• Windows Mail - Can't delete emails from any box (Inbox, deleted items, items, etc...).

  In October, my Windows Mail simply stop allowing me to remove anything.  I noticed it first in my Inbox, so I went to my "deleted items" empty to make (thinking that it was question) instead, but found that I could not delete individual emails or use the tool to empty folder.  Windows Mail doesn't allow me to delete ALL emails from ANY folder, so now I need to access my emails on the internet, but it's a pain that my address book is in position.

  I googled solutions and tried a few corrections people recommended when they are unable to remove files from a single folder.  They don't solve anything.  I thought corrupted program so I would update and downloaded Windows Live Mail hoping to fix it, but same problem remains.

  Error message when you try to delete individual reading by e-mail: "Message could not be deleted."  Error message when you exit the program: "certain elements in the"Deleted items"folder cannot be deleted.  An error has occurred. "Nothing specific, but ANY element of ANY folder can be deleted.

  I have disabled virus protection and were able to get into my box removed and delte the bad email.

• I have windows xp, can I delete it all and have Mozilla onley as operating system

  Microsoft is about to stop support of XP. Can I remove IE and XP operating system and get the full capacity of Mozilla?

  Hello ralphmcgraw, CERTAINLY NOT.

  Do NOT remove IE from xp, it necessary for some processes, including updates, also, the functionality Windows etc.

  Firefox is a web browser not an operating system (OS), so DO NOT remove your xp OS.

  the best is to upgrade your operating system to win 8 at a later date. Firefox works with xp for a least 2 versions more (29 Australis) and a little more. We are now in 27 version, you can Update to 27 also.

  Thank you

  using computer Windows 7 and current Windows Media Player - given to me after the mine crashed and burned.  Went through all the settings (have everything set up right after that) but I have files Photos, music and videos that belonged to the person who owned it before.  He left the area and while I don't want to show files (what they are - don't know, don't care) I don't want to get out of here.  MASSIVE amount of files.  No matter what I seem to do they will not erase.  I have tried everything I can think of short of wiping the thing and starting over.  Help! Suggestions - idea short of dumping in the trash (setting fire to him or by running a truck, ect...) to clean this thing would be GREATLY appreciated...

  The best thing you can do with a used computer that gave you is to access the recovery partition and reinstall the default unit. Most of the laptops brand will have a reserved recovery Partition built into the main HARD disk that can be used to restore the computer to right-of-factory default. Usually activated by touching a certain key during the boot process or by using the software provided by the computer manufacturer.

  Dell uses Ctrl + F11 at the Dell logo screen to initiate the restore process. HP uses a program in Windows 7, called Manager of recovery. Your system may vary depending on the manufacturer.

  Don't forget to get all documents (including images) and any other personal information that you want to keep. Several key software product can be recovered with the Belarc Advisor before the restore, but you will need to locate the diskettes (CD/DVD, ISOs or exe) installation for each piece of software.

• Reduce the size of the folder Windows/install in Windows 7

  I found many messages touting the benefits of a utility that MS formerly offered to reduce the size of the folder Windows/Installer for earlier versions of Windows called MSIZAP.exe.  Of course, this is not recommended and has been replaced by a FixIt.

  My main drive has grown to use 60 GB!  I install most everything I am able to install it on other players.  On the 60 GB, the Windows folder using 23.6 GB.
  I have already reduced the Windows/winsxs folder to 10.6 GB 6.1 GB with the MARIKEL utility.
  How am I able to reduce the folder Windows/Installer of her current 7.33 GB size?  This file consumes almost 1/3 of the already massive amount of the Windows folder?
  Thanks in advance!
  Hello

  The Installer folder may be located in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. (Folder install is a hidden folder).

  We can delete the files in the folder, but they will be required when you try to uninstall some programs that installed with Windows Installer. So after you delete these files, we will need to reinstall or repair a related program if they cannot be uninstalled with error "needs to uninstall previous installation".

  However, instead of delete the folder of Windows install, I should delete you them using Disk Cleanup.

  In addition, reducing the space for the restoration of the system.

  Reference:
  How much space does System Restore disk requires?

  WARNING: If you reduce the disk space to be smaller than the space that is currently used by the system of protection, older restore points, including previous versions of files, will be deleted.

• Can I delete Windows updates to free up disk space?

  original title: I'm not PC savvy so please bear with me...

  Can I delete Windows updates installed, something like 386 are updated.

  If not, how can I check to make sure that startup programs I put in the folder on Desktop, does not start when I open at startup?
  Programs I don't use or I already have on the desktop. Can I in the startup or desktop folder in the folder?
  Windows Defender is turned off and I can't turn. I don't know if that's right... OFFSHORE. In any case I can't check and disable any program that can be opened at startup.

• my computer can't find the path for windows install what I do to get it back

  whenever I restart my computer, a box appears saying: it can not find the path for windows install and the box comes back to how to fix this

  Hi Billy,

  Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• In Windows XP, the $ntUninstall directories can be deleted without causing problems.

  I have Windows XP SP3 POS PC in our retail store lcocations.  These machines have a slightly smaller boot partition.  My question is, when you install updates from Microsoft, it creates an uninstall directory in the Windows directory.  So Windows XP, $ntUninstall directories can be deleted without causing problems or causing previous updates to be reinstalled.
