Are the files $NtUninstallKB83522WXP$ and lots of files with names like KB2566454.log is necessary to keep?

Original title; These files are needed?

I hundredes swith of file names such as $NtUninstallKB83522WXP$ and lots of files with names like KB2566454.log. Can they be deleted?

My system became very slow lately and it's the first timeI saw these files.

The files have dates between 2005 and 2012. My computer took more time to start and is much slower in response to requests.

Because thses files take up so much space I would like if possible remove them.  I'm under Windopws XP SP3.

If your PC behaves properly, you can remove the hotfix Windows backup hidden files that start with $NTUninstallKB to the WINDOWS folder. Be aware that once they are removed you will not be able to uninstall the updates they represent.

There are two ways to do:

1. manually, but copy the files on a CD/DVD first to enable their restoration has a fix must be removed at a later date. Now delete the folder \WINDOWS, but leaves the orphan entries to add / remove programs intact. Remove only the $NTUninstallKB files that relate to corrections, not those for applications such as Word, WMP, etc.. In addition, DO NOT DELETE THE folder$ $hf_mig.

2. my preference is to run a script that also removes the corresponding entries in Add / Remove programs. Once they are deleted by the script, they cannot be restored. Download, extract and run this little script http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm creating a system restore point first just in case something goes wrong when the update of the register.

  • Where are the files of Windows Mail messages and contacts stored in Windows 7?

    I backed up a Windows 7 system and restored to factory State by doing a restore of the system because the system has been seriously infected by viruses.  I couldn't do the export before the system recovery.

    Now, given the Windows 7 system restore brand new I am trying to restore Windows Mail account.  In fact, I can't tell if it was a front window Mail or Windows Live Mail.  I don't know if the locations of the files for messages and contacts of these two letters are different.

    When I go to c:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\, I don't see Windows Live Mail but Windows Mail.  So does that mean it was a Windows Mail system not a before Windows Live Mail System.  I copied the files saved in Windows Mail system on the same path directory in the newly recovered system, but it doesn't seem to make a difference when I open Windows Live Mail, which is the only e-mail program on the newly recovered Windows 7 system.

    Can someone confirm the locations of the files to messages and contacts, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail in the operating system Windows 7 home.  Can I just copy the files on?  With Outlook 2007 and 2010, she usually works if I simply copy the files or import from the saved file.  Also should which file names be so that I can easily identify them?  Are the mail accounts and password setup to re - enter as Outlook 2007/2010 or are stored in the files I can simply copy to the new system?

  • I can't open anything without: "choose which program you want to use to open the file with" and "Application not found".

    I got a used computer and it worked fine for a while. I guess that I did something for her, because now I had a problem with the opening just like files and almost all of the icons in the start menu. I found someone had mentioned this on another post, but it has not been answered and I have the same problem:

    "I don't know what to do. I tried reseting IE back to its "settings by default, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't let me open any programs on my computer. I can't even find the virus because there asking what program I want to open it with and when to choose IE he sent me through a series of 'SAVE or RUN' windows and then back to the "choose a program you want to run the file with.» I am only able to access the internet via a shortcut of Internet Explorer button that I dragged on the start menu, because the original one on my desk does not open. »

    It's the best way I can explain this problem. I've had this problem for a while now and I have looked everywhere for an answer and still nothing. It would be great to get help, thank you!

    This problem has not helped me with my problems to download iTunes correctly, that's why I set out to solve this problem in the first place. I also get a lot of it popping up every 10 minutes:

    "MobileDeviceService has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. »

    The error signature is always:

    szAppName: AppleMobileDeviceService.exe szAppVer: 17.88.0.8

    szModName: kernel32.dll szModVer: 5.1.2600.5781 offset: 00012afb

    It won't do anything when I click to send error report or not, it does not close anything as it is normally would. I think it might have something to do with the steps I took to reinstall iTunes properly...

    IMO, if you have Windows XP or a newer version of Windows, not worth obsessed during defragmentation.

    That said, I offer the following comments:

    • Files that start \System Volume Information\_restore {... are your system restore points.  If things are running OK and you do not anticipate the need to restore to an earlier time, disable System Restore (which will delete all system restore points) and then turn it back on again.  Or just run Disk Cleanup and use remove all but the last restore point.
    • The \WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G7HWHKBP\iTunes[1].msi file looks like a file cache of remains of Internet Explorer 5.  In any case, it is a setup of iTunes and you can safely remove.  In general, you can safely remove all in C:\Windows\Temp
    • I guess you kept all of these files in e-mail Netscape 7 for some reason, but if they had just neglected when you moved from Netscape 7 for any email application you use today, you can remove these establishments.
    • The normal Windows Defragmenter cannot defragment various system files, including the page file and the MFT, which are quite highly fragmented in your system.  I think that for this reason there is not enough contiguous space on your hard disk to defragment most of the other files in the list even if you have more than 9 GB of free space.

    To defragment the paging file, you can disable (or very small), restart and then set it to "system managed size".  To do this

    • Make a right click my computer and select Properties
    • Click on the "Settings" button in the box 'Performance '.
    • Click on the "Advanced" tab and the button 'Edit' under 'virtual memory '.
    • Click on "No paging file" and the "Set" key
    • OK your way out and restart
    • Defragmentation and then go back and put the pagefile "system managed size".

    A better approach, however, would be to use (free) PageDefrag, which defragments non only the pagefile, but both the Windows registry files.

    Microsoft has apparently made a utility that will defragment the MFT (on the restart), but you must call customer service to get it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.Aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320397 I used not this utility and cannot give you any information about it beyond what is in the Article.

    Some commercial defragmenters defragment the MFT (on the restart).  If they have trial versions, trial versions may include this feature, but I don't know.
