  Hello

  The Prefetch files should not be deleted. This will slow down the normal operations.

  When you use the computer, the prefetch files are created for the programs that you use normally the most. This allows these programs to load faster.

  If you delete the files prefetch, the system must then start over again and recreate the files that you are using the computer.

  The Prefetch files are located in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. They are data files and are not human readable.

• How to open .eml files in Windows 7?

  Original title: opening eml files stored in My Documents.

  I recently changed my desktop to one using Windows XP to one using Windows 7 computer. I transferred from my old computer a great archive of .eml files stored in the My Documents folder and subfolders. These files will be open on Windows 7 unless I have change the suffix, in which case they open in a undesirable format. If I save new eml files to My Documents in Windows 7, they will still not open. For me, this is a major flaw in the Windows 7 system because I can't access previous records and store new depending on their subject. Is a practical solution to this problem? Surely, it is not unusual to store documents received by e-mail? This facility has been available in Windows XP, in Windows 7?

  Right-click on the eml file and go to properties and click on the button to edit, and then designate WLM as the program with which to open the file.

  I'm afraid that this answer does not help. I have Windows live mail already, but do not normally use my direct email address but my bt address as an alternative within the Live Mail "envelope. All emails open in my Inbox email bt and Live Mail ones. However, as soon as I save a message in My Documents, it opens. This applies to messages received on my account of LiveMail and my bt one. I checked this earlier by recording a message on Live Mail in connection with this request. It seems ridiculous to me that Windows 7 should allow live mail to use for communications eml files, but makes them useless for the economy. It seems to me that the only solution for me is to upgrade to Windows7 professional, and even then I have my doubts because my current Windows 7 Home premium came me pre-installed and I'm not sure whether it will accept the upgrade and if so, what will be the effect on the programs and data I already installed.

• Delete files in Windows 7

  Cannot delete certain files/folders with Windows 7, cannot move permissions to TrustedInstaller to administrator, any ideas.

  So, please answer the question: what is a simple way for us to delete files protected in W7?

  Hi Bob

  The system files in Windows 7 is much more complex than previous versions of Windows.

  There are a lot of files/folders that if they are deleted could render the system unusable.

  It would be completely irresponsible automatically assume that any user is an advanced expert and he understands the consequences of deleting a critical file or folder. That's why we need to know the name and the location of the files/folders involved before posting any information on the withdrawal of their.

  With W7, I can't install IE9 on the laptop from a friend, because IE8 files in the system that I can't "Uninstall" for a reason; It does not appear on the list of the programs and features Control Panel to uninstall.

  For your problem with IE8, please ask your question in the following forum.

• to access the backup files in windows XP

  I backed up my computer as specified by the installer and saved on my hard drive from the air-port.  Now that I've installed Windows 7 when I go in the file, it indicates that it is an unknown file type and I have no access.  Using the wizard to recover files on Windows 7 indicates that the drive can be used as a backup site because it is not NTFS and will not look at the file.  Now what should I do?

  OldTeddyBear,
  Here is a link that you may want to take a look.  This will allow you to download for Windows 7 XP mode.  Then you should be able to restore your backup from XP mode.

• Backup of files in Windows 8 on HP computers

  Hello

  I'll post a quick tutorial on how to back up files in windows 8 on a HP computer.

  Why backups are important

  Files can be lost from your computer in many ways - you might accidentally delete a file, or a virus could wipe out one. Alternatively, you can have a complete hard drive failure. When a hard disk dies an untimely death. Important personal items usually disappeared forever, family photos, important documents, downloaded music, and more.

  Fortunately, it is a very simple process these days to back up your content to a second, separate location. In doing so, your files can be protected against viruses or complete computer failure. This makes it easy to retrieve and place them on a new hard drive and get going again.

  Today, there are many options for the backup of your content. You don't need fancy equipment, you can use CDs, DVDs, external hard drives, network drives, flash drives, or even your backup HP Cloud storage online. It may be a good idea to back up your data in several places. For example, you can choose to back up your content on both a hard drive external and a storage site online.

  This video will show you how to back up your files on a HP laptop or desktop.

  This should give you a better perspective on why this is so important.

  If you have any other questions please let me know.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

• How to identify obsolete files in Windows XP?

  My directory of Windows (XP) rose to more than 10 GB, which for me is more than 30% of my C: drive.  I need to create because I only have 1 GB of free space on C:.  Despite the defrag NTFS seems to perform badly under 20% of free space.  (Yes, my documents and program files take up a lot of space, but not nearly as much as the Windows.)

  I suspect that most of the files in my Windows directory are really outdated, but I can find no documentation MS how to identify obsolete files of Windows.  Unfortunately, KB MS searches return only the details of the specific software issues and warnings no do not delete the contents of the directories like Installer & $hf_mig$ who collectively represent 40% of the space of files in the Windows folder.

  Can someone point me to MS doc on the identification of obsolete files in Windows?

  Can someone point me to a reliable freeware that can analyze my Windows folder & identify obsolete files?

  Thanks, J

  Thank you once again.

  I moved my Documents to my another internal drive, but it was UGLY.  Fortunately, I made a backup before you start.  The Windows Move function fails if a file is locked by a process.  Supposedly gives the user the possibility of closing the lock program, he abandoned the movement rather than a new attempt.  Thus, the move is only partially complete.  The restore function moves the files back, but not all the original files are retrieved.  (Move offers no option to copy all files successfully before deleting the originals).  With backup & some file/folder comparison software, I was able to recover all the lost files (probably).

  In any case, the above is not your fault.  I just thought you should know about the potential problems of moving.  I commented to MS on moving article.  I hope that similar questions are not present in Windows 7.

  I still have 26G standing on C, all Documents & settings Windows and Program Files.  But now I have 7 free G.  Move my Documents was a good idea, just as subjects with MS Move function.

  Thank you once again.  I will mark it as answered.  John
