Search in Windows Explorer display folder name in other language - windows-8.1

My computer was installed with Swedish operating system. I changed it to English.
In Windows Explorer i see C:\Users, but when i use the search function (in Windows Explorer)...it gives me C:\Användare (swedish for Users) in the result.
How do I get the search result in English?

It was all about Indexing. When I turned off "Index searching", then it showed me C:\Users in the result.

It's possible to Rebuild the Index, and that is a tip if you have changed language and want to keep Index when searching.

convert speech into text in excel - can this be done

I am working on a form, for which I would rather not rely on the one fingered typists in the workshop to fill in (with the inevitable typo's). Therefore I wondered if anyone know how to speak directly into some cells in excel and have that speech turned into text?
I have searched the net and constantly find the text to speech option which is the exact opposite of what I would like to do.
Although this question might be more appropriate for a different site (e.g. https://superuser.com/), here's some information that's out there.
Windows has built-in support to speech-to-text. This article is for Windows 7, but I was able to do something similar to get it to work for Windows 10 (I'm not sure what version of Windows your shop uses). I'm sure there are other commercial products you can use.
With Windows 10, I had to enable speech services, then use the Win+H keyboard shortcut to activate dictation. With Excel open and in focus, anything I said was entered into the active cell.

BizTalk BAM Excel "Unable to get resource string"

When I click "BAM Activity" in Excel (2013 32-bit, running on Win 2008/R2 BT2016) I get one of two issues:
1) Variable not defined (on lvwTraces)
I tried solution from site below (changing Active-X trust settings),
which sometimes get me past this to error #2, but sometimes not...

2) Unable to get resource string
I saw one posts about installing multi-language pack and setting language or region options.
http://vamsibiztalk.blogspot.com/2006/01/list-of-various-bam-questions.html
We are in the United States and not using any special language options. Looks like the language pack was for people who need non-English??
My Control-Panel Region Settings shows English (United States).
I've never gotten past these errors to see the BAM menu.
When they talk about setting the language, I thought I would show my language settings in Excel here, as I'm not sure where else to set this, or if that is even the problem at all.
My Control Panel options are also set to English.
Looks like I must have accidentally changed the file, so went back to the original.
I started looking at the code and the errors, and looked like the variable/object "lvwTraces" was a list-view on the form that I might have unintentionally deleted.
I compared the file below, and noticed they were different sizes, so
I copied From:
"c:\Software\BizTalk2016Dev\BizTalk Server\MSI\Program Files\ExcelDir\Bam.xla"
To:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\Library\Bam_Backup.xla"

Search in Issues feature gone from GitHub?

Not sure when it happened, before the change or after, but I'm not able to find a search box for searching in issues anymore. Has it been relocated, or it's gone?
Any search you do in the main search field (preceded with "This repository") when you are in a GitHub repo page will return:
result in code
and issues
Note: The shortcut / will focus on the search field and search within the context of a repository.
Note: that shortcut doesn't work with a french keyboard on Firefox. And it only works if I type ':' (again on a French Keyboard) in Chrome. So your mileage may vary. With US locale, this should work fine.
Note that in 2022 (9 years later), there is a command palette, and you can customize the keyboard shortcuts.
When browsing a repository, you can use the "/" shortcut (just type the character) to easily search issues (as well as the code.) There are a lot of really helpful shortcuts (i.e. "gi", which transports you to a repos issues list.)
Type "?" to get a list of shortcuts for a particular context.

Modify Windows 7 Start menu search algorithm?

I really like the fuzzy matching search algorithm that Sublime Text 2 uses for its command palette and I was hoping to create something similar that runs through the Windows 7 Start menu search.
I already found the Windows API Code Pack for .NET Framework but that only seems to provide API hooks for using the existing Windows Search inside my own applications.
Is there any way to modify or replace the search algorithm that the Start menu search uses for searching installed applications and files?
I am pretty sure that is not possible. But it shouldn't be hard to program a little something that overlays the search box and (if there is something in the search box) also the results area. With this custom gadget it wouldn't be hard to use any search algo you want.

Getting valid Timezone and keyboard language lists in linux

I'm currently working on a project where I need to give the user the ability to select a timezone and a keyboard layout. My approach to this would be to give them the options in the traditional way ie: via a combo box. However After having difficulty in obtaining valid timezone options and keyboard language options from the command line I'm wondering if such commands exist, or if there is even a way to get these lists without having to trail through the directories and retrieve them one by one.
Any help or clarification on this would be appreciated.
For completeness: i'm working on ubuntu 10.04.
Cheers
Chris
