Stretching HDMI output on HDTV

I've had this problem before and sure hope I documented it for my Toshiba Satellite A200.

My sister's laptop, A Toshiba A300 had the same issue as me except that she has an Intel graphics card. To solved her problem:

1. Right-click desktop > Personalise > display settings
2. Intel special tab of options.
3. change screen resolution on notebook from whatever it is to a lower resolution say x 720

If I didn't post a post on my model its:

1. Right-click desktop> Ati Catalyst > Display Manager
2. Change resolution to a x 720 resolution

My theory is that due to our laptops being a 720P HDMI output laptop, it can not output 1080P resolution as the graphics can't produce that (you'll need one that can, so far I've only seen the Sony Vaio as a laptop with 1080P HDMI and laptop LCD screen resolution)

You know your an IT student when

I was googling for one of these but could't find one so I decided to start one. Help me:

Vista: Can't add shortcuts into the All Programs section

Can't add shortcuts into the All Programs section in Vista. I've had this issue for a while too not sure if its a vista bug or if I've just screwed up soemthing in vista but ATM I am quite hating Vista's All Programs sections.

To workaround this issue of not being able to add new shortcuts:

1. Start > All Programs
2. Right-click on a folder in the list
3. Select "Explore" from drop down menu
4. The shortcut folder that you clicked should show up
5. Click back OR use the breadcrumb at the top and get into the "Programs" fodler
6. Paste the shortcut into that folder
   
   ACTUALLY there is a simpler way:
   

1. Open up: C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs in windows explorer
2. Paste shortcut into that folder

Vista: Can't move/re-order All Programs shortcuts

I've had this issue for a while and was annoyed cause I like to have my shortcuts in All Programs menu (Start>All Programs) in specific order to my usage but always got the stupid Red No crossed circle icon.

At first I thought it may have been a bug as I can't add new shortcuts to the All Programs without using a workaround but then it hit me, in windows XP there is a option to prevent drag and dropping of context menu items, but I checked and hmm it is checked.

The solution is:

The sorting option of the All Programs is set to be sorted by alphabetical order of program names.
to fix disable that option.

1. Start > All Programs
2. Right-click in white space > Properties
3. Next to start menu radio button click the [customise] button
4. Scroll down to bottom of list and de-select "Sort All Programs menu by name" checkbox

Done!

Now try to move around and re-order your shortcuts.
