Googling finds a number of such programmes, but can anyone recommend an AV programme which can be set to scan all other PCs on my home network, without the software being installed on every PC individually? Or possibly an online scanner that will work over the internet? Whatever, I'd rather not install stuff until I know more about it, and recommendations (freeware preferred, but payware...

Whenever I create a new subfolder and drag and drop music or movie files into it from the parent folder, the details listed are changed from my preferred default details (Name, Size, and Last Modified) to Title, Contributing Artists, Album and # (Track Number). As it's tedious to manually change them all back every time it happens, is there any way of switching off this annoying behaviour or am...

Hi. I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this little problem. I posted about it on the Windows 10 forum some months back, but ideas dried up. In any case, now I think about it, it is probably more to do with Windows 7 than 10... I have two PCs both running Windows 7 Home 64-bit. They are on a home network alongside a laptop running Windows 10 Home. I want all three to see each other and share...
