hard drive and installed it into a hard drive enclosure and connected it to my new Windows computer with a USB cord. I installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my new computer and read the different tutorials on this website for extracting data from the external hard drive and installing it on my new computer however I cannot seem to be able to find the files that I need and quite frankly I do not know how to move them once I do find them. I even tried MozBackup but it could not find the files either. I searched for profiles.ini in the hard drive and the only hit I got was a profiles.ini file that was 111 bytes in size. I assumed that this was not what I was looking for but I did save a copy on my desktop. If someone has experience with moving files from a hard drive to a new computer I would be grateful for the help.
    Thanks,
    AN

    lets get with the program. Mozbackup is useless in this situation because it looks for your profile in the location Thunderbird says it is.
    You biggest hurdle is probably setting windows to show system and hidden files. The %appdata% folders are hidden by windows.

  • I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

    I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
    I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
    any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

    Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
    You can have a different OS on every drive.
    You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
    I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
    Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
    You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
    You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
    Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.
