Fixing super-sized Windows desktop icons<\/h3>\n

Mostly, I don’t get on with track pads – there’s just something about them that I find awkward and before I know it the cursor is shooting off somewhere that I don’t want it to be, icons are being resized, or something equally annoying.<\/p>\n

I recently found myself in a situation where an errant trackpad response to my hot hands hovering over it whilst typing had left me with super-sized desktop icons but I couldn’t work out how\/why. Luckily this Lifehacker article helped me put things right<\/a> – a simple Ctrl + mouse scroll<\/code> got my icons back to the size they should be…<\/p>\n

LastPass Multifactor Authentication<\/h3>\n

For many years, I’ve used LastPass<\/a> as my Password Manager. I don’t normally reuse passwords and have gradually been increasing the complexity of my passwords but these days I don’t know the password for the majority of the sites I visit – LastPass fills it in for me. The one weakness in all of this though is my master password for LastPass. It’s a long and secure passphrase but what if it was compromised? Well, now I have multifactor authentication enabled for LastPass too<\/a>. It’s really simple to set up (just a couple of minutes) and options include Google Authenticator as well as LastPass’ own Authenticator app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MTP not working on Windows 10 anniversary update (1607)<\/h3>\n

My son has an\u00a0Elephone P9000<\/a> smartphone, running Android Marshmallow. \u00a0He was struggling to get it working with our family PC to import his pictures\u00a0until I found this forum post that explains the process<\/a>. It seems that, on the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607), the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) driver needs to be manually installed:<\/p>\n

  1. Go to C:\\Windows\\INF<\/li>\n
  2. Type “wpdmtp.inf” in search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows.<\/li>\n
  3. Once you found it, just right click on it and select install. It will take a very few seconds.<\/li>\n
  4. Connect your device to the PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
