On a Win7 or Win10 machine today:
1) How do I stop it rearranging icons on the Desktop? It seems to want to put them all into a rectangular grid, where do I turn that off?2) I want to see mounted devices (disks, memory sticks) as icons on the desktop. How do I turn that on?
3) The printer stopped and we thought it had finished. Eventually I saw where it said "drum alert" or somesuch on the panel, which seemed to mean I had to open it up and stir the ink powder in the cartridges - there being an almost inaccessible slider for the purpose. So we did that and it worked. But what I couldn't find was any way of showing the print queue to see the printer status was so I could delete some jobs etc. There appeared to be nothing in the start menu.4) Outlook mail: on any mail client I've used (Eudora, mostly), you can configure the frequency with which it queries the host for mail (so, every 10 mins or 17 mins etc). I couldn't see a way to do that in the config stuff for accounts, is it elsewhere? Or do you have to do it manually?
5) Outlook mail: the person who normally picks up the mail is off sick, so I'm looking to configuring my mail client at home to pick that mail up. I could see how to configure Outlook to "leave mail on server for some days" as you can in Eudora. The problem is the password. How can I see what that is in plaintext?
