TortoiseGit command shortcuts in window toolbar - tortoisegit

When I installed TortoiseGit (on Windows 7), I got a number of command shortcuts added to the toolbar of windows explorer, as in the image below, and I think they are really useful:
How do these appear? Because I tried to install TortoiseGit (same version) on other PCs (same OS) and those shortcuts just do not want to appear. I cannot find anything in the Settings that show or hide them.

Those shortcuts only appear on Windows 7 and Vista and only if Git versioned folders are accessed using the Git library (cf. Working with libraries; if you can't find the TortoiseGit library, it can be re-created in TortoiseGit settings).

Git problems with creating folders and seeing them in Windows Explorer and accessing them (Weird Adobe Aero Lnk in File Directory too)

When I do the MKDIR (Skillspire HTML CSS Javascript) it works in Gitbash but doesn't show up on Windows File Explorer. Then it does access denied to go to it through GitBash. Should I try to have only one terminal open or do a 2nd virtual desktop on Windows 11?
Or is it some setting in Windows Pro or Tools?
I just started a Tech BootCamp for Python Full Stack. The instructor has been teaching 2 years and has a Macbook but most of us have Windows (Mine's Samsung Book2 Pro).
I get a weird directory showing Adobe Aero lnk also. Is there a conflict? I'm using also all the advanced settings to see everything for developer options in File Explorer.

Why do installers not open in Windows Server 2016?

I've downloaded a few different wamp packages on my Windows Server 2016 machine but none of the installers will launch. Nothing happens when you double click the installers after downloading. I've updated Windows, allowed "side loaded apps" in Control Panel, I've tried running as administrator... Running out of ideas. I was able to install Firefox, but so far no other installers will launch.
Server admin responded back as soon as I posted the question...
"A new Windows 'feature' recently added through Windows Update now requires you to unblock all applications downloaded from an external source.
Right click on the .exe you wish to use, select properties, then click unblock at the bottom."

How to remove Genymotion from Android Studio and uninstall it from Windows?

I'd like to know how to uninstall Genymotion from Android Studio and Windows?
My Android Studio version is 1.0.1
My operating system is Windows 7
I will provide you a short and fancy answer from Genymotion official documentation
To properly uninstall Genymotion, follow the procedure:
Remove all virtual devices using trash button in Genymotion.
Open Control Panel > Programs and Features. Right-click on the Genymotion application and select Uninstall.
Follow the uninstallation steps.
Delete the
directory C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Genymobile. (You can click Windows+R and type %appdata% to jump into AppData folder quickly)
Run regedit and
delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Genymobile. (Same using Windows+R combination)
To remove all
programs used by Genymotion, you may also uninstall the VirtualBox
application from Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Minimum Sdk Version Windows 10 (UWP)

I'm using VS2015 with SDK 10240 .
I've build my application already (with C#) ... But I can't run it on my windows 10 mobile cause it's build 10130.
How can I change min SDK of my application ?
Do I've to download and install the old SDK ?
Can I debug it on my Windows 10 mobile?
To manually work around this (don't forget, the app may break on phone), you can do the following:
Right click on your project in the solution explorer
Click "Unload Project"
Right click again and edit [yourapp].csproj
Find TargetPlatformMinVersion and change it (in this case, to 10.0.10130.0 or lower)
Save the file and reload the project (right click on the project in solution explorer, "Reload project")
Your mileage may vary with this as 10130 is a prerelease build of Windows.Mobile. If you need to test/debug on Windows.Mobile, I recommend using the Windows 10 10.0.10240.0 emulators, but I recognize there are some advantages to trying on a real phone.

Tortoise SVN not working after Windows XP reinstall

Before reinstalling, I had Windows XP on C: and lots of SVN checkouts on D:.
Then I formatted C: and re-installed XP on it. Then installed SVN using Setup-Subversion-1.6.6.msi, and installed Tortoise using TortoiseSVN-1.7.7.22907-win32-svn-1.7.5.msi. (maybe I should have just installed the Tortoise one by itself).
Now when I take a look at my SVN checkouts, Tortoise doesn't seem to recognise what they are. It's treating them as if they were normal directories.
You can see that this directory has a .svn folder in it, bot Tortoise isn't showing the icon overlays, or the correct context menu.
Is there something I need to do to wake up the Tortoise?
SVN 1.6 and 1.7 working copy formats are incompatible. Install 1.6 Tortoise or convert your working copy to 1.7
Have a very close look at the screenshot you've posted.
Can you see the entry "SVN Upgrade working copy" in the context menu, right above the "TortoiseSVN" submenu?
That's TortoiseSVN telling you that your working copy has an old format and you need to upgrade it to the new format.
