editFont Designing Software
editWhich is the best software package, Windows usable, which can be used to make fonts from scratch without much ado, by an untrained user. Jon Ascton (talk) 12:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Google it. Quite a few people have made lists. There is no "best", it depends on your preferences. [1] [2] (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 12:46, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
MS Outlook 2010
editHow to create password protection on an "Outlook.pst" file? A specific guide required please. 123.108.246.225 (talk) 16:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Here you go. This kind of password protection is not very strong, and there are many tools that can remove the password protection [3]. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 16:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
MS OneNote 2010
editI can password protect a section but not its "Notebook", could you give me a specific guide please. 123.108.246.225 (talk) 16:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- No, I cannot, because that is unfortunately not possible. Many people have asked for this feature, but as far as I know it has not been implemented (yet). [4] (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 16:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Duplicate Installations
editFailed installations are displayed in the "Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Recovery" window, thereafter following through the "Open System Restore" option, and it does not display in the "Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Programs and Feature" options. E.g., I installed MS Office 2013…
1) What do I do? I wish to remove them off the PC...
2) I wish to try reinstalling but the problem is the preious data available. Will it replace as it is installing?

Encryption help
editI’ve tried using the built-in encryption facility for the MicroSD, it’s not helpful enough. Could you please refer me to a reliable app (or a PC software) I could use for password protection, that also works (requests for password entry) whenever the MicroSD is inserted in PC. A software that works on both platforms basically. 123.108.246.225 (talk) 16:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Android Phone softwares
editHow do I transfer downloaded softwares available on my android via OTG cable to a pen drive, so that I can re-use them later when desired?
Plug n Play facility or installation exe with its folder is required to find, and I don't know what to do as I'm new in Android platform.

- Can not you just copy them to the pen-drive using a file manager? Ruslik_Zero 20:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- If your phone is not rooted, you probably won't be able to.
- The apps are stored in /data/app (for user-installed software) and /system/app (for software that came with the phone.)
- Unfortunately, If you try to find those folders without root access, you won't find them because they're hidden. ApLundell (talk) 21:07, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
