But lately, I have had opportunities indicate that loggin, there was a long delay, after typing my password with the message: "preparing your desktop" displayed on the login screen (the PC was night shotdown, not having changed anything to the system), then I am connected to a desktop where I lost all my custom settings : wallpapers, plans, location of the updated table on the page icon, were all gone as if I start Windows for the first time, and every program I tried to run from there thought while they started upward for the first time.

How can blackBerry smartphones, I get rid of this sign of the world?
I had this sign in the world and number one and more on the main screen, I don't know how it got there! can anyone help to get rid of it?
If I have the right to mind, which is a browser notification. You can disable it by going to your main message folder, then press the BB Menu key and do scroll to the display folder, select it, then take a look in your WAP Push Messages folder. You should find the message where you can delete it then.
Note that if you have the main folder of Messages on your phone, go to the home screen, press the BB Menu key and select Show all in the options. Then you should be able to find your Messages folder.
I hope that helps!

Why most of the files by e-mail in local folders open with the Message Search screen?
Not much more to say. Instead of open and display the message headers and the preview window, most of the E-mail files opens with message search window. It seems that the size of folders or something small to display headers of message, messages in the folders.
There are a lot of free disk space (300 MB +) on the drive where the local folders.
Is there a setting in Thunderbird I can shape where I can change this behavior?
Thanks for your help.
With anti anti-virus programs we just recommend the creation of an exclusion for the Thunderbird profile folder and see the people for the antivirus provider. Malwarebytes (my experience is the free version) is limited. but this seems to be the information you need https://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/23474946-How-do-I-stop-Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware-from-blocking-scanning-a-file-or-program-that-I-trust-
Note that the exclusion should be for your mail and your e-mail IMAP folders. To get the path to them. Open correct information in the menu help and select the button display folder. Because these files do not contain any executable files or files that would be open by other thing than Thunderbird there should be very very little risk of such an exclusion (I won't tell. Because it's always the exception that proves the rule)

Cannot start; or work from the recovery console because of the lack of administrator password. There were periodic crashes which led me to try reinstalling XP. Now I'm stuck when I get to the password requirement in the Recovery Console. As you can tell, I'm not computer literate, but can follow written instructions on how to recover from this. Also, would like to know how to recover my files and programs if they are not lost; or how to determine if they are.
gchtm5,
Thanks for posting with us. If you no longer have the administrator password you can perform a parallel installation so that your data will not be lost. However, you will need to reinstall your programs. This link covers the different installation options.

Other browsers open a PDF on the web in the browser, what pleases me.
Firefox wants to download, I don't like.
The parameters do not seem to allow me this choice for the pdf. Other types of work files.Hello
Try renaming your mimetypes.rdf file in your profile folder - where the actions of the file are stored, so when it fails, Firefox will recreate this file. I hope that when this happens, it will be by default so that the files PDF opens in Firefox.
To access your account profile if Firefox is open:
- Go to the troubleshooting page, either:
- Enter Subject: support in your address bar and press on enter
- Go to help (or
>
) > Troubleshooting information
- In the page that opens, click the view file"" button.
- (Firefox) output
>
)
See article profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other data from the user for more information, such as where to search for the folder where Firefox is not open.
Rename the mimetypes.rdf in mimetypes.old file, and then restart Firefox. If it works, you can delete the mimetypes.old file. If it isn't and you wish to return your application settings, you can rename the file mimetypes.old to mimetypes.rdf (make sure that you quit Firefox before that).
